Strings Popping Out Of Floyd Rose Options

[Crazy_Diamond]

Hi guys,

I was away from home this weekend. And nothing much to do.... I was playing on my old electric guitar (since it's the only guitar I have with me at the moment). I founded that the guitar played really great and that I love the feeling it gaves me when I vibrato.

Just did a whole tone bend on my high e-string and SCHDOIIINNNGGGG !!!! .. I suddenly remembered why I bought another guitar at that time. The licensed Floyd Rose as always been a big deception for me with that guitar. I am not really using the diving/pulling option that much because my strings are popping out from the bridge all the time. I know how to change a string even some luthier has change some strings on it and it keeps popping out.

Is there anyone of you who have some tips on making the strings in the bridge more solid. It could be a great guitar if the Floyd Rose was a bit better. I have taught about changing the bridge but I am not sure all the money invovled would be a great deal.

Beside my guitar is a ESP LTD F-200 (this precise model is now discontinuated I think). I would have love to learn the new Lesson on phrasing with the whammy bar but I can't even bend a whole tone witout the string popping out.

I hope someone on this site has a trick to block the string in the bridge.

Thanks !!!

Did you ask the luthier specifically about it?

Make sure the string is deep enough down, and placed so that it will be tightened (for example if there is a mark from the string that it easily can fall into, and get out of, don't put it there), and tighten it until the screw is completely stuck. Play for a bit (without bending), and in an hour or so, check the screw again. You can see if the problem is the screw untightening itself, or if the string will somehow manage to pull itself out. Unless of course, the problem happents immediately after putting on new strings.

Does it happen to all the strings, or just some specific ones?
How does the blocks that tighten it look?

Hope you solve it, good luck
