How To Tune an Original Floyd Rose - Part 1 SIMPLIFIED

WEBSITE:

http://www.floydrose.com/originaltremolo.html

I recently bought a Schecter Synyster Gates Custom guitar. It's an amazing guitar, but there's one problem.

It's a pain to tune [or so I thought] because of the Floyd Rose tremolo locking system. I looked on the website but it just seemed way too confusing. After quite a bit of frustration and yelling, I finally learned how to, and I thought I'd share it with you.

This is PART 1, the theory side of it. I try to explain to the best of my abilities in hopes that you can better understand how it works.

PART 2 is COMING SOON.

Till then, cheers!

If anyone wants to know what type of guitar this is, its a 'Synyster gates custom schecter' :)

[BandSniipeZ]

my bridge is odd, at the low E string my bridge is kinda flush but at the high E it 0.5 cm from the body. an the screws are equally locked, I've tried to screw them differently but there's no difference.

I have 3 springs on under the backplate if that helps...

Please help me!

@Dimeist

if the Floyd is to high up you loosen the springs at the back if it is low you tighten them

Hope that helps

@punk434 ok the problem is that you have your guitar tuned to standard

and well your locking the nuts down and well its making it flat note soo its best to tune up a tiny bit sharper then lock the nut and always make shure your bridge is flush with the body like == and keep your fine tuners in the middle of their travel because you might need to adjust.
