I have a 05' American Telecaster, three colour sunburst with black pickguard and maple fingerboard. I love it. It's a beautiful guitar and i am very happy and satisfied from the feeling and the sound of it. The only problem is that the tension of the strings it's a little bit higher than other strats and teles that i have played. Is there any way that i can reduse the tension of my guitar?

Thnx for any help! :D

yes, i' m sure! fender original 150s 009,011,016,024,032,042 on my tele. The other guitars aren't mine, they belong to some friends, but they use the same strings. Are there any adjustments that i have to make to the bridge?

that shouldn't be possible due to physics...the tension should theoretically be the same or elsethe pitch would change. the only thing that comes to mind if the gauges of the strings are the sames, is that they're from different manufacturers and the strings you use are just a little stiffer (more tightly wound, different metal composition etc.) if thats not it, i have no friggen clue. Best of luck.
