Hi all, I recently installed a faber locking tailpiece and an abr type bridge on my 2016 Firebird. I typically like to top wrap my tailpiece although before with my stock Nashville bridge it was more out of necessity to keep the strings from contacting the back of the bridge. Anyways, the new faber studs are a bit longer than the stock studs and I’m not able to get the tailpiece as low as before. I got it installed with the included spacers though so I’m still able to lock it down despite not being as close to the guitar as before. I got it all stringed up and adjusted to my liking but I’m getting an annoying “tinny” sounding buzz from the bridge particularly when playing up above the 10th fret. I’ve read this might be from loose saddle screws or it may be from a lack of angle where the strings go over the saddles that is causing the strings to not push down on the saddles with enough force. Just wondering if anybody has experienced similar issues and if you have any suggestions. I’m going to include a couple pics of the bridge to tailpiece transition. Thanks
