Answer
Thomas:
You don't mention what sort of problem you're having, specifically, but if you could manage to get it re-strung and it seemed out of tune, then
I think what you've done is put the Tune-O-Matic bridge on backwards.
Here's some info on Tune-O-Matic bridge setup:

If you're having another type of problem, then you should specifically state what the problem is. I would be very happy to help you get it back in shape!
