Welcome, Ror!

Nice guitar! The Gloss Black reminds me of my first guitar, a Kramer ST300. How I miss that one!

I'm no expert, but I'll try to help, as I understand it.

The type of tremolo that you have uses string tension to balance it.
If it's "in tune", and the trem is just 1/4" raised, it may be alright.
If you lower it, you may not be able to pull up on the bar for bending notes upwards, as the trem would be limited by hitting the guitar body.

For now, I'd suggest you play it, get used to it, but just be aware of it, until you become more proficient at playing, and what to look for when you decide to upgrade later on.

Enjoy it, and keep us posted with questions and updates, either way!
I'm not a real Guitar Hero, but I play one on TV!
