Floyd’s how do you do yours ?
Hi all
Had to change strings on my new Washburn that popped up today
Up until tonight I always approached a restring on a Floyd by doing it one string at a time
No majors but took a while
So I changed tack and did the whole lot at once
Loaded them all in the bridge and then strung them up
It seemed quicker and less stress ect
I just like to say I fucking Love Floyd Roses and to me outclass the Ibanez Bridges
What you say ?......

I take all the strings off. Then I can clean the fretboard at the same time

It’s intonating them that irks me.

You can change the strings?
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Elixirs so you don't have to change them often, and always one string at a time

I did mine all at once, was easy, I block the trem with a small piece of wood to make it even easier. Intonation only needs to be done once unless you change string brands/gauges a lot.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Re: Floyd’s how do you do yours ?
My less hassle way of dealing with this issue is to list the strings on trademe. Along with the bridge and guitar. And a case if possible.
Seems less hassle than changing them.

They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

I just imagined both of you holding hands listening to "fly my pretties" while thinking: "so many tellies"
