SteveStrummerUK Posted April 25, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted April 26, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I found I have a much easier time restringing a Floyd doing one string at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

SteveStrummerUK Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
