here you got, i think this is what youre looking for http://www.guitarnoise.com/lesson/tuning-a-floyd-rose/ Thanks, I'll try to understand that It's just that I'm new to this and it might take some time Yeah, I don't understand a word of that... It says that if the Bridge is leaning forwards the strings are too loose, so... which way is forwads, is it to the direction of the neck... My Bridge is little bit in the air from the back, does this mean that the strings are too loose...

he doesn't say anything about the fine tune knobs at the back???? He's got them all screwed tight, and the other intstruction say that they should be in the middle.... I use to set them in the middle. Aim to get the tremolo aligned with the body unless it has a notch that you should set aligned instead. Tune up adjust the screws (inside the guitar reached from the lit on the back) to tighten or loosen. The goal is to get the forces between the strings and the springs to equal while the tremoli sits aligned. Tune up again and check the result. Repeat (forever) One sucky part is that now when the strings are new they will stretch so one idea is to set it up just alright for now, play a few hours and when they have fully stretch, get back to setting up the trem. -------------------- My bands homepage

It's all said more or less so I would just add
to replace strings one at the time, get it in tune,then remove next string,tune it etc. It might be confusing,even scary if you have no experience with floating bridge but once you get the procedure it's really easy,no worries. -------------------- Youtube

I recommend you get yourself a tremol-no (small clamp type).

Why is it that now that I have tuned it, and Closed the locks on the top it falls out from it, and when it tighten it with the fine tune knobs, it only stays in tune a second and now the bridge is definitely raised from the body????? should I know tighten the springs under the plastic cover??? I got to go eat something this sweating, has made me lost tons of energy that is what I've been doing but, it wont stay in tune, what's up???? If it's in tune but bridge is raised from the body then you should tighten the springs,of course! But,what was the position of bridge when you bought the guitar, was it in tune etc? -------------------- Youtube

It just wont stay tuned, if tune the low E string, and move on the the next then the Low E string comes out from tuning Thanks, for the tips Jose But I'm not changing strings, I just don't know how to tune this guitar, it wont stay tuned what am I doing wrong ??? because when you start tuning the next string you change the overall tension. But like I said before, tune it just fair then play for a couple of hours until the strings are fully stretched. THEN go for the final tuning -------------------- My bands homepage

Hi Kyldeee.
I had the same problem when I first moved to a floyd-rose guitar. This is the one site that has all the information you gonna need: http://www.ibanezrules.com/tech/setup/index.htm For the time being I'd suggest you to use the same string gauge it came from factory, until you learn better how to setup it. Don't use the locking system until the strings are fully stretched. After that you lock them and have no any further problems with tuning.
