Hi,
Ok ive not been playing my Jackson for a while now because when I changed the strings something screwed up... So ive bought two new sets of ERNIE BALL COATED HYBRID SLINKYS and I want to try starting from scratch Now what I need if its possible is a video showing me in detail how to change the strings on the Jackson RR24 Floyd Rose and also how I should have it looking on default with the springs and level-ness etc... Its really killing me not being able to play that guitar Do if someone could help me get all this detail and info so I can get the strings tomorrow in the mail, sit down, put them on right and play away without having the 1/2cm gap between the fret and strings. Thanks, Rowan -------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Well ive cut the strings off now to be all ready to start tomorow, but the bridge in my opinion looked ok, bt the strings where too high from fret...
Ive watched two videos now on this and kinda understand but same time I get the feeling im gonna do the same mistakes... Another thing is the videos say do 1 string at a time, I never do that, I know its stupid but it shouldnt cause a major issue should it? Also, right now the strings are off, and the bridge is really loose, should it be like that? -------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I dont get the strings till tomorrow morning,
Right now my guitar is loose, the springs would probably fall out of the back its that loose. The bridge is point into the gap. So I would cut the ball of the end of the strings, place them in, lock it up, and tune it. -------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Im not 100% sorry
I just remember thinking my floydrose doesnt move as easy or pitch as easy as it should... So I followed a guide about putting a spoon under it to level then just put the springs on, so I done that but then strings where highish off fret board and I followed another forum topic here on how to fix with the springs etc but nothing worked Best thing I can do is if someone can tell me the way it should look just now where everything should be and how tight the springs should be etc so ive got a starting point, then ill follow that video for putting strings on one by one. -------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes man I think so lol, again though I wont know till tomorrow, I sent you a PM btw to make things easier.
Also I will post up some pics etc... but so far I think its: 1) Cut ball and put strings on, tune to CGCFAD 2) Now look at the bridge, if its going up then tighten the springs, if its dipping in, loosen them 3) Play around till you get it level and in tune That sound right? -------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Good,
As far as the bridge pivots go, Im sure ive got them turned as far as they can go down, now when I turn it basically makes a grinding crunching noise. I will get some pictures up in the next hour or two to let you see how it looks just now you can tell me if I need anything adjusted before I even start. -------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
