Is there a reason why you want to make changes?
You can adjust the tension with the trem screws. You can remove springs. These will make your trem arm easier to move, more range. It also makes your tuning less stable if you do a lot of dive bombing and such.
Any change to the trem tension changes the height of the bridge. This affects scale length and throws your intonation off. So you see, it's not hard but there's more to it then just removing strings. If you want to do this and you don't know how to make bridge adjustments, set intonation...have a tech do it for ya.

Ive got a question too.


I never use my whammy bar,
