downtuning with a floyd
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 8:10 pm
how do I do this without ruining my action? It took me about an hour to set my strings in standard tuning, and even then they're still a tithair flat or sharp.

The tension screws in the routed out part of the guitar.

loosen the springs to make the bridge parallel again, if thats what you mean. because it shouldnt effect your action unless you raise/lower the pivot screws of the floyd

You have to tune outer strings in, ie
E -> E
A -> G
B -> D
If you're downtuning dramatically, you may have to pop in an extra trem tension spring, depending on where the baseplate is comfortable for you.
Not sure how in-depth this goes, seen better instuction sites, but it's straight from FloydRose.com

I made up a small wood block that fits in the Trem pocket behind the floyd. Granted I cant pull the trem higher, but no matter what tuning I use the floyd stays in just fine. Also the block helps with restringing. I really dont see re-stringing with the Floyd as a big deal. I love the fine tuning dials on them, plus the are just comfy to rest your paw on when playing.
