I learned a long time ago when I got my first PRS with a floating trem, that when you go for a unison or chordal bend, where you bend only one string, because of simple physics as you bend the string, the others go flat. So for a unison bend, I need to slightly bend the other string a bit as well, but that's harder to do when the stationary string is fretted with my pinky. I've learned to adjust my technique to compensate to some degree, but since I don't use the trem a lot, (i.e., I don't play like Vai), I opted to add a 4th trem spring when I first got my Majesty, to help counteract the effect.
So I'm restringing my guitar, and I'm switching back to a regular set of 10's, instead of a set with a 52 low E, so I'm going to need to adjust my setup. I thought about also going back to 3 trem springs, since I'd kinda like to see how it feels. I never used the guitar with that setup, opting instead to add a spring as soon as I got it.
I'm curious what everyone else does wrt # of springs, and whether you've noticed that bending issue.
