Thanks, I'll look into more springs.

After fiddling with it a bit more it is playable and stays in tune, surprisingly enough. Action is a bit high for my liking, but I was getting 1st fret buzzing before changing strings and that's fixed now.

The nut for the truss rod appears to be stripped so I wasn't able to adjust that, unfortunately.

Better try the international do not call list, too

Exactly. Let's give ourselves a pat on the back for this symbolic gesture that, uh, does nothing but make us feel better about ourselves! We're cool now, right?

Ah yes, Reconciliation Lite ™ - "I can't believe it's not reconciliation!"

Youtube told me they were, but yeah I agree they aren't correct for my problem. PS I loosened them because after putting on the new strings and tuning, the bridge was sharply pointed downward toward the pickups, almost digging into the body.

I did take off the back plate and tightened the two screws attached to the spring mechanism, as tight as they would go without stripping. That didn't make too much of a difference unfortunately.

I've tightened them to the point they're practically flush so I can't go further. And yeah, tight springs are scary to begin with.

I've just tried opening it up and tightening the screws attached to the spring mechanism to get it to pull back more. I don't see a noticeable difference on the bridge angle, though.

Sounds like this JS11 might not be designed to handle the higher gauge?

I figured it was the strings causing it. Here's a pic of the bridge screws I'm referring to. Thanks

Otterbox Defender. 5+ years and still mint condition, except some paint scratches on the headphone and USB inputs.
