@@mohitrahaman I know I'm too years late but never say you're going to block a floyd rose. If you were planning on blocking it you should have never bought it. Use a stabilizer instead and to quickly change tunings use a d tuna or a tone vise pitch shifter

wow you've saved me about £1,000,000,099 in snapped guitar strings

I think I'll do that.

Maybe I'm just missing something, but every time I attempt to tune my tremolo equipped guitars this way, it never works. It'll get into tune as shown, but immediately fall out of tune with any use of the tremolo arm (and yes, I made sure to properly stretch out my strings). I saw on Floyd Rose's website their own instructions for tuning with these bridges and it worked for me the first time through however. This comes after near-years of struggling with these damn bridges (and Ibanez's versions of them too). I'll leave it here for anyone else having the same trouble I had. 0) Stretch your strings out as much as possible beforehand (or see the end of this for what I usually do) 1) Unclamp the locking nuts and screw the fine tuners to the middle of their range. 2) Tune the guitar to whatever tuning you wish (don't worry about the baseplates leveling or blocking the bridge at all). *Tune from low E to high E, as usual* 3) After one pass of tuning, check the low E. If it's flat, retune the E, A, D, G, and B strings, but tune them sharper than the target note. If it's sharp, retune with those 5 strings flatter than the target note. This compensates for the change in tensions as you adjust the individual strings. 4) Once you've done this, (weirdly enough), tune the high E TO PITCH. Not sharp, not flat. 5) Rinse and repeat until you're in tune. 6) Check the baseplate now. Adjust accordingly. (If tilted towards the headstock, tighten the claw screws. If tilted into the body, loosen them) But only loosen/tighten a little bit. Do 1/4th turns of the screws. Remember, this will flatten/sharpen the strings, and retuning will readjust tensions at the bridge, causing it to move closer towards where you want it to go. It takes practice to get the estimates right! 7) Repeat 3-6 as necessary, reclamp the strings and the fine tune. Voila! I usually go through these steps, minus the fine tuning, without stretching in the beginning. Once the guitar is locked down after settling everything, I will use the tremolo arm, pulling up on it through its full range, and diving it down and flapping the strings around to help stretch and settle them. Obviously they go out of tune. Then I unclamp and retune. The baseplate doesn't move much, and in extreme circumstances I'll have to do a very small adjustment (1/8th of a turn or so) to the claw screws. I'll repeat this process a few times until the guitar holds tune finally, then I'll fine tune. After this, it holds perfectly. I got my troublesome Edge Zero II tremolo on one of my Ibanez's to finally hold and return to pitch with dives/pull ups using this process. It would always return slightly (but noticeably) flat or sharp depending on which direction I used the bar, but now it's working perfectly. And of course this worked perfectly on one of my Floyd Rose bridge equipped guitars. It's a bit of a convoluted process, and I see the advantages to TTK's method. It saves a lot of time with retuning over and over. I just could never get it to work for some odd reason. Just leaving this here from anyone having similar problems. Maybe it'll help you too!

You see now i'm high... :) Thanks man, helped me heaps. I'm a total Floyd noob.

Thank you so much, im constantly breaking strings trying to figure all this stuff out and you were able to show me more than anyone else could in less than 10 minutes

Thank you, this is so much easier than any other tutorial here on youtube.

GREAT video. Very helpful. I've played Floyds for nearly 30 years and this gave me some tips!

Thanks brother Every now and then I come back to this to refresh my memory. Saved me a lot of headaches.

Thank you so much for this. I just got my first guitar with a floyd rose a few months ago. This helped so much. Best explanation on KZread.

Best tutorial ever! Just perfect! Followed it exactly and it is really done in under 15 min

Great great stuff TTK. I've always just tuned from low E to high E ask my life until one of your videos explained this method of balance. Since then stringing up my Carvins without locking nuts has become much easier. Thanks!!

Hell yes man. I love that you made this video. Helped me heaps. I finally know how to change my tension and understand how to set up my floyd. I already knew how to intonate and I know what the truss rod does. I just need to actually do those two things to understand all the way. You should make a video on that so the whole set up will be complete. Thanks for the awesome video. Worked like a charm.

You ROCK! Finally a method that actually works. I've been trying to tune my guitar for months. Thanks a bunch!

Finally and thank you! Was waiting for a video like this! Amazing

i literally watched the old version of this video an hour ago and successfully drop tuned my guitar in about 5 mins. thanks

Tuned my Charvel from D Standard to Drop C so easily. You’re the guy!!!

Another thing that works great for me on recessed Floyd's ( like the one in the video ) , instead of zeroing the trem with business cards or picks , I use a 9v battery wrapped in electrical tape. It's pretty much the perfect height / width to zero point a recessed Floyd.

i have been trying to watch videos and get this thing tuned for hours, your video was so to the point and accurate i had is tuned in 5 mins, i was actually in disbelief lol thank you

Just wanted to say thanks. I've been too scared to tune my floyd myself for fear of ruining the set up and having to take it to my local luthier for fixing. This worked perfectly and now means my floyd can be used just as much as my hard tail!

Dude, you are a life saver!! You have saved me from going to a guitar store and paying money to get this set up! Thanks so much!!

the phillips screwdriver helps tremendously! never had any more problems when tuning. you are the only person that i've seen do that, and it has been the thing that I havent been doing. now tuning is very simple and quick. thanks for this tutorial

Thanks for this video. looking back you taught me how to tune my 1st guitar. It had a floyd and it drove me crazy, Lol! But, you made a video with your sequence in tuning and it works every time. I still use your technique with any kind of floating trem (like my prs tremonti) or any guitar being difficult. Thank you sincerely.

@ZephyrRandD What ?!? What do you mean when you write a floating trem ? I thought the Tremonti PRS had the same trem as the PRS SE Standard I am going to buy. Is that not more like a vintage 2 point trem like on most Fender guitars ?

thanks man, just bought my first floyd rose system. Much needed! good timing

Excellent.....I've watched 7 others do it and this is the one that is the best..........Perfect TK ......Rock on.

Just got my first floyd and did this first try thanks to you bro! Thank you!

Didn't even watch this vid before I hit 'Like' and subscribed! Thanks for listing what you did in such an organised way below the box - I'm girding my loins for tackling a long overdue setup on my licensed Floyd Rose loads Peavey Predator EXP just now...

Thanks for making this! I'm definitely going to be giving this a try soon

I had been wanting to bring my Jackson rr3 back to standard tuning for ages. This helped a TON. Thank you very much

My first Floyd Rose is restrung and tuned. Thank you for this video. Very helpful! 🤘

You sir just saved me a whole lot of time. SUBSCRIBED & LIKED \m/

I just brought my vintage 1985 Kramer with an original Floyd Rose and that's exactly the way i do it and never have any trouble. Thanks TK!!

That was a great and very helpful video I've had a Floyd for a while and I have to say this was a genius idea thank you!!

I tune in that order too. It even helps on non-locking systems. Excellent video!

Best video I seen on the matter. It worked just perfect. My Floyd axe are now dedicated to Mötley Crüe stuff. Ty alot for the tip.🙏

This video is pure gold, thanks man.

Dude thanks for video, using your advices i'm also down to nearly 10mins when want to drop tune or fix the broken string. Really really great video!

Wow! Very informative video, thanks.

such a goddamn savior man, my dad has a few floyd roses and we always avoided tuning them down from standard cause it would be so troublesome. But this video showed me the light lmao, i tuned it down a half step in 20 mins, thank you very much :)

informative.great job tone king

Thank you, I have Jackson JSX94 currently set to standard tuning and my band have tried tuning down half a step, which mean I find it much easier to sing. Have tuned my other guitars down but was dreading doing the same to the Jackson. Will follow this tutorial now that you have explained it. :)

Thanks a lot! I will try this out.

Thanks TK. Saving me money I can now spend on upgrades. Like the 24voltmod and brass block

Amazing tutorial! You got me setup the fastest! Thank you! And really like your trick too! Just enough technicality for me to remember and perfect theory for it to make sense to me. You’ve earned my sub sir!

Man you are the best !! That was so clear Thank you Sir

Thanks for this excellent video!

Very informative. Thanks for posting! The order you suggest for tuning the strings is interesting, because I was originally taught to do it in reverse (G, D, B, A, high E, low E). But your method works, too.

Awesome video! best floyd setup on the net.

Awesome video boss!!!! Thank you so much helps alot!!!!!

Thank you so much, legend! Just worked on a whole bunch of Floyd-appropriate musoc for a band, and they were just casually like, "Oh yeah, we tune down half a step..." And I was freaking out! Done in less than 9 minutes.

super helpful! thanks!

Very informative! I'm glad I don't have a Floyd equipped guitar though!

Wow thanks man! Watched like a thousand posts by morons. But finally pulled it off with this technique! You are a life saver!!!

NICE! This is the absolute one ! thanks a lot !!!! im from at least 10 differnte tutorials and this solve my Drop A tuning , nice, thanks !

THANK U! I've had never done this until today. It's been years of fear of my own guitar XD. Finally over, starting to lose fear

really awesome job man thanks

good tutorial man, straight to the point and explaining it well! really helped me drop-tune my guitar Thanks man

Wow great video! I never knew you can adjust the springs to get it back in the ballpark! Saved me hrs now cheers 🍻

This is great. Thanks a ton!

Awesome thanks!

You sr. save me time and money. All hail to the top!!!

I've owned a guitar in the past with a Floyd Rose and ending not up selling it because I didn't want to bother with the tuning. I just bought another one with a Floyd and decided I should give it another try. After watching this, I'm so glad I bought another one! So easy! Honestly after removing my "business cards" (coaster) I was a little skeptical, but I maybe loosened those screws like a half a turn and it was close to perfect tuning! A little play with the fine tuners and bam! In tune and ready for playing! Very helpful video!

Thanks so much for this vid I've been trying and I finally came across a vid That doesn't break my strings

I once played an ESP Alexi 200 for years, Never had problems with setting it up or tuning it. But then i got an ibanez from the GIO series with a fixed bridge and literally unlearned how to tune a FR bridge. Until now. Thanks dude:)

Cool video man

Nice video, I just bought my first Floyd Rose Guitar in years. I've been getting spoiled with the Gibson G-Force Tuner. Now its time to get back in the groove of things. :)

Thanks Man! That was useful 🙏✨🤟🏼

Thanks man this worked like a charm! Nice collection of amps though

Nice man! Thanks

Thanks Mate!!!! VERY HELPFUL VIDEO FROM YOU!. . I got this floyd rose guitar almost to buy a new one that has no floyd coz thinking its not flexible for me to Drop tune with my guitar but for this video i'll stick with my floyd guitar no worries to drop tune or in tune my guitar anymore! thanks again! thumbs UP!

This is awesome ! I would only suggest checking the neck relief after the procedure.

Wow thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏! A few years ago I asked this famous guitarist what was the secret to tune the Floyd so quickly. That person said “ I’m not going to tell you, because I had to figure it out, so should you”😂

That sounds like a typical guitar player response (not sharing “secrets”) I remember asking a guitar player how to find the correct key scale to solo, and he wouldn’t share. It would have taken 5 mins to get me started. I also remember when I first started playing, I saw a guy playing barred chords, and asked him what they were (I was still learning opens), and he acted like he had no clue what I was talking about. Nowadays I openly share whatever I can to encourage people to play.
