Ibanez Lo-TRS II trem question (floyd rose in general)

i've got this new project, its an Ibanez RG350DX
anyways, i took the bridge apart to clean it, and when i put it back together and strung it up, i noticed that the high e string sits higher than the rest (at the bridge). it looks like the saddle is sitting higher. there is nothing to adjust it. Are each of the saddles meant for a specific string? i got thinking that maybe i fucked up the order when i put the bridge back together.

take another look at the spring plate in the back, there should be an adjustment screw on each side, unless its the zero resistance trem in which case it isnt a spring set up

actually, after reading that again, you should take it back apart and make sure you are clear of any obstruction that could impair the way it sits in the bridge, unless the whole bridge itself is crooked, pay no mind to my last coment

i managed to fix it. i took them all back off and laid them on the table. re-arranged a couple of them and they seem to be close in height, or atleast they slope together

the two outside saddles are lower on mine. i fucking hate that thing. all the screws are stripped and the knife edges are worn down so that now it clicks instead of just bends. i could just get a real floyd rose but the guitar isnt worth it to me

ok i actually managed to get it all back to the way it is supposed to be, instead of just close enough. Maybe i didnt realize it, or im too dumb to know these things, but the strings arc from high E to low E, with D and G being the highest. The saddles are in pairs. So there should be 3 pairs of two that are the same height.
E and E are the lowest pair
D and G are the highest
A and B are in between
so there, if anybody comes across the same problem i had.

i agree. i have no use for it, but i couldnt pass up the deal on this Ibanez. i blocked the bridge so it doesnt move. so it basically functions like a fixed bridge. no screwing around tuning, re-tuning, and adjusting when changing strings. Tuning to drop D doesnt throw the other strings out of tune. etc
