Floyd Rose guitars are not hard to set up, theres plenty of video`s on youtube to help you with trem spring tension adjustment so that your bridge remains horizontal to the guitars body. Just to double check, is your Floyd Rose a full floating trem (they are not always fully floating) or can you only dive bomb? if its the later then you`ll have no problems just detuning the Bottom E You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Seem to be working for Van Halen. yea it was fitted to the Wolfgang guitars as standard, but they are dive bomb only trems, thats the only way that will work fitting a D-Tuna if you want to go back n forth on tunings is a way to go but you`ll defo have to "stabalize" the bridge in order to fit one. check out this page http://www.dtuna.com/setup.php You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's not so drastic though. Just a few spring screw turns. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
