How can I fix my guitar?
I have a BC Rich Pro X Mockingbird guitar with a Tune-O-Matic Bridge. I got it about a month ago and it was perfectly fine, nothing at all wrong with it. I wanted to change the tuning to play a Motley Crue song but you can't with the way the headstock has the screws on it that keeps the tuning. the guitar came with allen keys so i figured that to change the tuning, I simoply had to unscrew the top part of the fretboard a little bit and change the tuning. Not only was it a pain in the *** to keep the tuning while it was unscrewed, but when I screwed it back, all my strings started buzzing and they still do. Some of the strings just sound messed up too. What can I do to fix this? I plan on going to a guitar store to fix it, but I don't get how this could have happened. Please Help!

Motley Crue songs are a whole step down.
Your guitar has a tremolo system meaning you should not be changing the overall tuning (unless you have an EVH D-tuna) of the guitar for pressure reasons (springs in the back etc..).
You just threw the guitar's pressure system with the tremolo off balance so you should just take it to the shop so that they can set it back to normal.
For future reference if you are at standard tuning with a tremolo system guitar, stay at that tuning. Even changing strings with a tremolo system is a ***** because you have to make sure to keep the pressure at a similar amount.
Good Luck.
