  • @mis4tuneband you can )) just hit off with hammer a washer/

    or change part, just look in ebay.

  • what is blocking a floyd rose? what does it do ???

  • @592220 while i agree the bridge and nut are where action adjustment actually takes place you can't so the truss rod is not used for action whatsoever. if you're neck bowed either way too far you'll never have a good action no matter what you do. Rookies just shouldn't even look at the truss rod.

  • I have all the parts to build a guitar, but i got no idea how to do it.. any video tips?

  • thanks Bob

  • I could not disagree more. The truss rod is NOT used and has nothing to do whatsoever with action. If you make truss rod adjustments to set the action then you do not know what it is for and you are mucking up the action worse. It is only to make a warped neck straight or add a back bow so when the strings are tuned up the neck is straight.

  • if you do this it restricts the movement when using the bar right?

  • @1337mas7er  i hear that man ive played floyds for years but still no idea how to set them up

  • @upr1ght Thanx for you answer! I'll see what I shall do with it. At this moment it is only the low E-string that detunes to a higher tone. The others stay intune.

  • @Aristotelezz Sounds like your Spring tension is greater than your String tension, often the result of changing to lighter gauge strings. Go to the springs on the back of the guitar, and loosen the two screws that hold the "spring claw" to the body....loosen them equally with each other, and observe the "float" of the bridge plate on the top of the guitar....if your spring tension is matched to your strings, your bridge should be about parallel with the top of the guitar (or with the strings.)
