![]() ![]() It can be more involved than a fixed bridge setup, but it’s not as bad as it sounds! It’s time for you to learn. A lot of players just avoid it all together and have to pay someone for a setup. So, we thought we’d touch on a related subject that often frightens guitarists who have had little or no experience with this. If your fine tuners run out of range you must repeat steps 1 through 7.Last week, we posted an short guide to the different Original Floyd Rose models. This adjustment will slightly change your tuning. If your action is to high or to low, adjust the action with the two rocker screws (bridge pivot screws) using the 3mm Allen wrench. When tuning is complete, check the action of the strings off the neck. When the bridge is sitting parallel to the face of the guitar and the strings are tuned to the desired pitch, re-clamp the three nut clamps and re-tune (if necessary) once again using only the fine tuners. ![]() If the base plate is tilted back toward the body, you must loosen the tremolo springs tension by turning the spring claw screws counterclockwise and repeat step 4. If the base plate is tilted forward away from the body, you must tighten the tremolo springs tension by turning the spring claw screws clockwise and repeat step 4. When the strings are at the desired pitch, check to see if the bridge base plate is sitting parallel with the top surface of the guitar. Repeat step 4 until all the strings are at the desired pitch. You must tune the strings a little sharp or flat to get to your tuning because every time you change the tension (or pitch) of one string, the other strings change pitch in the opposite direction. ![]() If the low ‘E’ is sharp, re-tune as just described only tuning the first five strings a little flat. If the low ‘E’ is now flat, re-tune the strings starting again with the low ‘E’ but this time tune the E, A, D, G, and B strings a little bit sharp, then the high ‘E’ to pitch. When you have finished tuning all of the strings, check the tuning on the low ‘E’ again. ![]() Tune the strings to your desired pitch (this can be drop tuning, open tuning, or standard pitch, the procedure is the same for any tuning) with an electronic tuner starting with the low ‘E’. Set your fine tuner screws on the bridge to the middle of their adjustment range. Loosen the three string clamps at the nut So this time i simply was more careful and also followed this guide from Floyd Rose on how to tune the guitars which helped me properly adjust the bridge while tuning. The "issue" was simply, i was pressing on the bridge while turning the knob making the bridge bend back a little, lol. ![]()
