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 !!!

Also, you said the thicker strings weren't popping out; their structure probably prevented slippage.

I have always that it's the size of the strings that make it more solid. I'll see if I like it that way....

One thing is sure... I should never bought something with a Licensed Floyd Rose. But I was young at that time and absolutely wanted to do dive bomb

For now it looks alright I have even played a bit with the whammy bar and it's working well.

I have had tthree licensed F. Rose's and i have never been let down , I don't think that is your problem
like sollesnes said I think you just need to find the sweet spot and the right amount to tighten it
if not it might need a new saddle ,but that would need expertise
