Re: I put new strings on and positioned the bridge myself
I think others already covered it, but congrats on doing that. I remember my first time, playing with a tuner and getting my intonation up the neck right, I own more accurate tuners now, but the idea is the same.
As far as tone, don't know what's up there, lighter strings can give more sustain (albeit less power). New strings can be brighter and give the illusion of louder, once you play around some more with strings it will likely become apparent what is going on there.
Have you tried picks yet? That is a while journey on its own too. :-)
