I don't think you ever have to change the springs. Well after a couple years it'd be a good idea, but generally, you just need to get it set up by a professional at least once a month. As with every guitar, your intonation and truss rod should be adjusted every time you put new strings on, or change tunings for an extended period of time.

how or where do I find out how to get this done or do it myself???

google.com maybe?
When ever I don't know how to do something, I google it.

ha!
would of made more sense probs to do that!
cheers

You dont need a setup once a month! Most people recomend every three months! Just take your guitar into your nearest music shop and most of them will do the setup for you. Its not a good idea to do it yourself!

Its not a good idea to do it yourself! Or what you can do to check if your guitar needs to be setup is: play the harmonic on the 12th fret, use a tuner while doing this, then fret the 12th fret with the tuner again, if the two are badly out then it will nedd a setup, if not then it obviously doesnt!

It'd be better to do it on the 24th fret if you have it. The intonation gets worse, the higher the fret.

u better have a damn good tuner then. cheap tuners will not pick up harmonics at the 24th fret.

I have a crummy, 3 year old KORG tuner, and it picks them up every time.

well. korg is supposed to be really good... even the cheap stuff i guess. i have a boss tuner/metronome, i bought it because it had the metronome feature also, so that was cool. but i gota say i thought boss would be better. i dont know if its just this particular tuner or boss as a whole. but the tuner kinda sucks. i havent tried, but i dont think it would pick up a harmonic at 24 there...
