How to refloat a floyd.
How to refloat a floyd.
You're not wrong!The best way and easiest way to tune a floyd........block it so it only dives!??
Plus if you want to install a d-tuna, you need to block so it dives only.
But if you like pulling up and all those Vai tricks.......then ..........
Yeah but if you're close to being in tube with bridge angeled upwards then lock it, when you adjust claw screws to level the bridge, it will be out of tune again.All you really need to know is that a floating bridge works by balancing the tension of the strings against the springs. If you get to where you're close to being in tune and the bridge is angled upwards, it means you need to screw the spring claw into the guitar body further, thus pulling the strings. Rinse and repeat until the bridge is level. In these posts, you never mention the spring claw, so I assume this is the part you're missing. If you change tunings and/or string gauge, you're effectively changing the string tension, so you have to compensate by adjusting the spring tension too.
Don't lock it until it's level and in tune. If the bridge is angled upwards and it's in tune, that means the springs need more tension. So screw them in a little, then detune (from the headstock). Keep doing that until it stabilizes. Lock only when it's level/in tune or close enough to where you can finish it off with the fine tuners.Yeah but if you're close to being in tube with bridge angeled upwards then lock it, when you adjust claw screws to level the bridge, it will be out of tune again.
Get in the habit of always using the same tuning and string gauge (I'd even recommend going one step further and using the exact same brand of strings) on your Floyd Rose (or any sort of floating tremolo) equipped guitars.
You'll save yourself from a lot of fucking around
