SteveStrummerUK Posted April 25, 2021 Posted April 25, 2021 I'm about to restring my Floyd Rose ESP with a different gauge of strings ? No doubt copious sweating, swearing and farting will now ensue.
SteveStrummerUK Posted April 25, 2021 Author Posted April 25, 2021 We are restringed ? Now to spend another plentitude of hours to re-tension the springs and get the bloody thang back in tune ?

craigb Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 In times like this, I've found a proper beer helps. (Please note that I didn't say it would resolve the issue! ?) 1
Byron Dickens Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 I found I have a much easier time restringing a Floyd doing one string at a time. 1

I did it that way Byron, but I swapped the three bottom strings from 54/42/32 to 46/36/24. Such a difference in string tension meant relaxing the FR springs quite a bit.
Byron Dickens Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Oh.... I see..... My condolences and prayers for a speedy recovery. 2
SteveStrummerUK Posted May 19, 2021 Author Posted May 19, 2021 I've even calculated (and accounted for) how many cents each string goes slightly sharp when screwing down the locking nut ✔️ By the time I've got the bloody thing to stay in tune it'll be time for another restring ? 1 1
