saks Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 the little knobs on the bridge are for fine tuning. when you reach the max/min those will turn use the allen key to loosen up the locking nut then use the tuners, lock the nut then tune with the little knobs. Here is toneking explaining it or search for floyd rose tuning on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to need this. http://www.musicradar.com/tuition/guitars/guitar-setup-how-to-restring-and-balance-a-floyd-rose-locking-vibrato-624520 or this http://www.guitarrepairbench.com/electric-guitar-repairs/floydrose_tremolo_setup.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftzilla Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Also when you change strings you might find you will have to adjust the spring tension of the bridge to get a good balance and "flat" bridge position. If you stick to the same gauge strings once you have dialed in you should be okay and not have to do it again. It can be frustrating especially if it is your first Floyd Rose system, but once it is dialed in it is a very stable system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
