So...even without a pic, it's easy to imagine.
The saddles are in the rear 1/3 of their adjustable travel, naturally putting more stress on the rear screws.
If I set the bridge level, it's clear that the rear screws have more tension; when I equalize the tension, the bridge slants slightly to the ...

I still haven't found a hosting site so I can post pics...since photobucket went nuts.

When I set the height on the bridge of my 335, I feel like I want even tension on all 4 screws so there is maximum contact and stability.
In order to do this, the bridge ends out being tilted quite towards the tail.

Do Ricks really like these values?

Thanks, Jason.
I don't think 10's would make any diff, as only the 1st 3 strings are like a 9 set; the low strings are 26,36,46.

Maybe I just have to leave them on for awhile an a nice hot closet.
How do I post pics here?
Do I need a hosting site?

Heya...Rickenbacker newbie here...
I recently took a '67 335 in trade for a '69 Gibson ES330 (I gained 5!) and the whole truss rod thing on these guitars scares me a bit!
I did the most hair-raising refret ever because I can't even straighten the neck with strings on...not to mention with them off ...
