Hi All i was order new string and i will be 1 time restring My Jackson with Floyd i was find on yotube this video which look to me ok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_q2wleWRvw but i want to know if somebody has other good advice ? actually i was see few years ago some kind of technique which can made the changing string more easy but i don't know if that's recomeded...the thing is we don't go to cut the end of the string as the guy showing around 8 minute of this video but we turn the string around and put the end of the string to the hole of tuning pegs ...the end get stuck there and we be can tighten the string without any other moves there...it's something wrong with the technique? also i have rosewood fretboard..so probably using the lemon oil be ok? to clean the fret -------------------- [

Assuming you are using the same guage of course. Another way to do it, is to depress the the bridge and Block it....some ppl use a 9volt batterry placed under the bridge while u have depressed it, then let it go and the weight of the bridge will end up on the battery..... My way...i actually take the floyd rose off....Can be a longer process and u really need to be good at the innotation and height of your strings....but i take it off, clean everything, polish etc then put it back together. It happened by accident actually, i was changing strings and the bridge slipped out of the height adjusting pegs....i shat myself, thought i broke something....then after about 5 mins of noodling around I realised that I could actually fix it....haha And lemon oil is fine with Rosewood mate...it Maple fretboards you need to woory about...and using citrus based oil is the only product you can use on a maple fretboard... Cheers EDIT: there is nothing wrong with leaving the way you are doing it...but the end's of the strings...the balls...are useless but u can leave em on if u want....

I love being able to dive bomb and such with the floyd rose. But I hate when it comes to restringing it so I just put it in the corner and use my other guitars as my workhorses.
When I restring it, I have a block of wood that I cut to fit into the cavity to keep it from moving so I can restring it or if I wish to tune lower just leave it in and not worry about the tension because its not going to be moving. -------------------- Guitars:
