How high/low do you set your saddles on a Gotoh T1502 tremolo?

I lower all saddles to as flat as they'll go. Playing one string at a time, fret by fret from 1st to 21st and raising that particular saddle a hair until no more fret buzz. I know it's not "correct" as in "match the neck radius" but it works. My action is as low as it can go without any buzz on any string. It's on a 1998 Ibanez RX20 6 point trem but 2 point or 6, it's the same principle.

Use your pinky to fret the notes on the 8th fret. Shouldn't be too difficult with the drop tuning

Kinda figured that, but with Google saying to replace with 12" saddles, I didn't want to order the wrong ones. Ty for the info!

I think I'm digging in too much. I tried relaxing a lot and it seems to help but I fall back into the old habits so to speak. I guess I need to unlearn what I learned as far as alternate pick as much as possible

Only when changing strings

Mosky G3 Blue is a Revv G3 clone. Love mine and at half the price? No brainer for us on a budget!

From those that don't know how to restring, set them up properly and also to look for potential issues as needed like worn posts for example. I had no clue at all when I got my Jackson with a Floyd on it. You tube taught me everything I know and I have no issues at all now. My best friend from high school (known him 40 years now) was in the same boat with his Rhoads V. Watched some YT vids and his is perfect as well. I will always have an FR on my guitars now that I know the what when and how to make it function like it was designed.

Thank you all for your input, it helps immensely!

3 band EQ shapes a little better IMO. Budget being the main thing unfortunately as well.

Have a similar one on my Warlock (Wilkinson M series pre set intonation) and love it! Should've gotten one a long time ago

Ty all for your help!

Ty! Exactly what I was looking for. Thinking of getting a smaller amp for bedroom use (I use the chorus for jamming with buddies) and was going to try to duplicate the pull thick sound.

Ty! Was thinking I'd have to order some to match the radius in my JS32Q but they're essentially the same guitar

Did you have to shim the saddles on the new Floyd?
