Tri-cone moved while re-stringing
Okay, let's get it out of way - I'm a dumb ***. I recently bought a National tri-cone Style 1 resonator with a very old set of strings on it. I bought new strings, loosened all the strings on resonator at once (didn't know any better) and the tri-cone moved. Now when I tighten the strings - usually OPEN G or D tuning, the high E string is fractionally higher than the B and it makes getting a good sounding slide on the B string nearly impossible because of the angle. Does this make sense? Any ideas or suggestions are very much appreciated. I have tried to move the tri cone around many times but I get the same result. The local guitar shop can't get me in for 4-6 weeks, so I would love to fix this issue myself.
And yes...I now know to remove one string at a time in order to keep tension on the bridge.
