Hey Ola. Just wondering if you have tried leaving the ends of the strings on, at the headstock end? I do this with all my guitars, and have not had a failure yet. Saves a bit of time, and leaves no pointy bits of string poking out to bite you :D
@@Gornflyin dude I was just about to comment this. That’s how I’ve always done my strings with non locking tuning heads. Been doing that for over 20yrs works great.
A little over three years I came across one of your videos and it inspired me to play guitar and for the past couple of months I’ve been unmotivated to play but last night I came across one of your videos and it made me realize why I started playing and now all I want to do is play guitar your guitar playing is so inspiring and thankyou for doing these videos you’re amazing man
If English isn't your 1st language then I'm impressed, I'm Canadian and I couldn't tell, I've been to university and college and you slipped past me undetected LOL.
I imagen your sons and grandchildren all reunited in like five decades, all watching your videos and remembering what a great dude you are. Inspiring, down to earth and pretty talented. Best vibes from Mexico bro.
Absolutely love this guitar. Really love your clear love for you dime guitars Ola! Gutted, had to sell all my guitars because it the after effects of the pandemic and having to make sure the kids were ok as my disability makes it impossible for me to go out to work, hoping and praying that one day when can save up and spare the money that I can buy an STpro, absolutely beautiful!, please guys never take your guitars for granted! You never know what’s around the corner!! Big love everyone, awesome video as always Ola!
if this was me setting up a floyd rose guitar, it would have been about 3 hours long with one of those hours being solely dedicated to me crying and raging.
Man, I can't lie - I get hella jealous watching these sometimes lol. I've got two guitars... one RG that I love but desperately needs new pups & a decent Floyd (it's a $400-range guitar with crap original hardware). The other is my old starter guitar which is a very cheap RG clone. I've done some minor upgrades to that one, but it has some serious tuning-stability & intonation issues. It's the one I play most because the Dragonfire pups actually sound pretty good, but the constant tuning is a real pain, especially when recording. It took me almost 3 years to save up for the RG and eventually I'll upgrade it and have a decent axe, but medical bills... ugh I've never said anything publicly before, but I'm on disability and music is my therapy. It has quite literally saved my life. Getting lost in writing music helps me deal with the terrible chronic pain. If anyone knows of any organizations or programs that would help someone in my position please feel free to leave me a comment. I'd be eternally grateful! ✌️❤️🎵
Thanks for recognizing that wood moves and that tuners need to be tightened every now and then. Also - props on pointing out that string windings sometime break off and foul the locking block on the whammy. Excellent vid, Ola!
Love that guitar, to be honest its my favorite guitar on your wall. Trying to find a red Washburn like that is nearly impossible and the prices are insane! Thanks for the upload!
My bad. that's a solid route. I thought there was a pad glued in the route guys. But that was a different model. The shallow route was on the ST Pro. The padding was not on the Washburn but the Dean. Don't quote me on that. Ether it was an option or installed at the factory..
I feel ya with the tall old man bending over pain. Pressure washed my driveway yesterday for like 2 hours before I realized I was hunched over. Today is pain.
Hello Ola. To clean the fretboard also you can use olive oil. It's a natural moisturizing and antioxidant oil for wood, seriously. And if it is a spanish extra olive oil, it would be better 😉
Lol I love Olas ramblings. I was so excited when i got my first guitar with a Floyd. But I didn't know anything about it so when I changed the strings I took them all off and I didn't block the bridge the way ola did. I quickly learned they're a pain in the butt and not worth the occasional dive bomb. The 2 guitars I have now are string through.
I'm one of the few who enjoys setting up a Floyd. My first guitar had a Floyd and I remember paying 60 bucks each time I wanted to change the strings and have it set up for me in different tunings. Now I'm the one who charges for a setup, but I don't rip off any of my people who ask for help.
I got one about 2 months ago. And I’ve been wanting Ola to do a My Guitar session on his. Glad it happened. These guitars are so sick! Pairs well with my Randalls and looks nice next to my Funky Munky Black Bolt. 😉
Intonation on a Floyd Rose _is_ a nightmare - and I say this as someone who loves his Floyd Rose'd guitars! Loosen the string all the way, loosen the screw in front of the saddle, adjust with extreme precision, tighten the screw while keeping the saddle in place, tune up the string, tune the other strings as well while trying to rebalance the bridge, check the intonation... and if you're off, rinse and repeat! Even a Fender style bridge is easier to intonate! But of course a Floyd Rose has its own benefits, so yeah :P Sounds killer, as expected! Though, hearing a Dime guitar in anything other than 425 just doesn't sound right O:) Cowboys is actually 20 cents flat, at least on the original release. Though I have a hunch that even so, the whole album was actually sped up after recording, cus it all sounds... shrill or something. Like, put any Cowboys song into your DAW and put the playback rate at 0.977, and suddenly it sounds proper, at least to my ears (except for the title track cus it has a weird guitar tone lol). Y'all should watch Norsemen (Vikingane in Norwegian) if you haven't. It's an experience for sure lol
Super nice guitar. Amazing to see what they go for nowadays. Nice job on the set up. I love Floyd bridges despite the difficulties they present sometimes. I swap out the trem arm for a drop in one and upgrade the springs to the noiseless ones. Sounds good!
Funnily enough, I just picked up a $1200 MSRP Dean ML Import that has Duncans & a V-shaped neck - the v-neck is my favorite part of the guitar tbh, so comfy
@@masaharumorimoto4761 it’s their brazillia burst over a quilt maple top of some sort - but much more a bright orange to black burst than the browner ones out there
FR bridges are a pain, one tip I got from a mate was to cut the sting at the ball end with some of the wrapping on and put that in the clamp, works great especially for the 9 gauge
Schaller make the OFR, their "licensed" bridges use the same saddles and string blocks as a true Floyd. It's very good quality stuff, especially for mass produced parts.
Would love to see you testing the PRS CE24 Dustie Waring Floyd - kinda seems interesting cuz its an unusual PRS Metal Axe with different neck profile, non PRS pickups and Floyd!
Hi Ola Great vid stunning guitar bro Iv got a Washburn usa D3 customshop Blackjack but with black binding on the neck Iv now had it 21 yrs bought it from Eric McKenna from Washburn customshop in Chicago Just love all your vids Keep Rocking buddy \m/
I was afraid of overtightening the strings on one of my floyds because people always says that overtightening the block could break it, but I used finger strength to tighten it only for the string almost whipping my face when i tuned it. So you gotta put in a bit more than finger strenght when tightening the string in the hole. the string was also pefectly inside the hole before I tightened it. I guess its just one of the fears of a floyd owner.
More awesome info, thanks dude, My 1st guitar is in the mail on the way to me and I've been learning for months, still finding little tips like this that will help!!
Cannot figure out why they cast these "Floyd Rose". Machine CNC to you wildest dream? Perfect tolerance. QA and I like Kehler Tremolo systems. Buy the new gear, it is kick ass. Picked up some new Jacksons. I need Solar to complete my collection. This video kicks ass!
High quality car wax polish for the body is the best, I guarantee it - (not the swirl remover stuff, that's just a swirl creator) I had an old Gibson Les Paul Studio that was beat to hell that I decided to use as a guinea pig for cleaning products. The car wax made it look like brand new I kid you not. Pick scratches and everything (except the deep dents of course) completely gone. Love the channel Ola 👍 P.S Floyd Roses do my head in, but once they're dialed in you can get so much out of them. Worth the effort. Sometimes😜
I intonate each string individually, around the tuned area.... I don't worry about "overall tuning" when setting string length. So... I'm not sure why.. the floating bridge would be that much of a problem. One of my guitars has a floating bridge... I did intonate it, and it wasn't a big deal. So I'm wondering about that.
This was a fun one! Love this guitar!
A lot of shit talk going on in this video.
Aah ! You dont like to bend like a lil b**** like us

Always love these guitar vault vids! Especially the solar prototypes.

Thuis is my dream Guitar. I have been searching for it for 3 years and am still busy finding it. Keep on shredding man!!
if this was me setting up a floyd rose guitar, it would have been about 3 hours long with one of those hours being solely dedicated to me crying and raging.
Man, I love your channel! Never was so entertained watching someone taking care of one of his guitars! Thank you for another great video!
What a gorgeous guitar! Wow! I wish Washburn would make this guitar again.
cleaning and adjusting and just giving your guitar some love is really therapeutic and relaxing and it seems watching Ola doing it is aswell
feel like the prices will never go down
Bloody love these guitar episodes!

That's a badass guitar Ola Rock on man 🤘
Always loved your vids and another legendary one R.I.P DIMEBAG
Washburns were made in my home state of Illinois, back in the day. I’ve played a lot of them over the years.
Thanks for recognizing that wood moves and that tuners need to be tightened every now and then. Also - props on pointing out that string windings sometime break off and foul the locking block on the whammy. Excellent vid, Ola!

Love the way you talk about your guitars man
Absolutely, Gorgeous Guitar. I had one in the early 2000's and I regret selling it. Thanks for showing it Ola.
My bad. that's a solid route. I thought there was a pad glued in the route guys. But that was a different model. The shallow route was on the ST Pro. The padding was not on the Washburn but the Dean. Don't quote me on that. Ether it was an option or installed at the factory..
Love the gnarly Dime tone, dude.
Nickle silver frets turn green with humidity. My vintage JS does it if you leave it in the case
That is one amazingly nice looking guitar Mr. E....great video, I never tire of watching these.
Honestly the string popping out made my day🤣🤣
"That's just how it is. It's a guitar, man."
The whole universe in one sentence
What a beautiful imported, Ola. Stuning.
This is great! Useful info I'm going to use when I give my Kramer some TLC next time.
Sick orbit culture t shirt. Best metal band out rn
AWESOME AXE OLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT METAL PLAYING AS USUAL!!!!! ROCK ON.....💯💯💯💥💥💥💥💯💯💯
What’s good Ola! That’s one beautiful Mutha Truckin Guitar man! I love it!
really dig the high production on this, gave me a different feel.. real calming! Real syk guitar man, keep up the good work
Thanks for reminding me every once in a while how much and why i hate floyd roses. Except that, the guitar looks awesome!
The sickest🤘🤘🤘
Of course, there is a tool to lock a FR in place.
I always kept a 1x4 Lego brick for that purpose. Fits perfectly from the back, between the springs.
Nice shirt Ola. Love your content 🤘🤘
That color is a cherry red sunburst. I have a Gibson Lespaul bass guitar that's from 1996 with that same exact finish. It's a beautiful finish.🤘
I feel ya with the tall old man bending over pain. Pressure washed my driveway yesterday for like 2 hours before I realized I was hunched over. Today is pain.
Good to see you!
Hello Ola. To clean the fretboard also you can use olive oil. It's a natural moisturizing and antioxidant oil for wood, seriously.
And if it is a spanish extra olive oil, it would be better 😉
One of my favorite guitars of his, the color is just spectacular!!
It's a beauty!
I'm a sucker for Cherry Burst.

Great to see you wearing an Orbit Culture shirt 🤘🏻
👏 killer guitar man. I still don't have one 👏 but I think very soon 👏 I'll finally spring for one 👏
That clean tone is killer!
Started playing Pantera after watching this…. Gotta tighten it up and have very smooth transitions
I got one about 2 months ago. And I’ve been wanting Ola to do a My Guitar session on his. Glad it happened.
These guitars are so sick! Pairs well with my Randalls and looks nice next to my Funky Munky Black Bolt. 😉
Orbit culture tshirt is class. Would love a coffee with Ola with Niklas Karlsson.

Sounds killer, as expected! Though, hearing a Dime guitar in anything other than 425 just doesn't sound right O:)
Cowboys is actually 20 cents flat, at least on the original release. Though I have a hunch that even so, the whole album was actually sped up after recording, cus it all sounds... shrill or something. Like, put any Cowboys song into your DAW and put the playback rate at 0.977, and suddenly it sounds proper, at least to my ears (except for the title track cus it has a weird guitar tone lol).
Y'all should watch Norsemen (Vikingane in Norwegian) if you haven't. It's an experience for sure lol
I mean, they make the intonation tool for a reason!
my dream guitar is a 95 washburn d3 dimebolt so i really hope he is right and they start going down soon
Your killing me man I've been looking for one for a long time now
Absolutely beautiful guitar and it sounds incredible
Super nice guitar. Amazing to see what they go for nowadays. Nice job on the set up. I love Floyd bridges despite the difficulties they present sometimes. I swap out the trem arm for a drop in one and upgrade the springs to the noiseless ones. Sounds good!
love that color on that guitar!
Cool video Ola
Funnily enough, I just picked up a $1200 MSRP Dean ML Import that has Duncans & a V-shaped neck - the v-neck is my favorite part of the guitar tbh, so comfy
Nice! What paint job does it have? I'm lefty and they only make black ML, so I might have to paint my own!
@@masaharumorimoto4761 it’s their brazillia burst over a quilt maple top of some sort - but much more a bright orange to black burst than the browner ones out there
Beautiful paint job.
FR bridges are a pain, one tip I got from a mate was to cut the sting at the ball end with some of the wrapping on and put that in the clamp, works great especially for the 9 gauge
I’m definitely not a fan of pointy guitars but she’s beautiful love the color and veneer !
Schaller make the OFR, their "licensed" bridges use the same saddles and string blocks as a true Floyd. It's very good quality stuff, especially for mass produced parts.
Would love to see you testing the PRS CE24 Dustie Waring Floyd - kinda seems interesting cuz its an unusual PRS Metal Axe with different neck profile, non PRS pickups and Floyd!
super cool vid and guitar !! thanks Ola !!! and no "jts" this time, just to mention ;)
Nice. I called this in the last My Guitar video I believe. :)
Its a piece of art. Gorgeous.
Kick ass lookin axe ... sounds really good too... love it
Hi Ola
Great vid stunning guitar bro
Iv got a
Washburn usa D3 customshop Blackjack but with black binding on the neck
Iv now had it 21 yrs bought it from Eric McKenna from Washburn customshop in Chicago
Just love all your vids
Keep Rocking buddy
\m/
Beautiful guitar. My next dime guitar purchase will be a dean dime slime stealth.
I love pulling out a guitar and setting it up, especially if it actually sounds better! Ha, reminds me I'm getting better at setups.
I really enjoy these vids
I have a dean razorback thanks for giving some tips on Floyd Rose.
Thank-you Sir! 🇺🇸
Awesome !!! great dime bag tribute bro. !!!
Love these style of guitars
This was awesome!
Always wondered what the Vikings theme song lyrics were. Thanks!
5:32 ..it was D standard in 425Hz with low octave G
You need a Shredneck trem block! I have a Dean Stealh with a blood red flame top! COOL GUITAR!
All Hail Dime!!
Tip for floyds: remove the blocks completely and use the string balls to tighten them.
Thanks Ola!
Such a pretty guitar...luv it
What kind of tuning?! Bus-what?! How do you spell that so I can look up more details?! I’m intrigued.
My favorite of yours 🤘🤘🤘
I was afraid of overtightening the strings on one of my floyds because people always says that overtightening the block could break it, but I used finger strength to tighten it only for the string almost whipping my face when i tuned it.

Takes quite a force to break those,. Source: happened to me once
9:17 It just a little Dime Slime
Have to be careful with the little blocks and over tightening. They crack pretty easy. That is a nice looking Gee-Tar.
Cannot figure out why they cast these "Floyd Rose". Machine CNC to you wildest dream? Perfect tolerance. QA and I like Kehler Tremolo systems. Buy the new gear, it is kick ass. Picked up some new Jacksons. I need Solar to complete my collection. This video kicks ass!
Killer video Ola sweet ass Dimebag guitar.

Love the channel Ola 👍
P.S Floyd Roses do my head in, but once they're dialed in you can get so much out of them. Worth the effort. Sometimes😜
Be careful with that because if it has silicon in it making repairs in the future will be insanely hard.
I intonate each string individually, around the tuned area.... I don't worry about "overall tuning" when setting string length. So... I'm not sure why.. the floating bridge would be that much of a problem. One of my guitars has a floating bridge... I did intonate it, and it wasn't a big deal. So I'm wondering about that.
I always use the ball end at the tuning peg to make them act like locking tuners. Makes string changes a snap.
Love it.
The things I would do for that axe. I can’t even afford a pack of strings right now though so I’m not going to torture myself with your video. 😩
Nice one! I cant imagine how long you spent tuning and intonating off camera, that was probably a big PITA.
When u was playing this love, i was thinking on doom's waiting for romero to play, and when u say doom i was like "😳😳"
Love these vids
love that st pro.
you should check out crimson guitars products for cleaning and conditioning , fantastic products
Need more Ola cleans guitars and plays them videos!
