![]() Thread the other end of the string under its nut clamp and under the string hold down bar, then to the tuning key and tune the string. Place the freshly cut string end into the center of the saddle and tighten the clamping screw until it is difficult to turn. Set the fine-tuners on the bridge to the middle of there tuning range.Ĭhange one string at a time (starting at either E string) by first loosening the string and unclamping it at the saddle with the 3mm allen wrench.Ĭut the ball end off the replacement string with a pair of wire cutters. Unlock the three clamps at the nut with the 3mm allen wrench provided with the guitar or bridge. If your fine tuners run out of range you must repeat steps 1 through 7.FLOYD ROSE ORIGINAL TREMOLO - STRING CHANGING INSTRUCTIONS ![]() This adjustment will slightly change your tuning. If your action is to high or to low, adjust the action with the two rocker screws (bridge pivot screws) using the 3mm Allen wrench. When tuning is complete, check the action of the strings off the neck. When the bridge is sitting parallel to the face of the guitar and the strings are tuned to the desired pitch, re-clamp the three nut clamps and re-tune (if necessary) once again using only the fine tuners. If the base plate is tilted back toward the body, you must loosen the tremolo springs tension by turning the spring claw screws counterclockwise and repeat step 4. If the base plate is tilted forward away from the body, you must tighten the tremolo springs tension by turning the spring claw screws clockwise and repeat step 4. When the strings are at the desired pitch, check to see if the bridge base plate is sitting parallel with the top surface of the guitar. ![]() Repeat step 4 until all the strings are at the desired pitch. You must tune the strings a little sharp or flat to get to your tuning because every time you change the tension (or pitch) of one string, the other strings change pitch in the opposite direction. If the low ‘E’ is sharp, re-tune as just described only tuning the first five strings a little flat. If the low ‘E’ is now flat, re-tune the strings starting again with the low ‘E’ but this time tune the E, A, D, G, and B strings a little bit sharp, then the high ‘E’ to pitch. ![]() When you have finished tuning all of the strings, check the tuning on the low ‘E’ again. Tune the strings to your desired pitch (this can be drop tuning, open tuning, or standard pitch, the procedure is the same for any tuning) with an electronic tuner starting with the low ‘E’. Set your fine tuner screws on the bridge to the middle of their adjustment range. ![]() Loosen the three string clamps at the nut ![]()
