I talked to a guy at the music store today about this phenomenon, this is what he told me. The 2 bigger screws added more mass to the floating bridge(Floyd Rose trem), But probably not enough to make as big a difference as I was noticing. The fact that I adjusted my action after so long(the last time it was adjusted was when I bought it 3 years ago), that is why I noticed such a big difference in tone,sustain, and playability. He told me I should adjust my action/truss rod more often, given the humidity levels, and changes that happen through the year down hear in the south. Kinda makes sense to me. Guess I'll be doing a little more maintenance on my guitar/s from now on. He also told me that winter time is the worst on guitars and wood in general, cause when your heater kicks on it dries the ambient air in your house very rapidly. Then he tried to sell me a humidifier for my guitar case, no thanks.


Always scoop the mids!!
If it ain't METAL...it AIN'T music.
