I've owned over 20 Floyd Rose equipped guitars since 1983. Most floating. Don't take all the strings off at once when it's floating. Do one at a time . The trem should be level. When you change the string just by looking at the level your almost in tune. Repeat for each string. Make sure to stretch the string. I can change and tune in @ 10 minutes.

+1. I find that the best thing to do is change 1 string at a time and bend the crap out of it for a while. Whammy, bend whatever. Use it as practice time!! Then re-tune that string and everything g should be good. Do 5 more times and you have a well bedded inset of new strings.

My first time... At 12 I had my first lesson and got my first guitar on my BD. It was an Ibanez RG with a Floyd. First time tuning it I ended up with the bridge pointing up at 45° and gave up, my dad tried but he played acoustics so no luck. The tech showed us how to do it the next day... not my proudest moment. I'd advise against a Floyd Rose guitar as the first. My second guitar an SG felt like cheating. What you put on the strings tune them and done? This can't be right...

Owning, setting up, and maintaining a Floyd Rose, requires a 'learning curve'. Lower-end guitars are equipped with a lower-end Floyd: the metals used in the various components, therein, are 'Zinc'-based alloys. Higher end guitars use a Floyd that is made of hardened-steel alloys. The zinc-based models', components, wear out relatively quickly.

Don't change the strings out all at a time. Change them one at a time, removing the string, changing it, and tuning it back up, before moving on to the next. That way you preserve your tension. And tune the strings up one after another bit by bit sequentially. You can't tune one string then move to the next, they'll go all out again.

I bought a Jackson JS32 new from Guitar Center(yes, I have a bit of buyer’s remorse) with a “Floyd Rose”; I’ve had it for about a year now and I’ve already changed the strings I don’t know how many times I get why people are afraid to work on their own stuff, I was recently gifted a ‘68 reissue Stratocaster that I’m having an actual, well-known guitar tech at a local shop set it up. He’s set up guitars for Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, etc and he charges $150. That’s his rate. But a $400 guitar? I’ve spent so much time changing the tuning, changing the strings because I break them, I haven’t shaved the frets or anything but it ain’t hard to set the action, adjust the truss rod, I’m definitely still learning how to play it, but it’s a fun guitar. And it’s fun to tinker with too

@@araryaerwinanto6052 it’s an awesome guitar for the price. The frets actually feel great for it being a Chinese guitar. The pickups for them being humbuckers still produce a little bit of notice while the guitar is standing still but throw a suppressor or noise gate in front of your amp and adjust the pickup height, that’ll help. If you can find one on the used market I would do that instead of buying brand new. Buying a guitar brand new nowadays is the biggest scam you can avoid. But the JS32 is an awesome guitar. For help or more info on Floyd Rose’s/floating bridges, look up Rob Arnold here on KZbin. He was the guitar player for this band Chimaira and has tons of videos on setting one up and how to tune it, etc. Like I said, it’s fun to tinker with too

Doug Marks of Metal Method explains on one of his videos the easiest way to tune a Floyd is to start on the low E string and if it’s 3 cents flat tune it 3 cents sharp and go through all the strings like that. Usually after you do that a couple of times by the 3rd time you’ll only need to do that on the low E, A and D strings and tune the others to pitch and it’s done. I learned that lesson years ago while watching Doug’s video and it works every time 🎸

For the under 400 dollar floyd rose guitars...simply move the springs in the back to the side of the bridge that needs higher resistance (the side with more tension), mine was 325 dollars and when i tried this method, i only needed to tune once every week. Definitely try this method.

You need to remove the locking nut temporarily and retune using the normal tuners. You can avoid this problem by making sure to stretch your strings as much as possible before re-locking your nut. Also, before retuning, set your fine tuners so that they are tuned as low as possible, so that if your strings go flat after you locked the nut, you can use the fine tuners to raise the pitch of the strings as much as necessary.

I own a BC Rich ASM Standard ($250) with a Floyd Rose Special, stays in tune perfectly. Only issue was that I needed to replace my stock tuners, and now it's faster to change strings since I install Hipshot locking tuners (reduce time since minimal winding is needed). I also own a BC Rich ASM Pro ($800) with a Floyd Rose Original equipped, and I have no issues with that guitar. I had a coworker in the USAF who helped me learn how to maintain and tune a Floyd Rose; it isn't hard, it just takes time and patience. Change out your strings one at a time, and if you have to do all at once, lock your bridge in place from the back end or at the tremolo block before doing a full swap to alleviate tension on the strings during setup.

My number-one HATE about owning a Floyd Rose... adjusting intonation. Oy! Currently, my PRS with a Floyd Rose is "close enough". Not perfect... but close enough that I'm not willing to mess with it. As far as bending notes, you're absolutely right... until you want to do unison bends. Floyds aren't awesome for unison bends because bending one string pulls the other strings slightly out of tune, so finding unity isn't as clean, or in tune... you can make it work, though. ;) Cool vid, man!

Funny hearing your say "If there's one that sells for 400$ new, and a guy is selling it for 200$ go for it" Because I just got a Ibanez rg470 Autumn Fade (400 new) from a guy on craigslist for 200. And I had no idea what a floyd rose even was all I knew is that polyphia uses it so I needed one. I tried tuning not knowing about the pieces on the nut and completely killed the string. So first string change I took all of the strings out by loosening the screws on the rose, Lost a piece on the nut that keeps the knobs from tuning it, Stripped the hole where the screws hold the strings (The previous owner had a wood block so I took out the peice by unscrewing it so I could take it out) So now it can only come halfway out tops, then after a 3 hour procedure I got the floyd flat, the strings tuned, so I strum my first chord on the guitar aaand its out of tune. So I spend the next 30 mins retuning readjusting the floyd over and over then It was late and I wasn't allowed to play it. But now that I actually watched how NOT to destroy my guitar and it sounds good, feels good and stays in tune

So i' ve bought a chinese Schecter diamond sunset on sale at 50% for around 180$ and it' s actually built quite good... even the frets are nice, but everything trem-related is made of something softer than rubber. the nut has got some WW1-style trenches being formed after a week of playing and the licensed floyd rose is... okay-ish i' m looking to replace the nut and the bridge with some schaller goodies so i' d like to know is it gonna be awesome at the end, or will it refuse to stay in tune because of the guitar... is this a smart thing to do?

my first guitar was a Jackson(when Jackson was still Jackson guitars) but I got it for christmas when I was 12 cause I wanted to pull harmonics like dimebag darrel \m/ Figured out how to restring and retune on my own cause there was no youtube back then lol I've had many fixed bridge, string through guitars and have always preferred the floyd rose. I love its versatility \m/ Good review bud

ijust got the kramer 1984. i changed the small stock block with a big brass block, it came with 10 guage i put nine guage and removed one spring to reducce tension easy installation and setup. for double stop bends i dont like, thats what a hard tail is for, or a strat style trem tightened flush with the body (non floating) . the thing i like about locking trems most of all is the sustain and tuning stability. i dont use the trem much at all, plus the chrome floyds are beautifull..

my first electric guitar was a Floyd rose, used for $200 but i took it home for $175 and the high E was snapped, so I replaced all the strings, played around with it for a while until I found out the proper way to mess with the tunings lol. It was damn great, I looked up online and it sells for $300, but it is just great, i haven't played with any other Floyd Rose guitars, so I really don't know the true holy grail of the double locking tremolos. The guitar is a B.C. Rich Beast Platinum Pro Series, the main guitar I use, not completely set up xD I play at drop C and have space on the fine tuners to tune the C up to a D for D standard (it is also blocked off with a stack of pennies) which is friggn awesome, but there's this other tremolo company out there called "Coherent Sound In Light" which has the same functions of a Floyd, but without a lot of the cons such as not having to cut off the ball end, you don't have to mess with the screws that are with the springs to readjust the tuning, instead, you dial it in with a knob in the large cavity in the back.

Have a LTD MH-50, bought it for $150 with a floyd. Always stayed in tune, never had a problem with it. I also lost interest when you referenced $400 or better for having a floyd on it. Would rather play my LTD than a $2000 Gibson or Fender.

Please define "bends with you"? It looks like you have to bend twice as far because the bridge is being pulled up, thereby loosening the strings. I'm thinking about getting one of these bridges. Thanks for the insight.

@BTsMusicChannel
@BTsMusicChannel 7 жыл бұрын
Before you replace your pickups with actives, have you ever compared active vs. passive pickups? Active pickups actually steal some of the guitarist's dynamic control; in other words, you have less ability to make subtle changes in volume with active pickups, thereby limiting your expression.

I bought a esp ltd ec 1000 and it was great sounding with active emg pickups but felt strange sitting when playing. I then bought a Jackson js32 king v without active pickups. Removed the bridge pickup right away and installed the emg alx pickup with the gain boost switch which was a pain in the ass to install. Then I put heavier gauge string on and man it took me forever to get it setup correctly I had to mess with everything and almost gave up and went back to a non floyd rose setup. I'm telling you though once I got it adjusted right and with alexi laihos gain boost it rips now. I wanted the esp ltd signature alexi laiho v guitar but after he passed away the prices sky rocketed. I'm happy with the outcome thankfully I'm mechanically inclined or I would have been screwed!
