i think i actually gave you some guff advice, there. cause you asked me about the trem depth issue. i only took into account the length of the spring and screw, and not the trem arm or collet when it is in.
although, if it was an american trem, it would be better, because the arm barely needs to go past the end of the collet for the lip to click into place. you won't be able to permorm really deep bends, either.
although, again, this picture shows where a trem should be adjusted to. look at the distance between the bottom of the trem arm and the end of the screw/spring. there is a good enough distance for light trem use, anyway
