So I've had my gotoh 510 floating for about 2 years now, everything was all nice and good until today when I decided to bottom it out so I don't have to retune the entire guitar just to go to dropped D.
So I lower the tension on my strings, and begin lowering the studs. I get the bridge nice and flat against the surface of the body, and start tuning back up, and tighting the claw screws. Eventually, I noticed that the anchors keep pulling up. So I loosen the strings, push the anchors down, and notice they want to pop right back up.
I looked in the gotoh manual and see there are two screws inside the stud - the stud itself, and the stud-lock screw. I follow the instructions there to tighten the lock screw, but again, the anchors keep coming up.
Is the Gotoh not designed to sit that low? I get "why" the anchors want to come up, but I don't know how to fix it.
