[@lubormrazek5545]

@Dark One it's possible...it's just two to four hours of turning screws...😂😂😂

[@zamek4744]

I got my guitar for my 16th birthday, and at first I was like "holy fuck it has a floyd rose" and then I realized what a pain it is. Got a fresh pack of strings today and that's why I'm here. Wish me luck haha

[@dereke4233]

You know that feeling you get when you've been playing guitar for 25 years and you see someone do something that you've done a million times? Only they do it better, faster, and in the simplest most efficient way possible and it makes you feel like a 1st year guitarist? I got that feeling right now.

[@txpatriot7038]

I had the same experience. Back in the day we just did it, without any knowledge lol

[@davidgaston7334]

Felt similar discovering there's guitars where you gotta cut the ring off the bottom of the strings D:

[@pangoweb]

I just searched for a video like this today after more or less 25 years playing too 😁

[@guillaumealmyre2634]

Ok... this... is the absolute best floyd rose tutorial I have ever seen on the internet. The backplate thing is amazing (even if it doesn't work on some of the Ibanez bridges, as I sadly learned today). The "2 machine heads" distance to cut the string also works like a charm. Very well explained, give that man a raise !

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

I'm in for the raise! Haha! Thanks so much Guillaume, glad to hear it helped you! //Kris

[@guillaumealmyre2634]

@@anniedarkhorse6791 I ended up folding a piece of cloth enough time for it to be solid enough. And stuffed it under the bridge. Not the best solution I think, but it worked.

[@Fraggr92]

Will definitely use the machine head tip. My previous method was to pull the string taut through the head, and then pull back two frets worth of slack on the fret board before winding.

[@killval849]

I'm sure in place of the backplate thing you could use one of those wood blocks underneath, no?

[@balgus82]

I saw a video of Steve Vai's tech where he placed a AA battery under the bridge to keep it in place. lol

[@pedrosilvaproductions]

I've been a musician for over 11 years, changed maybe thousands of strings in my life. And I NEVER thought to put just the end of the string and winding it. I always cutted what I needed and put the string all the way through the tuning peg and then wound. I always ended up cutting a bit more and I probably didnt need to. You learn something new every day my friends!

[@ThomannsGuitarsBasses]

Thanks so nice to hear! Yeah, there are so many ways of doing this and everyone ends up using a different method. Glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers //Kris

[@Teodor1Oline]

Honestly, just wait untill a day you have freetime. Usually saturdays. Put on some sweet music that you love, grab a beer or six and change those strings. Maybe clean the neck and body since the strings are gone anyways and have yourself a chill "you-time". We all need it from time to time, and for me personally, this is the time i really feel free and like myself. Enjoy the string shifts! Enjoy life

[@yodada2858]

Very solid and simple to follow. Tip: When winding the strings, make sure to use pressure on the part of the string you're holding, so it doesn't come loose, or wind in a weird way.

[@PlayEngage]

This is helpful! First time working on a Floyd Rose on a 7-string and it wasn't easy when it comes to seven strings. Tuning was a painful process because it took a while before I am able to put everything in tune before locking the nut. Thank you for this amazing tutorial!

[@alexmarshall3815]

The best guide I found. First time round, the whole process takes a long time. It took me just over an hour. But it's a unique system that does a unique things, so....one thing I noticed is that the bridge does gradually become straight (flush with the body) after repeated tunings and playing with the bar, so don't rush to adjust the springs if the bridge looks tilted at first-it does come back to balance naturally, at least mine did.

[@mateuszjasicki]

Brilliant tutor, thank you for your work. It makes it clear how to go through all of the right steps. I've been tuning my gear up from drop C to drop D as I did this so a quick note to my guys: Adjust the bridge height by turning the screws in the back *before starting to fully tune up the guitar*

[@Gearhead_47]

Awesome to the point tutorial. Only two things i might add is when you put on new strings you dont have to clip the ball end, just feed the strings through the tuning key bolts and leave the ball ends on wrapped around the key bolts. 2nd when you tune a floyd rose to save some headache retuning twice or even three time just tune from outside in IE 6-1-5-2-4-3 or reverse. This way you only need to fine tune a second time and each adjustment you make balances the bridge along the way. Rose bridges are definitely worth it once you get used to them. Ill admit i havent changed my strings in over a year 😮 hence why i had to refresh myself a bit. Hope this helps and great video again nice work

[@thomasfisher763]

Ive been playing guitar for 20 years, ive had a floyd rose for about 8 years that ive spent literally entire days on the weekend tuning before. This video is very helpful lol

[@heathskrabak5214]

My first sting change on a Floyd Rose thanks for the excellent tutorial . One trick I already learned before the string change was how to get a standard tuning , and drop within the range of the fine tuners . I couldn’t get there as it came from the factory so I unlocked it , put the fine tuners close to the bottom , and the fat E only two turns from it . Tuned the guitar carefully , locked it , fine tuned , and was able to get to drop D with the fine tuner range .

[@Widderic]

Just got back into playing after hanging up my fender 15 years ago and have only been playing acoustic. Just got a Jackson Floyd Rose and needed some help! Thanks! Didn't even realize those dials on the body were for fine tuning. Cool.

I’m getting a schecter banshee in a couple days and had struggled with my first trem system (switched to hardtail earlier this year), and watching this video makes me not worry about the possible misery that goes into dealing with a trem/floyd

[@leethal6570]

I followed this video after many videos I have watched on Floyd and it was the most successful attempt I have had. When I tuned the strings and pulled the plate out from under the Floyd everything went up sharp, then I didn’t have enough fine tune remaining to bring it down. I’ll have to take the locking nuts off, set the fine tuners back up, turn them down 2 or 3 times and then go again. Almost got it!

[@supay6537]

I just did this for the very first time on my very first guitar. New Ibanez S770 installed D’addario XT strings and man what a F pain to start the winding on the pegs. I think it came out alright. I’m leaving the tuning for tomorrow. Thanks for your video it sure was helpful!

I just got my first Floyd Rose and honestly? I fkn LOVE IT! tuning takes longer but holy does it stay in tune with all those bends

Cool! Takes the fear out of a Floyd, have been avoiding one because I have heard horror stories about string changes. Those out takes ...😂🤣

[@slavoverlord1517]

I was like that at first until i got my jackson. Use it blocked and for B standard stuff and oh boy, its comfortable and hold its tuning perfectly.

[@boomerbassmeme]

@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 I am a bassist that dabbles in guitar. I play mostly rhythm guitar to work out better bass parts and never played anything with a trem. Starting to play a little lead and a trem seems handy LOL

[@boomerbassmeme]

@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 Those are pretty good and pack a punch, especially for low end. If you want more growl recommend doing it through preamp pedals. Sansamp and Dark Glass are killer. The Sonicake Boom Ave works good too for around $100. The octaver and fuzz are meh but the pre and compression are nice. I use one of those and a YYZ and can make the Rumble sound like my Ampeg. Thinking about putting Fishman Fluence pups in my 004. Those things are amazing and are more balanced and growly.

[@boomerbassmeme]

@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 For VST definitely try and get a hold of a nice preamp pedal/DI box. I have always been a Tech 21 fan, DG also make really killer ones. Saving up for a Two Notes Cab M which will be a game changer for both guitar and bass VST recording for me with the amp and cab sims. My "wooly thumper" is a MIM P I have had since 85. (Steve Harris flats so it is a little bit limited to that role.) Jazz basses are way more versatile, my main is a Hamer Cruise which is essentially a j bass. (also have Schecters and others) The keys are pickup selection and tone knob setting/EQ. Where you pluck on the bass and how you attack the strings alter the tone as well. (Watch a Jaco video and you can really see this in action)

[@boomerbassmeme]

@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 Sounds like you are primarily on the bridge pickup, blend in a bit more of the neck pickup, slightly increase your mids, and pluck towards the middle of the bass. Should balance it out a bit more and keep the growl. In 89 I was in an all original metal band and almost every song was in Eb or F# so I know what you mean. LOLOLOLOL The main difference in approach is looking at it as rhythmic foundation. You do not have to stick to just the root notes, you can change chord voicings by creating inversions, create movement with passing notes that step up to the next chord etc. Think like playing a 7th chord on guitar, it needs to be resolved by the next chord. As long as you are having fun is all that counts in the end! 😁

i had nightmares setting up strings because of the tension change but it helped a bit when i tuned string 1 then 6 then 2 and 5 and finally 3 and 4. The tension seemed to balance a little more. Still a nightmare and patience required but once in tune they stay in tune even after a divebomb or two lol

[@jaahreed]

Try tuning from the g-d outward, one of my guitar teachers taught me this

[@ookookook]

@@jaahreed This is the way!

[@cooperhamilton6141]

block the trem like he said

[@cdnit]

I find it helps after the first tuning to let the guitar sit overnight before locking it at the nut. The strings have time to stretch out and way less micro tuning after locking. (After owning many Floyd Rose setups over the years this seems to be the least painful lol).

[@naegleriafowleri2230]

[@scriptkiddy1492]

Don't you stretch the strings a few times after putting them on?

[@Termoz]

I'll rewatch this like a 100 more times before buying myself a floyd rose

Excellent. Just what I needed. Thanks. Haven't had a floating trem for 30 years...great refresher.

[@Mu77ley]

If I'm not cleaning the fretboard I always change one string at a time (starting at the low E), means less tuning and your strings get a bit of an initial stretch when they get loaded up as you remove each string individually.

[@andrea99conti]

WOW you know what helped me out a TON? going a but overtone with the E and A string, when u tune in the others u have little adjustments to make! really good video tho, the bets on the topic on yt from that i have seen.

[@Tsunim_]

this video was incredibly helpful. It was my first time doing a floyd rose by myself and this made it much simpler. Amazing video very much appreciated.

[@vinnyjohnson2530]

I recommend really throttling on the whammy a ton after you have screwed in the locking mechanism on the headstock. New strings, even really well stretched, have a tendency to adjust while using any tremolo system. You can readjust using the fine tuning adjustment knobs on the bridge.

[@МихаилЖарков-ъ6д]

Finally decided to change my strings after 6-7 months thinking "Surely it can't be that bad." after hearing a few things about the Floyd Rose. Let me just say that... Yes. Yes it can be that bad. Changed out the strings no problem, except now my bridge rests at a 45° angle and no amount of decreasing or increasing the tension of the springs at the back changes anything. I'm now currently debating throwing it as far as a can into my backyard and leaving it there. What a nightmare. At least it was still playable with the old strings omg.

Man that hack with the back plate under the bridge... life changing. I don't know why I never thought of that. I always just do one string at a time and end up fixing a crooked bridge for 2 hours.

[@bryanwchambers9734]

I personally change and stretch each string one at a time instead of removing all six. I don't have to block the bridge either. This will save a huge amount of time. I don't feel the need to clean and oil my fingerboard every time I change strings.

[@PochoNieves]

Very nice video and format. I am about to restring my EVH WG for first time. I watched a Premier Guitar tutorial first because it was the shortest and now this one. I like both method and you taught the process very different. I'm taking from both but the one thing I'll do like the other video is to do one string at the time instead of taking them all out. I don't like putting a plate under the tremolo nor taking all strings all at once whenever doing restringing. Thank you for this video.

[@Metaldad87]

Another thing you can do with Floyd's is actually to thread the string through the tuning peg first because then the ball end acts as kind of a lock for the string. I learned that from Henning on his KZbin channel and I believe he called it poor man's locking tuners 😂

I purchased a Yamaha RGX620DZ used for $360 CDN in near perfect condition about 4 years ago. The action was a little too high, so I shimmed it, changed it from the 10's it had to 9's, and all of a sudden it turned into this $1000 beast that stays in tune all month and then some (I change strings once a month regardless) , with 1.75mm action at the 12th, zero fret buzz or dropouts. Hard bar use _barely_ makes a difference to the tune. Yamaha know exactly what they are doing, and it's a shame they aren't 'cool enough' for many players. You could have an instrument well above it's price point. Not to mention the fact I can literally cut every string off it, restring it, tune it about 3 times and then it's all good., Zero float issues and no nut tools needed.

This method is way better than what I'm doing. The backplate for holding the floating bridge in place is better than changing 1 string at a time. For me the bridge is like a seesaw where I adjust the back screws on the tremlo claw, and the tuning machines. I'm trying to get the bridge to sit flush with the body, while trying to tune the thing to standard E tuning with lighter gauge strings. I can get close but it's just not there.
