my floyd rose popped out of my guitar. what do i do???
I don´t understand very much. Could you explain a bit?
i was changin strings and i was lifting the whammy bar to take the strings out and then 1 half started to come out then it just all came out
Did you use a diffrent string gauge than before?
Ah, that´s normal. You have to put something under your bridge before changing strings, otherwise it falls off. Now you have to readjust the bridge. I give you a site which explains this very briefly: http://www.jemsite.com/tech-setup-a-questions.html
thanks a lot i fixed it. i was so scared because that was a 700 dollar guitar and i thought it was done for. thanks a lot
I´m glad your guitar is fixed. I had the same problems at the beginning. Now, everything is pretty normal.
Cheers
Yup, floyd rose is a different matter when changing strings but now you got used to it and have your primary experience about it so well done man
now i got another problem. (sigh) i put the strings on and they all sound like muted out and they dont ring clearly. i put them on the right way? help
I guess they are laying on the fretboard. You have to tune the strings correctly, so that the bridge raises. Or just raise the bridge height.
how do i raise the bridge up??? thanks for the help
I posted that link already, this time I chose the correct topic for you. http://www.jemsite.com/tech-setup-a-questions/22-tech-setup-questions/647-tech-setup-step-2-tremolo-bridge-height.html
ok i know ihave to raise them but i got strings on now so will my strings break?
I think they´ll stay as they are. Nonetheless, pay attention.
im sorry im so ignorant. lol were are the bride studs in the guitar i have a jackson btw
IM FREAKING QUITTING GUITAR MY GUITAR SUX SO MACH I SWEAR IM ABOUT TO GO JIMI HENDRIX ON THIS PEICE OF CRAP
Don't freak out, man. If your guitar was working properly before you changed strings, all you have to do is make sure you're all tuned up, and you'll have no more fret buzz. I have a Floyd in my Jackson.
Whenever you change out the strings, the bridge can come out. No big deal. Just put it back in. But, do not raise your bridge height if it was fine before you took off the old strings, unless you have put on a heavier gauge string set than what was on before. In that case, you will have to open up the back of the guitar, and tighten the spring tree a bit. This will increase spring tension to compensate for the heavier gauge set. Make sense?
ok heres the problem The Bridge is messed up and when I put strings on the strings always ring out and the only way for me to get it to stop is to raise the bridge really high. ive also been messing with the springs
As FrankW said, don't mess with the bridge height if it was ok before.
Could you check if the bridge is well in place again?
It easily can happen that the bridge is hanging to low on the two screws.
If possible, can you add a photo of the bridge?
Okay--
Firstly, calm down. Second of all, you're not alone. On my old SG, I took all of the strings off for the first time, and then suddenly I had the exact same problem as you. All you have to do is raise the bridge. It's called intonating your guitar. If you have to raise it really high, then so be it. Your strings won't break. I don't advise playing for a little bit, say, a day or two ( I know, it's difficult ); this will let the bridge sit and the strings slowly adjust to the bridge. If this fails, then you can always get a new bridge or have a professional repair it, and it will be for under 700 $. I guarantee you.
hey i took my guitar to the shop and they said it would take 85 bucs to replace some parts and set the bride back up because i messed the strings up is this a good deal
Setup work is usually between 60 to 100 $ for what you needed so you got yourself a nice deal
