Thanks. Now, what about the springs in the back.. and tuning?

@J1MB08 Make sure the spring claw is not too loose or too tight. When changing the strings, put something in the bridge cavity (push down on the bar to raise it and stick something in there) like a pair of wire cutters or needle nose pliers to block off the bridge so it cant sink back into the cavity. Make sure the strings are inserted as FAR as they can go into the saddles, and tighten them down nice and snug.

I've tried setting up my edge III with 10 gauge (regular slinky) and my strings keep snapping off while i'm adjusting, any help as to why? I had super slinky's before and had nope problem and they lasted a long time O.o

You forgot to explain how to tighten or loosen the springs.. Some people (like me) don't know how to do it.
