Sending it back is like sending a car back to Germany for a wonky wiper blade.

Incidentally, how do people go about adjusting the action on these tune-o-matic bridges? Loosen all the strings of first? The wheel doesn't seem to be loose enough to turn by hand with the guitar in standard tuning... Or is there a lock screw? I can see a hex bolt on the stop tail side of the bridge...
Ta.

@ICBM I slammed the bridge down to the body on one of my les Paul's and never really got use to how the strings felt after it, I tried it for a few weeks but in the end I raised it back up a bit as the string tension felt better, and noticed no difference in sound.

As an aside, I've been pretty disappointed with Thomann during this purchase. I've sent them a few emails about things and not received a single proper reply. Musicstore.de via DV247 were a million times better in terms of comms.
It also looks to me that one side is much higher than the other. What is the cause of that?
Compare to.

Usually quickest way is to slam both right down and then adjust them up until your happy Its playing right

As mentioned earlier it makes the strings feel very different (in what way I can't quantify) and I just couldn't cope, which is a shame as the tail piece could literally be screwed right to the deck.
