Great vid, I would like to add a little tuning tip. By tuning the strings in this order it balances the tension and I find I can tune faster. The order is E-e-b-a-g-d, repeat that order each time you re-tune and presto. Hope you find this helpful. Cheers
Good tip. I start on the middle two strings to work outward and go half the distance on the tuner past the opposite way of in tune until I get to the E strings. See the Doug Marks tuning video) Saves some of the teeter tawtering (spelling?) later on.
I haven’t owned a Floyd Rose in years, and just bought an EVH Wolfgang. I decided to search up changing strings to be knowledgeable. This video was great!!!
Awesome man! I'll tell ya, the easiest way is to keep the same string gage and do one at a time. If you don't drop tune it'll just go back to the same tension and setup.
I have watched lots of videos trying to figure out how to tune my Floyd Rose and set tremolo because mine was so messed up. This is by far the most detailed information. Thank you so much.
I’ve known how to restring a Floyd for years (First guitar was a Kirk Hammett signature) but I can’t help but click on your videos. Great stuff as always!
Dang Marty... You just solved one of the greatest mysteries of my life! I used to get so frustrated with this process that I always took my stuff to Turner to set it before he passed away. Next time I get a guitar with a good Floyd set up I'll know what to do. Thank you brother! 👍
Great work. I scoured TH-cam. There's not a single video on the whole platform on how to string a Floyd Rose. It's about time somebody got this information out there.
Me personally after playing with a Floyd equipped guitar. I don't want to play my other non Floyd guitars now. 😁 Something that I definitely look at when getting a new guitar.
I just bought an Ibanez with a Floyd Rose - my first Floyd Rose. I have now watched a dozen and a half You Tube vids on how to set up a FR. This vid was the one I saved. I will refer to it, no doubt, several times.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Yeah I have never changed String Sizes on any Floyd Rose Locking System... I take a scared cat approach Leave the 2 E Strings on Start one String at a time in the middle working outward... Work's.. But this is nice now I feel confident in changing string gauges... Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸
Gotta give you credit man, I stopped and listened to your little opening channel jingle, and to my ear it sounds really well mixed, from EQ to volume and separation. Good stuff! It's a skill. In my experience, Floyds are pretty easy. Most people never stop to try and understanbd the physics of what's going on, and also there is natural string stretch. Even without a Floyd, your strings don't settle properly until the next day, and this is what frustrates most people I think. Patience is the key. I have a Floyd on a couple of my guitars and I regurlarly strip the strings off and restring them from scratch. Never at the same time ;) Once they are stable, they stay that way. About 24 hrs.
when i worked at ibanez (hoshino usa), if the guitar is already set up , you can , relativly quickly change out the strings by doing them one at a time, in other words, leave the rest of the strings alone and only take off one at a time, when one string is done , move onto the next, next tip, bloc the trem with whatever you have on hand that will make that base plate level to thw guitar fret board, , crank on the springs till the block is held in place from tention alone , now string the guitar and tune it to whatever floats your boat, but the spring tention has to be enough to hold the blocker in place, when you are happy with the tuning, start releasing tention on the springs till the blocker just falls out, you now have an in tune floating tremolo, i hope that made sense, because after i was shown that by jim donahue , i never again had a problem with a floyd rose system, yes it works for all the different lisenced floyd systems
Great vid, Marty - as always! I'm watching this late - as a refresher. I'm going to change the strings on one of my Frankenstrat builds that I have done. I've done 3 of them. Got one that needs some strings. So going to do that this evening. Just watching this for good measure - and so I get it right. Your vids are the best! I can't see crap either without my readers! LOL Also a Child of the 80s! OK - Rock on Bro! Hope all is well in your World.
I do it the exact same way…I highly recommend putting a drop of gun oil on all the threaded screws and the knife edges…keeps everything nice and smooth…awesome job Marty👍
Excellent video Marty! Your advice at 12:30 saved me. I'm new to Floyd Rose trems and I broke a string down at the bridge. I was going to replace it but with your advice I can still use the broken string.
I put the ball end through the tuners and cut the end of the string with about 1" of slack and lock that in the saddle. It won't work with heavy gauge strings (doesn't fit through tuner hole) but I use 8's.
very informative vid, thanks, I am about to have a go at my first one tonight, got a guitar off FB marketplace cheep that needs some work, looks like its missing the locking nut covers and the whammy bar, but hopefully will be able to source from amazon
such valid information. your gonna mess up. its ok to mess up, that's how you learn!!! I tell that to people all the time, especially the nube's or timid or not technical people, who are used to tinkering!!
Thanks for the How-To Marty. The first one i did was in 89 or so, friend had a Kramer wih one and jut couldn't figure ot out. I dove in head first and got it done but i recall it being a chore to get it tuned. Took forever. He thought i rooked his guitar for good. No faith whatsoever.
I was only saying what I like to use in comparison it leaves the screws open for easier adjustment like you said there's more than one way to skin a cat
Thank you! It's not too bad once you do it several times. I think the biggest hang up for folks is when the tuning starts. You have to get the strings all to relative pitch first and then make slight adjustments.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalkerI’m glad I found this video, I play Floyd’s at GC as part of my search for a good guitar with good vibes for my playing. I can count with one hand the number of FR guitars I have played that are properly tuned.
yeah, the 1st time i did it with my terrible eyesight i was in panic mode when the bridge fell into the pocket im ok at it now, i try do a full set up every three months or so and give the frets a good polish with some fret rubbers and some chrome cleaner etc. super videos marty ! thanks for makin them for us mere mortals ! im hankering for a frankie now !!! just so i dont have to retune to standard ! @@Ranch5150SkinWalker
I just bought an HB Guitar MAX signature Floyd Rose 1000 equipped guitar as well, and have been thinking of changing the strings on it but didn't know how, as i heard it was a bit of a pig to do. Now i do. I actually feel smarter after watching this video, thanks man
15:07 Marty, buzzzzzer, you should thread the string cut end first through the tuners on the headstock with the ball end at the tuner, put at least 3 string winds, cut excess at the bridge and insert into the saddle block....tada, now if it breaks at the saddle , you simply unwind the string a bit and re-clamp in the bridge. Also, the string will never slip at the tuners now :)
I've had a Floyd equipped guitar for 19 years. It was my first guitar (not recommended, first string change was done in the shop as 12yo me failed...). I knew pretty much none of this. For instance I have necer cut the end off the string. I just opened tje saddle all the way so it fit in... I didn't know you were supposed to tune it from the back, I always unlocked the nut. And it's the only guitar I never did a full setup on, which at this point I do constantly. It just got warm, all my necks aren't at the correct relief anymore.... Haven't played it in years (Ibanez RG) now I want to refinish the guitar, and remove the EMGs I put in at 14. So I figured maybe I should finally look into how a FR is supposed to be used... thanks! Should have done that 20 years ago.
If you run the string down through the tuner and bolt in the already cut end, then you can cut the eyelet end off with some string length and you have 6 different gauge wires for poking out different size tiny holes on things like carburetors. Nice vid.
Just got a FR and am doing some research before I change strings for the first time. This video is the most helpful Ive seen! You didnt skip over any important parts and described everything well... awesome job man! Two questions: 1) Ben Eller on his channel recommends getting the bridge flat, blocking the trem from moving in either direction, getting strings up to tune, stretch them, etc., then lock the nuts, remove the blocks, and use ONLY the claw screws to get the bridge back to level and strings will automatically get back in tune. Does that make sense to you? 2) I'm changing from 9s to 10/9 hybrids like you did. If heavier strings makes the whammy bar seem more "stiff," can I safely remove one of the three springs? Or is that going to screw everything up? At what point would it make sense to do that?
Nice guitar.. I kinda do it the same except once I'm close I back out the claw screws a turn or two then block something in the back that sets the float. then u can tune and intonation with it blocked then tighten the claw screws until the strings go back in tune which is just about where the block in the back falls out.. it sounds confusing but it eliminates all the chasing and guesswork.. im basically putting it perfectly in tune with the perfect float without chasing, locking the nut, then it's just a matter of retightening the claw screws til everything falls perfectly back in place. Once I learned how which took about 15 years due to nobody teaching that way, I fell in love with floyds.. it's all I play now. I'm not saying your way is wrong but I feel it's still letting alot of room for beginners to get frustrated by the chase and give up on floyd roses alltogether. Cheers
Interesting video Marty. I am too clumsy with my hands to do intrigue work like that. I would make a dogs dinner of it 😅. So I would just leave it down to my local tech guy. That's a really pretty fm finish on that Jackson 😍
I liked this video before I even watched it cus I really wanted to hear how Marty explained this. I got a floating tremelo on a Charvel DK24 and it's a pain in the butt
In theory, should the bass and treble sides of the Floyd bridge plate the the same height in relation to the top of the guitar body? My action seems high on the treble side, but the B and E strings buzz when I play frets 1-14.
Thanks for the video Marty, would love to see more tech videos man! Luckily I already knew how to do this, but I'm definitely not a pro like you said about many ways to skin a cat. Lol😂 I have a question for you if I can? Should I buy titanium saddle blocks? So many people say that they're better than the OEM blocks on an EVH for example and or Floyd 1,000... What are your thoughts and experiences with them if any? Thanks Marty.
Yeh man, the titanium is much better... but dude I've had 1000's for a long time and have not had any issues. Upgrades are always a good idea but sometimes can be a little excessive based on the need.
If I'm in a hurry, I change one string at a time, no need to block. I also feed the string through the tuning peg and use the brass ball as an anchor so I'm not winding for days.
The right video at the right moment: just bought a new (used) guitar with floyd rose. Marty what is your opinion about Elixir strings? The guitar arrived today with Elixir strings : usually I use Ernie Ball but these strings seem excellent. Thanks for the video!
You're welcome man! Glad to help! I Elixir strings are very good. They last a long time. I am personally an Ernie Ball 9 or D'addario NYXL player but really... they're all great options. Ernie Ball are 6.99 so they are usually my go to. lol. And they never break on me 😎🤟🏻

It may be catching on the mounting screws ... make sure it's stable and the bladed edge is flush and secure with the screws that hold it in place. Stretch strings and make sure locking nut is locked down. Also check to make sure the saddles are tight and not moving.
