molto molto interessante. la mia domanda è... quante volte si potranno avvitare e svitare le viti del ponte nel legno prima che il legno si "allenti"... si spani o insomma... succeda qualcosa? per quanto si sta attenti è sempre una vite dìacciaio che penetra nel legno... Però è veramente una scoperta, questo metodo!
Piergiovanni chiediti: quanto volte dovrai cambiare gauge di corde nella vita su questa chitarra sulla quale hai il floyd rose? 2, 3? E quante volte nella vita per fare questo dovrai fargli fare un giro completo? 15/20? Poi chiediti quande centiania di volte dovresti fare avvitare e svitare completamente quelle viti prima di creare un danno e otterrai la risposta. Ma sprt chiediti perchè posti un commento su un un video che è palesemente obsoleto e non sulla versione aggiornata?
@FruduaTv Ciao. Intanto - lo dico - sono sorpreso in quanto il mio commento voleva essere un "complimenti (!!) mi chiedo solo se avvitando e svitando si allenti il legno", cosa che ti chiedevo essendo tu un liutaio.. e la tua risposta sembra come la risposta a qualcuno che ti abbia criticato o insultato... Boh.
Comunque: il gauge di corde c'entra poco in quanto avvitare le viti è fondamentale in questo metodo per creare controtensione e bilanciare l'inserzione del cuneo. Quantomeno per ..
@Piergiovanni perdona non mi sono spiegato e sono molto tranquillo :) L'unica cosa che rischi è rovinare la testa delle viti se non hai il cacciavite giusto.
@FruduaTv .. tenerlo in posizione. Inoltre sperimentare corde diverse, magari più spesse solo sui bassi, o tutte, è una cosa che capita di dover fare più spesso di 2 o3 volte.. E anche cambiare marca di corde... crea tensioni differenti.... Il video aggiornato l'ho visto, sì. Ho commentato questo perché mi è venuto spontaneo chiederti questa cosa su viti e legno. Anche nel video nuovo le viti vanno "toccate", è fondamentale. Se dovevo chiedermi ..
@FruduaTv .. da solo quante volte avvitare e svitare può "allentare" il legno.. non l'avrei chiesto ad un liutaio.. proprio perché io non so quante volte si possono avvitare e svitare le viti in un blocco di legno.. che era la domanda iniziale. Tutto qua. Per il resto continuo a ripetere "bei video" e ad essere iscritto al tuo canale. Buon lavoro.
This is a fantastic video that explains it simply and easy to understand. Floyd Rose bridges get a bad rap, but if you follow this video and do it right, your Floyd can be your best friend. Great video!!!!
I also wish that you were my guitar tech. Thank you for your dedication and help from this video post. I want to set mine in dropped d. Well, I have subscribed to your channel and thanks again.
hey bro i just tuned my guitar down to half a step down was in standard now i have alot of dead notes up the neck need to set it up again i got told every time u change the tuning u need to set it up again i just bought it and wanted it in half step down dunnoi how to set it up
@billyjoearmstrong33 If you tune the guitar down you just need to release the truss rod a bit. Check out the other dedicated video in my channel (truss rod adjustment).
@billyjoearmstrong33 Before you go messing around with your truss rod tension you should be releasing the spring tension on the bridge a bit first if you haven't already done that. Once your truss rod is set in the position you enjoy, you shouldn't ever have to touch it again unless it warps from weathering. Especially if you're not familiar with truss rod adjustment. When you tune down your bridge drops back causing dead notes due to less tension on the springs. IDK why no one mentioned it.
@billyjoearmstrong33 Sorry that its 3 weeks late, but if this is your first FR bridge than I'm assuming you didn't realize how they work. There's 2 screws that hold the springs in place, and to change the spring tension you just loosen them a couple turns. You'll notice it pulls the bridge back to its original position in standard tuning after you tune your guitar back up to the half step down. This is true for any tuning. That's why those screws are exposed on most newer spring covers.
grazie....non e' che sapresti il nome tecnico...x che mi sa che lo dovro' ordinare alla ibanez su internet...e dovro' essere piu' specifico..grazie ancora.
@axmanshane nono è che abbia un nome tecnico. Cerca su google la part list del ponte Ibanez con tutte le parti elencate e dai al liutaio il codice. Sono sicuro che se cerchi o trovi
@FruduaTv My 2 screw posts that came with the Original Floyd...are long & have coarse threads.... ........Yet the ones on stumac are shorter & have Fine threads. / Which is good because i think I need the shorter ones with Fine thread.
makes sense ...But the problem didnt start until I put the Original Floyd on the "new" guitar and used the "lisenced floyd screw posts" that were already on that guitar. / since my 1st posting here I have tajen the 2 screw posts out & simply reversed them with each other. (the post on the Low E & put it on the High E side, & the high E side i put on the Low E side, & it seemd to improve the tuning prob a little bit.
@FruduaTv ....I agree, I think that should do it....Now to find the correct posts that will fit the bushings thats in this guitar. I hear theres many variations for an original floyd.
@FruduaTv .......My Old Original Floyd posts...are "coarse " thread & really long . .....the ones i seen on Stewmac are "fine" thread & much shorter which thats what i think I need the ones from stewmac because the ones in it Now are finethread & sorta short ,like an inch - an inch and a half.
@FruduaTv So theres 2 different Types of Screw pivot posts for the Original Floyd? Fine thread=Bushing........and Coarse thread longer= directly into wood(no bushing) Correct?
@FruduaTv Ok, TY.....I have 2 old original floyd Long Coarse screw posts......but my guitar has Bushings for shorter Fine thread screwposts.......now i understand.......I'll just get some screwposts for these bushings ,prob solved haha. cool thanx
U do excellent vids dude,real helpful. Can u tell me why my OFR (late 80s,off old kramer) refuses to stay intune......the Only difference now from when it USED to stay intune,is the 2 screwposts are what came on the guitar & are slightly skinnier posts,compared to the OFR posts,but they sit the same so why wont it stay intune.Edges are sharp & clean. Any ideas?
@97warlock ok Sorry. So 90% of times the pivots or the FR edges on the palte are worn out. They may appear ok to you but teay may be. Some other times you may have the FR too angled Low E respect to hi E or the plate not prfectly aligned with the body. Start form this.
i have a question, i just bought my first tremelo system guitar, do you have to use the block of wood? can i use a cloth and fold it so it can hold the trem?
You could use a hard piece of plastic and put a layer of cotton tshirt between the plastic and the finish. in other owrds must be something hard not soft which does not damage the finish. And large also
Mr Frudua your method worked perfectly for me, thank you very much for posting this cause i really had had a lot of trouble with my guitar, i´m an amateur player and this was extremely helpful

What should I do????
I also put a new blade and a new screw post in the guitar and when i use it if i do back the strings go sharp and if i do bown (normal) they go flat what the ....
Please reply to question carefully and please wirte me in correct simple school english :) . Do you have a string retainer beyond the nut? Is it low enough so pitch does not change when you lock the nut. In case lower it.
Do you have any sponge of material under the springs in the rear cavity? How did you change the blades?
You must screw in just until the screws stop. Don't force anyfurther the screws or it'll block the strings. It's hard to explain but probably you just tightened too much the locking nut.
my guitar does a horrible echo in the floyd rose bridge, a friend told me that i need is a sponge to put in the floyd rose con yopu help me how to do that please?? sorry about my englis
I do not recommend it. That will influece the tremolo ability to return to pitch. The problem occours because the springs move during tremolo use. Most probably where they enter the sustain block. Try taking them out and bending a little the part that inserts into the sustain block so that it forces a bit when you put it inside again. Also check they do not touch the wood inside the tremolo spirngs cavity when you use the tremolo.
Hi I have an EDGE Pro 7 trem and i use Ernie Ball Strings gauge 11 - 56 and i use 4 springs in the trem the springs are the yellow ones they are extremly tight and i use your method to set up but 1 problem when i use the trem if i pull the strings down the strings go flat and if i pull the strings up the strings go sharp.
Why is this happend ??? and how should i fix that?????
ok i did this again probably 5 maby 6 times i think it is because the fine tuners have pieces that stick out a bit at different sizes which keeps the wood block from being consistant. but thank you soooooo much I am miles further on fixing my problem
ok i tried this...and i ran into a problem... its realy flat after the wood falls out and i tighten the head locks... it is soo flat that fine tuning doesnt work! what do i do?
Great video, very informative and to the point. I'm a lifetime fixed bridge player and just got my first FR. Thanks to you, it's now perfectly set up.
Yes you can use whatever kind of strings. Just make sure that truss rod is properly adjusted. and the string gauge is correct. The lower the tuning the higher the string gauge must be.
can you help me? my new edge pro tremolo is perfectly parallel to the body but it doesn't keep tune when im using the whammy bar.. It works only to one direction, first my tremolo work perfectly when pressing down the tremolo but when i raise the tremolo bar up the pitch gets high mostly in G, B and E strings.. When i unscrew those spring screws at the back littlebit then tremolo works only when raising tremolo bar up but tuning gets flat when i push it down. Everything is locked tight.Any tips?
1. Yes, i had old tremolo where was knife edge problems (it had worn out) so i bought new one cause the guitar dealer said that you can't sharpen those edges cause it will effect to tremolo's balance or something like that.
2. When Tremolo is pushed down and released back it returns to perfect pitch
3. When pulling the tremolo up and releasing the arm, G B and E Strings go sharp littlebit and E, A and D strings too but not so much.
and when loosening screws littlebit behind the back plate then happens that tuning stays perfectly with pull ups but not when pushing the tremolo down.. I can't find any neutral position to that.
1) Do you confirm you also replaced the two pivots with the new ones supplied with the new bridge?
2) is the new bridge IDENTICAL to old one?
3) can you please look inside the rear spring cavity and check while moving the tremolo if the sustain block or any part of the tremolo is touching any body point?
1) Check if two pivot are at same heigh from the body and refer to me. 2) If they are not try to put them same height and tell me if the problem disappear or the guitar improves some way. Lower side should be some way around 2mm higher than smaler strings side. Remember if you lower one of the pivots to check that they are not locked with the small hex screw inside them.
im not sure that if the locking nuts is working 100% but the guitar dealer checked it and he said that it's okay but that's the same what he said about my old tremolo that the knife edges was okay and the guitar tuning stability problem was with settings but other guitar dealer said that they have worn out...
it's not low pro edge, it's edge pro.. The 2 screws which holds the locking nut plate is tight.. those 3 nuts is tight but they are little bit oblique when I'm tightened them up but it should look fine.
i changed strings yesterday and the tuning didn't stay at all when pull ups but no when the guitar stay without playing on the wall 24 hours, it kept tuning better than yesterday.. I didn't notice so much difference when i first pulled whammy up and played open G string and then i pressed whammy all the way down and played again G string, no noticeable difference.. (I don't know if I'm drunk), lets see tomorrow what happens :) Thank you for the help Galeazzo Frudua :)=
You could but it is pretty advanced so I skipped this in this video. I suggest you simply follow the video and not stretch. It will work perfectly. May you lose a very minimum tuning later, it will be so small you will be able to correct it with the fine tuning.
Great video thanks for sharing Frudua. Looking forward to more tips. Have you ever done roadie for travelling band? are eXlusive and Tuscanny your designs?
dude, thanks for the tips.. it's almost embarrising how long i've used floyds and never knew how to properly zero them or even the logistics of the floyd for zeroing and tuning.
i used to zero it, then just keep tuning it over and over and watch the bridge angle keep coming up over and over again until i end up taking it to a tech.
My optives arent the same as the bass note on my guitar, i tryede moving the Sattles on the Floyd, but nothing, would i have to raise up my floyd or what?
So it's probably fault of too high strings. Be sure they are new and that the fretb relief is ok. Then lower the action to a normal height. If they still do not match should mean that the tremolo is wrongly placed on the body but it is very rare.
shitttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED HELP OKAY MY PROBLEM IS THE PIVOT STUDS WHICH HOLD THE FLOYD IN PLACE I SCREW THEM IN BUT IT DOESN'T HOLD IT IN PLACE AND I DON'T WANT TO STRIP THE SCREWS OR THE INSIDE WHAT DO I DO.

Tell your guitar doctor to replace the pivots and sharpen the knife edges on the bridge plate.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
I don't have any GUITAR DOCTOR.
and the knife edges are good the trem is NEW.
any other solution?????
ViktorVR 2 years ago
If the bridge is prefectly leveled (setup) and balaced between highs and low strings (not too hig on one side), no.
Or the knife edges are worn out or the pivots are worn out or both.

Relax. You both probably simply have worn out pivots and bridge plate knives.

i have battled with this problem so many times.
so quick and easy.
you are a saint!!!
skesis666 2 years ago
ok i did this again probably 5 maby 6 times i think it is because the fine tuners have pieces that stick out a bit at different sizes which keeps the wood block from being consistant. but thank you soooooo much I am miles further on fixing my problem

Or maybe you have rubber material in the recessed tremolo cavity?
FruduaTv 2 years ago
I do. and i followed those steps as well
yourguitarist89 2 years ago
ok i tried this...and i ran into a problem... its realy flat after the wood falls out and i tighten the head locks... it is soo flat that fine tuning doesnt work! what do i do?
yourguitarist89 2 years ago
It should not. Repeat the process make sure you exactly followed each step of the video appropriately. See the video TILL THE END.

Ciao Galeazzo, sono un tuo estimatore e sono amico di un tuo ex allievo ora liutaio ufficiale delle nostre band :)
Siccome ho trovato il tuo video molto chiaro e ricco vorrei aiutarti a produrre i sottotitoli, non so come si fa ma so l'inglese :)
P.S.

So basically, I can change my tuning for example from D standard to drop C with this method you used in this video?
Snide666 2 years ago
Yes you can use whatever kind of strings. Just make sure that truss rod is properly adjusted. and the string gauge is correct. The lower the tuning the higher the string gauge must be.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
can you help me? my new edge pro tremolo is perfectly parallel to the body but it doesn't keep tune when im using the whammy bar.. It works only to one direction, first my tremolo work perfectly when pressing down the tremolo but when i raise the tremolo bar up the pitch gets high mostly in G, B and E strings.. When i unscrew those spring screws at the back littlebit then tremolo works only when raising tremolo bar up but tuning gets flat when i push it down. Everything is locked tight.Any tips?
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
Yes, the tremolo blades or the pivots or both need sharpening. Do this and everything will go ok.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
i don't think so cause my pivots and whole tremolo with new knife edges is fine.. I checked those.
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
i also replaced springs and pivots when i bought new tremolo about 2 weeks ago
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
Reply to following questions in simple and most correct english possible:
1) you mean this is new tremolo? Only two weeks use?
2) tune the guitar at pitch. Push the tremolo arm down, release the arm. What happens to the tuning?
3) tune the guitar at pitch. Pull the tremolo arm up, release the arm. What happens to the tuning?
FruduaTv 2 years ago
1. Yes, i had old tremolo where was knife edge problems (it had worn out) so i bought new one cause the guitar dealer said that you can't sharpen those edges cause it will effect to tremolo's balance or something like that.
2. When Tremolo is pushed down and released back it returns to perfect pitch
3. When pulling the tremolo up and releasing the arm, G B and E Strings go sharp littlebit and E, A and D strings too but not so much.
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
and when loosening screws littlebit behind the back plate then happens that tuning stays perfectly with pull ups but not when pushing the tremolo down.. I can't find any neutral position to that.
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
1) Do you confirm you also replaced the two pivots with the new ones supplied with the new bridge?
2) is the new bridge IDENTICAL to old one?
3) can you please look inside the rear spring cavity and check while moving the tremolo if the sustain block or any part of the tremolo is touching any body point?
FruduaTv 2 years ago
1. Yes, i replaced the pivots also with new ones when i bought new tremolo
2. Bridge is identical to the old one but the color is different, guitar dealer said that it would fit perfectly to my guitar.
3. No, its not touching to any body point
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
1) Check if two pivot are at same heigh from the body and refer to me. 2) If they are not try to put them same height and tell me if the problem disappear or the guitar improves some way. Lower side should be some way around 2mm higher than smaler strings side. Remember if you lower one of the pivots to check that they are not locked with the small hex screw inside them.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
the pivots are at the same height from the body. :S My tremolo doesn't have locking studs
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
im not sure that if the locking nuts is working 100% but the guitar dealer checked it and he said that it's okay but that's the same what he said about my old tremolo that the knife edges was okay and the guitar tuning stability problem was with settings but other guitar dealer said that they have worn out...
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
MM hh if it a Low Pro edge should have loking studs,.
1) what deos it mean you are not sure if the locking no works properly? Just check if it is firm with the two scrrews that fix it on the neck and that
the 3 hex screws over it are holding the strings firmly.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
it's not low pro edge, it's edge pro.. The 2 screws which holds the locking nut plate is tight.. those 3 nuts is tight but they are little bit oblique when I'm tightened them up but it should look fine.
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
Oh I thought it was a low pro edge. Mount a low pro edge tremolo so.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
what do you mean by mounting low pro edge tremolo?
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
To replace this tremolo with LPE
fruduadirectdeal 2 years ago
lol why? I have brand new good tremolo, the same problem would be also with low pro edge tremolo..
RevilationGuitar91 2 years ago
i changed strings yesterday and the tuning didn't stay at all when pull ups but no when the guitar stay without playing on the wall 24 hours, it kept tuning better than yesterday.. I didn't notice so much difference when i first pulled whammy up and played open G string and then i pressed whammy all the way down and played again G string, no noticeable difference.. (I don't know if I'm drunk), lets see tomorrow what happens :) Thank you for the help Galeazzo Frudua :)=

do you still need to stretch the strings with this method?
olidude7 2 years ago
You could but it is pretty advanced so I skipped this in this video. I suggest you simply follow the video and not stretch. It will work perfectly. May you lose a very minimum tuning later, it will be so small you will be able to correct it with the fine tuning.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
i see, does tightening the springs all the way give them the appropriate stretching or something?

dude, thanks for the tips.. it's almost embarrising how long i've used floyds and never knew how to properly zero them or even the logistics of the floyd for zeroing and tuning.
i used to zero it, then just keep tuning it over and over and watch the bridge angle keep coming up over and over again until i end up taking it to a tech.
thanks.

My optives arent the same as the bass note on my guitar, i tryede moving the Sattles on the Floyd, but nothing, would i have to raise up my floyd or what?

does the harmonic match with the fretted note at at 12th fret?
FruduaTv 2 years ago
no it doesnt
xLesPaulGibsonx 2 years ago
Is the action normal or too high?
FruduaTv 2 years ago
the tremolo is parallel to the body
xLesPaulGibsonx 2 years ago
Ok but is the neck relief ok and the action (height of the strings on the frets) normal, low or high?
FruduaTv 2 years ago
they lock kind of high compared to my Telecaster
xLesPaulGibsonx 2 years ago
So it's probably fault of too high strings. Be sure they are new and that the fretb relief is ok. Then lower the action to a normal height. If they still do not match should mean that the tremolo is wrongly placed on the body but it is very rare.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
man, does this works with lower tunings? such as C????
panchitomatrix 2 years ago
It works with whatever kind of strings gauge but the guitar must be previously setup for that gauge.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
Just tune not flat but to pitch. when you're at pitch unscrew till you note the note is becoming flat on the tuner. Block and fine tune.
FruduaTv 2 years ago
shitttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED HELP OKAY MY PROBLEM IS THE PIVOT STUDS WHICH HOLD THE FLOYD IN PLACE I SCREW THEM IN BUT IT DOESN'T HOLD IT IN PLACE AND I DON'T WANT TO STRIP THE SCREWS OR THE INSIDE WHAT DO I DO.
facio559 2 years ago
Not sure what you eman. You should not touch the
pivots studs if the guitar is alreadys setup.
