I can't tell you how valuable your channel is to me and my guitars. I've been using your methods for a few years and I consider your channel to be the definitive setup guide..thanks
All great advice. Unfortunately, I had to learn these things the hard way. (Where were you 35 yrs ago?!)

Years of wondering how to solve the locking nut/sharpened note scenario... suddenly solved forever with one video. THANK YOU! (This is why I love KZread so much.)
I have exactly the same setup on my Kramer and the same headaches..cant believe i didn't see the nut problem and see the solution..worth watching just for that. Thanks for your videos.
Every 'Rose' has it thorn! 😆

all my life i was thinking what that song meant...now i get it.
The first tip is the most valuable to me. I never thought to lower the retention bar. I just tuned the string a little flat before I locked down the nut. Thank you for making this video.
I have been watching your Beatles isolated vocals youtube video's for years thinking wow this guy is not only an amazing singer but also breaks down each harmony like a champ and mimics the timbre of each of the fab fours tone with terrific execution. Little did I know that you could also solve my Floyd Rose tuning issues on my '94 fender talon where countless others offered no viable solution. Great channel. I wouldn't be surprised if I searched for an "Osso Buco recipe" or "How to back butter porcelain tiles with grout and your channel came up in a google search.
Good video, I've seen most of these problems, wish I had your video back then. I even returned a guitar because of open string buzz. Because of Luthiers like you I went from being afraid to adjust my truss rod to fully re-fretting a 1984 Kramer. Thanks for all you do!!
This has got to be one of the most informative and best videos on fr problems. Thanks
I'm new to the floyd rose bridge and have experienced several of the problems you described. I've been searching for answers on you tube and I'm excited to saw you answered them!!! Thank you so much. I'm now a new subscriber!!
Very good, in particular the "sitar" effect , it is something that happens with other guitars , thx .. grazie
God bless my friend..thanks for posting this...I bought my first Floyd Rose equipped guitar last week...and yesterday I was questioning wether I made a mistake...I did not ..after coming across your video ..I realized I got the most awesome guitar..🙂
Fantastic video thank you! After years of frustration playing Gibson, Fender, PRS, and other guitars that would not stay in tune, now I only play Floyd Rose guitars. This design is complex and does require a specific knowledge base to maintain tuning and intonation, but from my experience playing guitar for 50+ years the effort required to learn how to fix the issues presented in this video is a small price to pay for perfect tuning and intonation! Thank you my friend for taking the time to share your wisdom with us!
Thanks for doing this video mate! I'm a drummer just and old Jackson and you helped me understand everything I needed about Floyd Rose with this short video. Thank you so much!!!!
I just discovered your channel and solved 2 things i couldn't understand because i'm only 2 years into guitars.I'm very curious by nature and always liked to understand what i'm working on whether it's at work or in my hobby,i like to fix things the right way so imagine how grateful i am to have found why the open string buzz or the string coming sharp when locking the nut.A big big thank to you for sharing your knowledge.
Floyd Rose was created to solve one problem of keeping the guitar in tune but the solution creates 10 other problems to keep Floyd Rose happy. It's sad.

Actually | was surprised to find out that in practice it was super easy to work with FR compared to calibrating a vintage six-point to please you while not going out of pitch easily. If you have a good OFR/Edge type and a good setup to begin with, it's peanuts, really. They stay in tune as well as any unabused fixed bridge even when heavily abused, if all is setup ok. I love my OFR-equipped Ibanez RG (don't ask why OFR) :)

I love you man!!! This buzz from the open high E was driving me nuts, but this trick helped. Pushing the string to one side didn't help, but pushing it to the other did solve the problem. Simple solution, but big relief. Huge thanks!!!
Just restringed my Floyd Rose and was super happy to find this video to solve all the problems I am having. I definitely didn't screw my string retainer enough and I had a bit of a tuning change when locking the strings in.
Helpful video, thank you. I've been having issues with my floyd rose set up for years and you just solved 3 of them.
the very first fix - the lowering the string retaining bar - seems to have solved my issue. I never even considered this! You've saved my live guitar from potentially expensive messing around. Thank you!

Great video, Galeazzo. Your first tip worth it all, thank you.
I'm giving my Kramer Focus 2000 a tune-up. This video helped me solve issues that have plagued me for 20+ years....
You are the very best luthier/tech on the whole internet. You get right to the point, with relevent information that few others would nøt share even if they were aware of such insights... and you do so without any fluff, gimmicks, or marketeering. Better yet, you are a humble and gracious soul without the annoying ego-seeking insecurities and bad habits that other 'guitar gods' put first and foremost in their videos. You make videos about guitars, and their idiosyncracies, and you educate your viewers while the other wannabes make videos about themselves, if they can stay focused at all. YOU have set a new standard, and a righteous format that all youtube channelers should seek to attain. For all of that my dear friend, you earn my highest respect. Thank you. Sincerely.
One of the most useful and educational floyd videos i have seen so far. Thanks for this!
Great video many thanks. I recently bought my first Floyd Rose equipped guitar, '92 Strat, and Im experiencing many of these problems, but now feel confident to put it right. 😀
By far one of the best videos I've seen in regards to FR
Excellent video. I came back to watch it again because I forgot parts of it and was going to mess around with my Floyd Rose. Best video on the topic. Saved me some head-aches.
This was the best video I have ever found explaining this stuff. This is the stuff people need to know. Once I learned how to set up a Floyd confidently ...I have no preference of guitar anymore. You have no Idea how many people ask me what a string retainer is for other then looks and when I explain it, it works as a solid conversation piece because its actually quite clever. I just wish the Floyd was as easy as a tune-o-matic to intonate. Takes a bit longer but if your into setting up guitars then I assume it's widely agreed that it's like meditation anyways. Great video!.
I got the new Schecter Floyd Rose 1500 on my Reaper this helped me with some issues....not a lot of instructions with the guitar but I love it. May God bless you for your generosity!

Thank you, thank you and thank you once again. I just bought Ibanez with ZR tremolo and this video is very helpful. I've been actually looking for a way to stop open string buzzing for more than half an hour before I noticed you uploaded this :).
Greetings from Texas USA! Thank you very much for the help on this. It solves many issues for me. I am now a new subscriber and am learning more from this channel as I watch more videos. Thank you again and have a nice day
Awesome video. I'm doing my first full setup by myself tomorrow and I'm of course expecting trouble, this is gonna be useful. Thanks.
Awesome video! My EVH Frankie started not staying tune, especially my E string. This fixed it!!
Thanks man! This is great stuff for me! Got to reassemble a old with a FR and I am shure those 5 are no problem anymore.
Great info on the Floyd...I was jyst looking for videos on how to keep mine in best shape for tuning stability and this helped a lot to understand the various issues to be aware of and how to solve them! Thanks! 😎🎸
I've purchased a Floyd Rose guitar recently and even though I haven't ran into any problems so far, I enjoyed a lot this video so I'll be able to recall any of these issues if they ever happen to me and be able to solve them. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. I actually learned a couple things that I did not know before. And I have been doing FR set-ups for a while. Thank you again!!!!!!
Wow! I had no idea, very good video indeed! I've encountered some of these problems over the yrs. now I know why! Thanks! Subscribed!
Thank you, I had the buzz at the nut on my floyd for ages and I was convinced it was coming from the bridge, thanks to you it's solved!
The buzzing on the open string has annoyed me for years, and this video really helped me! Thanks!
Awesome video, and thank you for sharing your tips ❤❤
Dude. Complete game changer! Thanks so much I was really giving up on my floyd it was more tuning than playing
Thanks man! Always very useful tricks!
Really good info here you might not find anywhere else. Thank you!
Thank You Frudua. Your Video's are Excellent. You've helped me set up a lot of things on my Guitars. :) God Bless You

4:47 The 3rd problem applies to the Bridge too, the same thing happened to me, and I broke a lot of strings because of that, I just sanded the sharp part and now it's perfect, also if you want better tunning stability you need to set-up the whole guitar.
Good video. I love my Floyd Rose! I wanted to point out a problem I had. Mine would make a "click" sound when you pressed down the arm. Drove me crazy. Sometimes it would go away. Couldn't tell where it was coming from. Sounded like it was the springs or the bridge hitting the pick guard. In that area, or maybe the bolt on neck complaining, but it was not. It was those screws that hold on the nut. They were loose, so the whole nut was moving when I pressed down on the tremolo arm. Since most nuts are glued in place, I didn't think about it until I started doing some online research. Fixed it last night after suffering with it for years. Works great now. Smooooth and silent!! Never did have any tuning issues. Maybe that will help someone out. Cheers!
always great videos from this guy!!!
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
Wow, very useful tips for my favorite Floyd Rose, thank you 🎸
Very enlightening and useful. Thank you.

I don't know if you will be able to see this comment but Since my very first floydrose guitar from my highschool days, and after 10 years your videos have been the perfect solution for my guitars equiped with floating trems. I can't thank you enough for these informative videos. I hope you are healthy and having a great time of your life.
Fantastic advice and explanation, as always! Grazie mille!
Great Video! Fantastic Info!! Thank You Very Much

Very helpful clip. I've used Floyds for many years, but I still learned a couple of helpful tips.
I had the exact problem which was the first one. The string retainer was too high....amazing! Thanks a bunch!
Great video! Best tips ever
Wow, beautiful guitar. Don't like the exposed screw threads on the string bar. Great tips, thanks 👍.
Very original and useful stuff thanks!!

Seriously mate,do you have 10 thumbs?Even when I was a complete novice I had no problems with my Floyd.Compared to a standard trem they are a dream.Only a total moron would complain.If you have trouble keeping a Floyd in tune,then maybe guitar is not for you.

I had a really young guy part-exchange a Dean Razorback in my shop for a Schecter. He just couldn't get along with the Floyd, but I feel that the shop that sold it to him (he was a complete newbie) should have made it crystal clear what the difference was, and that he would need to familiarise himself with the system. It freaked him out and he just wanted rid of it...
Good stuff, as always!
Excellent! The sharp on locking down the nut really is a pain. Didn't know about the small plate on the underside of the bridge saddles either. Thank you!
Extremely good and professional. thank you!
