Hello everyone,

Coming from the Parker Facebook group in need of some adjustment/fix of the Parker Trem

The strings are not perfectly aligned to the fretboard. The high e string has more space at the top of the freboard than the low. After trying to find out the issue, I noticed that the Bridge is kind of tilted to the left and on the right side you have more space between the tremolo and the guitar. The right bolt isn't fitting tight with the trem as well and you see this silver pole that holds the trem. After comparing this to multiple other parkers, this was never the case.
My question is if it is a thing that can be fixed by setup or how that happened. Couldn't find anything online sadly. Thank you all on advance!

Welcome, @Stan1998. This post shows how you can realign where the bridge rests between the bearings/posts.

Welcome!

@mmmguitar is spot on.

I had a similar case with my '98 Classic, although not as extreme as yours.

You might also want to check the nut alignment as well, that's what did the trick in my case but I repeat, the misalignment wasn't as extreme as yours.

Thanks a lot for the help, could align the bridge again and it made it a lot better soaking wise. @Jupiter the nut seems to be also not 100% perfectly aligned and by time, I will get a new nut as well. But right now, it works much much better again

You should be able to loosen strings off, pop trem arm in bridge and while applying pressure to bass side push trem while treming, this should reposition bearing back in to post and move everything back over
