Mildly annoyed with my Dad. We got some guitars from my late grandfather, and he wants to sell the Stratocaster. Ok sure, his decision. However, I tune it to see if I have the same problems with it he does (the bridge being to high up and not sitting flush) when I overtighten the first string and break it, and notice that the bridge lies more flush now.

I brought up my suspicions that perhaps that the bridge problems he had might be because the strings are too tight on it (though I said overtuned) And he said that couldn’t be the case because he used an electric tuner. Well it’s tuned right, why is the bridge practically being pulled out of its socket?
