The EASIEST Way to Restring Your Floyd Rose - Full Tutorial

Changing the strings on your Floyd Rose doesn't need to be a pain in the a$s. Stop submitting yourself to the torture of retuning 100 times untill the thing is right or changing one string at a time. With this simple method you'll learn how to put a new set of strings almost as easy as on a hard tail guitar by just following a couple of easy steps.

Hope you enjoy it!!

NOTE: Some of you may notice that this is a reupload. I wasn't happy with the previous version so I fired the editor, changed music, cut some irrelevant parts, a few small changes here and there and reduced the duration more than 2 minutes. Hopefully this new version will be more enjoyable and easy to watch than the previous one.

I got my first Floyd Rose guitar recently and for the last days, I lost my mind trying to get it in tune again. Your video is the first to actually help me! Now I restrung my Floyd rose guitar for the first time and everything works. So proud of myself :D Thank you so much for the video :)

Of course I would find this video AFTER fighting with my Ibanez floating bridge for two hours last night. You're a hero.

I know nothing abt floyds. But bought a secondhand guitar with one. i disassembled the floyd, clean them, put new springs, followed ur steps n it worked !! (took me 5 hours but it was worth it)

[grzgenc]

Freaking rad!! Just tried this as I was terrified to swap strings and clean my guitar and it worked perfect!!!❤ thank you so much!!

To each their own, but owning and working on FR double locking systems for over 40 years, reverse is the way to go. I get some people being OCD on aesthetics, but the time is wasted cutting both ends. The string does not always break at the saddle, and wound strings will unwind possibly farther than recovery at the post/s. Unwound strings will already be under stress from compression from pre-stretching and use of the trem just as the wound ones and the pressure from the nut lock will crimp the string affected causing another stress break point that WILL, cause another break. Everything else about this tutorial is bang on and I've always done it this way, but don't rely on the double snip/3 winds around the post method. especially in a live situation. Always bring a backup guitar and an extra set of strings (Don't forget the tools and tuner either).

This is so cool! I will be trying this out when I restring my guitar later. Thanks for sharing!

[dwyn]

Yes, preferably clean! Also, this is mad genius! You've saved me a LOT of time and pain and heartache!!!

[garryross]

If you put the string in the other way around you don't need to cut the ball end off, and as a bonus, you can use it to pull the string through the neck retainer bar when it gets stuck

[korat]

Everything worked perfectly only problem is that I can only like this video once. Thanks for this amazing video

[Dan-tigt]

This is an amazing tip, thank you for sharing it. I just changed my strings and it was quick and worked perfectly.

[quicksesh]

great tutorial as a floating bridge is always a thing that strikes terror into most people.

[thomasdeckard]

Your videos about Floyd Roses are the best ! I wish I knew all of this 10 years ago when I got my first guitar which had a floating bridge :P
All you could find at the time were guys telling you to tune the strings in a weird order (and the order was never the same from video to video haha. It makes so much sense to do it the way you showed, I just never knew that the strings stayed in tune relative to each other even when the spring tension changes

[PANTYCELYN]

Thanks for this video. It worked flawlessly on my DK2S FR 1000.

[TheRockinDonkey]

I personally like to use the eraser, but this is really a solid way to set up any floating trem. Great job.

[pytheus]

Thank you!! I've only adjusted with the screws holding the claw until afterwards in leveling apparatus, and its always been a big headache for me!! Anything to reduce the hassle factor is worth a try!

[NealVan]

Excellent method! Years on the local road and not one tech or myself knew this exact method. I’m glad a watched and learned.

[lemansconvert]

Nice video. If you look at Ed’s franky, this is what the surface mounted quarter was for. He’d usually have only one screw mounted, then he’d (or his tech) would slide it under the edge of the Floyd.

[abell]

Wow - great tip at the end! (Re tuning the E)

[istillsuckatguitar]

Good stuff. Changing strings this afternoon. Thanks.

[wesleyjones]

Thanks for this im paying off my first Floyd rose guitar and the setup part was scaring me a little bit but dude do yourself a favor and by a string winder
