When i needed my Schecter Hellraiser /w Floyd Rose tremelo..well i had a bad fret buzz because i went from drop d to standard all the time. and blah blah blah the guy at my repair shop (parson's guitars) was nice enough to walk me through it and help me understand what was going on. so just make sure you ask questions when in doubt. all else fails google search your problem.
