5 Things You Didn't Know About the Floyd Rose Tremolo

UPDATE: Subsequent to the making of this video, Floyd Rose has changed the radius of their R3 and L3 nuts to 10". It is no longer 12", as indicated in the video. So make that..... FOUR Things You Didn't Know About the Floyd Rose Tremolo. :)

Tell your bosses that this is the best thing they can possibly do to market their products, and it puts a "face" or personal spin on Warmoth as a brand. Love it!

Another fun floyd trick... if you break a string at the saddle you can always take a wrap or two off the tuning post and reinsert the string. Will usually get you to the end of the set when you can address any issues.

I never understood the "it's hard to change strings on a Floyd Rose" line. It's actually super easy and the time you spend cutting off a ball end and loosening and then tightening the locking nut is worth it because no matter how good your non-double locking trem system is at staying in tune the Floyd Rose stays in tune better.

How about a video about all the different strat trem options like 2-point, vintage, wilkinson recessed etc.

@03:55 Absolutely! Both of my Jacksons have an OFR, and I've had to toothpick-tip the wood screws twice on the Soloist and once on the Dinky. Nuts should be installed with screws from underneath a la Kramer always did in the 80s.

This is an old video, but I found it extremely informative! He just explained a tuning issue I’ve had for years! And I have my own repair shop! Now I have work to do. Thx

If you string a Floyd 1 string at a time, thick to thin, and tune it as you go, there will be no issues with the bridge moving up up down. Perfect for first time owners.

Aaron, making these videos was absolutely vital as people don't have to guess anymore what all the different exotic wood species will sound like. Try to make videos of as many wood combinations as possible. Many thanks

I've been gathering part for three months now, and tomorrow I finally get to put my first Warmoth guitar together! I will be using a Floyd Rose, but it's the "Rail" model. Still have plans for at least two more Warmoth builds. Best in the business as far as I'm concerned.

These are the best videos. The "bosses" HOPEFULLY understand this. Make more.

This is the Boss of your bosses, you are approved and doing great, keep it up...

Extraordinary attention to detail. Superior knowledge of subject matter. Warmoth is fortunate to have a fellow like aaron. A valuable asset to the company.

How have I not found this channel before.Its so awesome thanks Warmoth.

Bonus tip…I never remove the ball end. I thread that through the tuner, then trim the excess even with the fine tuners.

[AbhisekChakravorty]

Hi Aaron, Thanks for all the great great videos. They really have a lot of educational value.
It's a dream of mine to make a custom guitar for myself, I am from India, and is there any way we can work together, I have made a spec sheet to the best of my knowledge will like to show you that for your expert opinion, , ❤❤❤❤

[d.sandell]

Great videos.. great information.. makes me want to spend money..
I was especially stoked to know that you make baritone necks..
Currently formulating a build guitar in a baritone format for my spaghetti westerns.. Talk with you soon.

I’m buying a 80s Ibanez Roadstar RS 450 with an Edge trem tomorrow. You made me feel better about it. I will learn how to love a Floyd even if it kills me!

To the decision makers at warmoth, this guy presents well and you guys have an awesome angle within the industry. Please continue to upload vids to you tube.

#6. With the Floyd you can release the strings at the bridge and swap a pickup and then reattach the strings quickly. Or remove a pickguard.
