ESP LTD SA-2 (Richie Sambora Sig.) Issues & Peavey Vypyr 120 Watt

This video is pretty much going down what I have wrong with the guitar. So Ignore the "review" thing. The things I've had wrong with it so far:

After a string broke for the first time since buying it, I replaced all the strings incorrectly, as in, Not having something to hold the Floyd up so that the springs wouldn't go back to their natural state. Thus, putting new strings on bowed the neck inwards.

That all has been fixed since then, and now I am dealing with fret rub. I feel that's either due to the bowing of the neck in the past or when the neck was realigned. That is soon to be fixed.

And Finally, Pick-up feedback. It's been doing this for a little bit now. But it was never this bad until after some playing. I'm thinking of putting in EMG 81s & 85s. But I want to know if it can either be fixed or if I'm the only one with that problem.

@silvermullet I'm confident that these are standard.

[killerpfurtz]

Would you recommend the guitar or not? 

[claimless]

@killerpfurtz Well, if you're ready for the challenge of a Floyd Rose, then by all means, yes. I still have this guitar here and I plan on taking out the old pick ups again for EMGs. But I do plan to conquer this beast.

@claimless

Is the floyd rose really so bad? What means conquer this beast? :D 

[claimless]

@killerpfurtz Depends on how bad you want to make it. I didn't realize how much maintenance it would be, but I plan on learning how to do everything with this guitar. Eventually, I'll be happy with it.

Yes! I delt with this myself .I have two Ibanez'es one with the edge pro bridge,the other with a Floyed Rose.I got a thick book with one of mine that illustrates how to set up a floating bridge.So yes you want to find a thin metal plate or hard plastic cover with cloth then procede to slide under back of bridge. Make sure you use the right gage strings.and only use the fine tuning after you have your strings set close to tuning .I didn't have to ajust my neck on mine,no frett bus on mine .

[Guitarman3348]

Then make shure that the fine tuning is not ajusted down to far on your floating bridge .sometimes you may have to ajust your springs to get the right a mount of tention on your bridge but ajust very slowly only after you put the strings on this is done.keep in mind that when doing this it lowers the bridge inback. when tuning each string start with first and second get tuning close as possiable to your perfered pitch lock down nut and procede to third&forth string same process all the way up.
