Floyd Rose Original tuning stability

This is a video showing how much torture and craziness you can put into the Original Floyd Rose.
To tell you the truth, the settings on my amp are all messed up because its a new pickup, which obviously required drastic settings change.


(SORRY FOR THE SLOPPY PLAYING, THE REAL POINT OF THIS VIDEO IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE TREM)

This Original Floyd Rose is made in Germany by Schaller.

GEAR USED IN THIS VIDEO:
-ESP KH 202 upgraded with a Floyd Rose Original trem, and EMG 81/85 actives
-Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings
-Dunlop Tortex Sharpie purple (1.14mm)
-Marshall MG 30fx w/ foot controller
-Dunlop Crybaby wah pedal (origninal)

Damn! Great playing! Nice guitar too man! I'm thinking of replacing the Jackson Floyd Rose on my JS32 Rhoads with this, should I?

@granto425

yep, floyd rose originals are the best, top of the line.

With a Floyd Rose trem, do you have to adjust the springs even when you just drop the low e ?

[BUFFW]

@DimeBagDarrelForever well... yes if you want it to work properly, event though there wouldn't be tthat drastic of a difference, it would somewhat lighten the experience and ability of the Floyd, and also it may increase fret buzz, because of the uneveness of the floyd rose. You could try it and if it needs adjusting or you don't mind the buzz or problems sure.:D

[DimeBagDarrelForever]

@BUFFW Does the D-Tuna disable the trem's ability to mad pull ups and harmonic squeals?

[BUFFW]

@DimeBagDarrelForever if you mean tune down to d.... well; if you set the floyd up again it should be fine. Its actually better when tuned lower than standard if its setup right, cause it will make it less likely to break a string and you could pull up higher

I have an ESP licensed floyd on my LTD. It was a cheap guitar, but man it's great. The only thing is it's tuning stability, the licensed floyd drops out of tune ALOT, and there's only two springs in the back. Is it okay if I replace it with an original? And even get new tuning machines for my headstock? It's a great guitar with a great feel, I just think it needs to be upgraded.

@BUFFW i think he ment the van halen signature D-tuna, its a piece that you put on your floyd rose to tune down from E to D by just pulling it in or out.

[Shadowofdeth7]

Was the orignal floyd rose a direct swap for the old floyd rose special? Or did you have to re route the cavity, or drill holes?

[troubletoe]

you painted it by yourself?

SLAYAAAAAAAH

[felipe1551]

what song is 0:56?

[DimeBagDarrelForever]

@BUFFW Makes sense haha I'll probably put my next guitar to d standard with the floyd rose trem, and just keep my string through body guitar for standard e and drop d. Will be alot easier till I get another floyd equipped guitar for standard e
