Hey Guys,
My son (13yearold) has an Ibanez with a Floyd Rose style tremolo and locking nut.
I've not had anybody explain to me the most EFFICIENT way of tuning this guitar.
Where we bought it the tech person there just said "once it's set, don't change it" well that's a load of you know what, 'cause as my 13 year old gets better at bending and such, the strings break in more and more and it needs to be tuned, but sooner or later the micro adjustment on the tremelo itself runs out of play and I have to release the locks on the nut to tune it. THAT'S WHERE THE TROUBLE STARTS.
I know that the tremelo needs to be flush or parallel with the body after the tuning is complete, but it seems that I get it real close to in tune and the tremelo isn't parallel or I get the tremelo parallel and some of the strings are way out of tune, so as I retune those the other strings go way out.
It seems like I'm chasing my tail on this thing!
Any clues?
