Does doing what you did change the stiffness of your strings making it harder to bend?

Excellent question! The fact is some instruments benefit from stabilizing the trem, others work better with a floating system. In practice, it really comes down to string gauge (pressure) and how rigid the guitar is. Some handle it much better than others :)

I assume you need to do an entire setup after decking the bridge because the setup was done with the floating bridge taken into account. I just got my strat and whoever did the setup did a fantastic job that I don't think I can match if decking knocks everything out of alignment.

An entire setup? Not at all. Other than decking the bridge plate, all you need to do is raise the saddles to their previous height. For example, if you have a 2-point trem system, you can either raise the entire bridge using the fulcrum screws or adjust the saddles individually - sometimes it's a mix of both. With vintage-style 6-point systems, you simply raise the saddles. Either way, it's easy enough to measure the current height of your strings, deck the bridge, then readjust the saddles to their previous height..In both cases you just need to reference the outer strings, the middle strings will take care of themselves by using a radius gauge. No other adjustments necessary.

Good video, thanks. Re the saddles: if you're going from floating to decked, would the saddles not go slightly *up* rather than down, owing to fulcrum motion?

Correct! Good point. This adjustment is mentioned at the 8:40 mark.
