Tunning Strings With A Floyd Rose Locking Bridge?
I have a Ibenez Rg series with a floyd rose locking bridge...its a pain in the ass to tune. I Know how to tune it I just cant get the tremolo to be flush with the guitar its arced up pretty high from the base of the guitar and strings are kinda high off the fret board...I know You Can adjust the screws on it tighten it to put it down and lossen it to bring it up...I must be doing something wrong...I just put new strings on it....when I tune one string the others losssen..and the the more tight they are the more the tremolo arcs up...im prety frustrated with it...can any help?
I had the same problem with my schecter, so I'll try my best to explain.
Tune the guitar to whatever tuning you play in, then adjust the screws, then retune, this took me about 2 hours to figure out, just be patient. Tune your strings like this: 6 - 1 - 2 - 5- 3 - 4. Once you figure it out it's easy. Remember, loosening the screws will drop allow the tremolo to rise up, and tightening will cause it to pull down on the tail.
Also, as far as the strings setting up too high, adjust the saddles, bring them forward from their factory position. Use your allen wrench to unlock them, you should do this before you tune the guitar as it's impossible to get to them with the strings tight. This should lower them quite a bit. A Floyd Rose is a horrible contraption.
Another tip for you is to use your fine tuners on the floyd rose after you've got the strings locked into place, this helps alot. Get the strings in the general area of being in tune, and lock them. Then use the fine tuners to get them adjusted completely.
