Can't say anything about it yet lol But untill I can play good enough it will take sometime and untill then I wanna buy the Ibanez RG350DX. Well incase there isnt a better one for that price. Would only need to look at it again on how to change string on a Floyd Rose system You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Buy that guitar and you will not be dissapointed, it performs PERFECTLY. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Ibanez RG350 Had the Edge Pro III tremolo, its a floating bridge, and a floating bridge is held up in the guitar by the tension of the strings. now, since the low E Is the thickest, its holding up probably about 50% of the bridges weight, so if you took that out first the bridge would sink further back into the body, creating more tension on the strings, to a point where the might break. here are my steps for doing it. before doing so, i suggest lossening the fine tuners ( they are in the bridge) all the way) 1. Take out High E String 2. Put New One In, Tune It (using tuning pegs on headstock) 3. Take Out B String 4. Put New B String in, tune it (using tuning pegs on headstock) 5. Repeat this til you get all strings. after youve done all that, chances are all you strings still wont be in tune, so, tune them all again starting from High E, When they all are in tune, lock them at the nut at the neck. Since they are new strings, they might fall out of tune after you play them for a few minutes, this is normal, just make sure you use the fine tuners at this point to tune them PS When your strings are tuned, the bridge should be Parallel to the body, if its leaning forward, you need to tighten the springs in the back of the guitar, if it falls into the body, lossen the springs in the back of the guitar. Seems like alot, but after a few times you ca do it in like 10 minutes. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

One more thing tho. Since the RG350 will be new, do I have to make any adjustments on it ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

At most youll have to tune it up a bit. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Hey man, I saw Megadeth last Thursday. They kick ass! They backed up Heaven and Hell. Toni Iommi rules! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
