Hey guys, I have a problem regarding my Jackson JS20 Dinky.
I recently changed it's standard strings to some Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom strings (High E = 10, B = 13, G = 17, D = 30, A = 42, Low E = 52)
And now it won't go tune to the standard EADGBE tuning, I can only tune it to
a full step lower DGCFAD. If I don't, it the strings just unwind itself and untune. Also, if I use the Tremelo Arm, it goes way out of tune, more than normal. Another thing is that the bridge itself moves upwards.
Could you guys help me with my problem? It'd be greatly appreciated.
I might be able to provide pictures if it helps.

Skinny Top Heavy Bottom string sets are generally used for people who keep their guitars in drop D most of the time, so that might explain your tuning and string integrity issues.
I'd recommend sticking with regular or light-gauge strings, unless you want to keep your guitar in said tuning.

Yeah, I figured that could be why they won't stay in tune, thanks for the help.

I've heard that if you're gonna change string gauge, you have to get it set up for that specific gauge. Or else the bridge will rise, and it'll be harder to tune.
I've been wanting to go to medium strings (I'm at Super Light (.9-.42) right now xD) but lack of funds has let me otherwise.
