i just got a guitar with a floyd rose tremolo. now what im wondering is, how can i set the...(tension?)....so that it feels like my other guitar which has a fixed bridge. I dont like the way it feels and sounds when im palm muting, like the strings feel looser. Should i tighten up the claw screws? add another spring (it has 3)?, or both?

No, no, you see what happens is, uh, I find out where you live and then I come to your house, see? And, I beat down your door with a fucking baseball bat! And, then I'm gonna make a bonfire with the Chipendale. Maybe roast that Golden Retriever, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, then eat it! And, then I'm coming upstairs, junior, and I'm gonna grab you by your Brooks Bros. P.J.s, and then I'm gonna take your brand new B.M.W., and cram it up your tight ass! Do we have an understanding!?

ok now back to the question

sorry, I didn't know it was like that

try googling your problem.

It doesn't. Dawdy, if you want your guitar to feel like it has a fixed bridge, play one with a fixed bridge

or buy a tremsetter

You can take it and have the trem set by a shop, stick a block of wood in there and totaly defeat the purpose of having a floyd, or like slash suggested get a tremsetter.
Nonetheless, I left trems alone a long time ago, fucking things go out of tune all the time.

i fucking love you

this sounds like its going to fix both my problems. the 2nd being that when i use the whammy bar, my shit goes out of tune. the trem doesnt pull all the way back. i have to give it a slight pull the other way for it to go back into tune. stupid jackson licensed floyd

pay a guitar shop to install it for you

I dont think anything fixes the whammy bar use/out of tune problem. I haven't seen one that is used and stays in tune for more than the length of the song it was used for.
