So this my first post ever, I hope I get some feedback since this is my first guitar project.
I recently bought a used Yamaha Pacifica 112M ("m" for maple neck) for $125. It plays pretty well for not being touched for quite some time and needing adjustment in every way. I took off the old strings (felt like 9s to me) and put on 10s. This seemed to put a little more tension (yeah i know, no kidding) on the tremelo bridge. My first question is do I add another spring to counteract this or tighten the spring screws in the back?
Thanks
Future upgrades planned:
Stainless Steel Bridge Saddles - GFS - $13 (stock vintage style are worthless in my opinion)
Graptech or bone nut - $12 (semi-hollow plastic nut gots to go)
EZ-lock tuners - GFS - $25 (just in case I use the tremelo once and a while, and for added tuning)
Feedback welcome on my upgrades.
