Guys, does replacing the Jackson bridge and nut with Original Floyd Rose work? Asking because I m from India. The JS32 is available here ans there are some great deals available too. Unfortunately King Vs with the original FR are not. Even if they are they are stupidly expensive. Getting an original FR set up through a friend in the states sounds like it is easier than actually importing a king v with the original FR set up. Requesting your advice pls!

I'd say get the JS32 and block it. Despite the trem its a quality guitar. Glue a piece of wood in the back of it so it goes down only (Look up blocking a Floyd for a better description of what to do) It's just as fun as a fully floating trem but MUCH easier to live with. Can turn a guitar with a questionable quality trem into something that stay in tune, give you no trouble restringing, and you can change tunings all you want.... While being just as fun

Maybe you should get some stainless steel saddles from aliexpress. From what I can tell, this is a floyd rose 1000 series baseplate with the floyd rose special saddles. I believe many guitar companies are branding floyd rose bridge with their own names, including also LTD and Schecter. If I am correct, the baseplate should be hardened, so the weak link are the saddles. You would save so much money by doing that... you also can change your block to a bigger size or a different material, change the screws, change the inserts. It most likely will outperform a stock floyd rose original for much less money.

More time is required in setup for cheap floydish systems.for any needing advice, a good place to start would be to adjust your spring tension. Maybe even remove/add one. Or angle them.it depends on your gauge and tuning. Just because the bridge is in the right position and in tune, doesn't mean it will stay that way. Try to get it to stay in tune with a fair amount of tremolo use BEFORE locking the nut. Also make sure your strings are stretched considerably before you lock them.

Came here to say the same thing 😂

When you said “I felt it slip a little bit” and it was suddenly in tune again, my jaw dropped, because that’s exactly what it’s like on mine. If I bend it up too far, it doesn’t sit right when it comes back down and the guitar goes out of tune. But if I bring it down slightly after, I feel it slip just a little bit, so it goes into place and it’s back in tune.

Quick tip: if you replace the nut with an authentic FR nut it stays in tune almost perfectly. The metal they use for cheaper nuts is not strong enough to really lock down the strings, so it slips a little here and there. But if you put a high quality nut on there it can really make all the difference.

I got one with emgs in it for 250 would an actual ofr be a direct fit?

Got myself Warrior JS32 and the bridge is rock solid on that one. It ofc won't hold up well with new strings, they need some time of playing till they get properly stretched. I had issues only with low E, so I just tighetened the screw holding the string in the bridge a bit, went completely crazy on the whammy bar for whole minute, retuned, and the problem was gone. I didn't have to adjust the tension of the bridge springs at all though and since then, the entire guitar is snapping exactly into tune. Also, playing open G or any open chord for the matter on heavy distortion is sacriledge and a terrible choice for trying to judge how in tune it is. Play couple of power chords on different strings or use tuner, open chord will always sound like trash even when in tune. Last but not least, after just letting go of the whammy bar, the bridge may need a bit of help to get back to the neutral position, and a single bend or touch in the opposite direction of the previous movement helps with that. Which is probably heavily accented on a new bridge on a cheap guitar, and it just needs some work and wear before it actually does what it's supposed to. Probably what happened to you at 4:25.

I'm thinking about buying a js32 Kelly and putting a ton of upgrades (like more that the guitar is worth) in it, lol. a $300 guitar with $200 worth of tuners, an original Floyd Rose ($200), high end locking tuners, a locking nut, and, of course, strap locks... It's going to be... epic!

I got a Jackson JS32 Warrior with the same FR bridge and I balanced the springs inside and it doesn't go out of tune anymore even when I do divebombs and other whammy bar stuff.

Went from King V to Queen B real quick

Do you think replacing the springs would help with the tuning? I know with the Jackson Indo Adrian Smith sigs that made a huge difference in stability for the guys who tried it

@StusWorld

6 жыл бұрын

It might but the amount of slipping that happened was surprisingly high. I’ll look into getting some new springs and see if that would help. Thanks for the suggestion!!

it sounded better towards the end because the bridge didn't go back to the exact spot where it was supposed to be in a few of the previous attempts. you could always block the trem so it only divebombs.

Dunno if there's anyone here that has tuning instability problems. It could stem from the triangular orientation of the springs. If it persists, try one of these methods Change the orientation of the springs, so they're all going vertically in parallel. You can also add a spring at the bass side of the strings. This one worked for me on a JS32 Kelly Alternative option is tightening the springs at the bass strings side.

Thanks for the informative video! Should I get a JS32 and change the Floyd Rose or should I pick one from the X series? I really got into Pantera recently and I really wanna try some Dimebag style dive bombs(I have never owned a Floyd Rose guitar).

@flutterfly420

Floyd Roses are amazing. Honestly an underrated FR machine is the BC Rich Beast (the model with the licensed floyd obviously) you can pull on that bridge until the strings get magnatized to the pickups and SHWOOP back to right where you were playing... its a sweet as guitar.

I could make the same or torture it even harder with my guitar (got the same but black) and I'll keep almost perfectly tuned. As some other comments mentioned, it's not just all about the bridge, if your guitar is not properly calibrated you'll get untuned even with the most expensive original floyd rose. And by "calibrated" I don't mean only bridge stuff but calibration in all the means. And yes, most of the cheap/mid-price guitars come not well calibrated at all because it's "manual" work to do and they're built with CNCs. Gonna upload a similar test later if you wanna come to check it and my other just-starting content. Thanks for sharing it!! And nice amp over there ;)

This man made it cry

I’ve had a few cheap copy Floyd’s and I once had an Ibanez RG with the Ibanez version locking tremolo which until now was probably the best overall quality and performance trem I’d ever played. Then last year I bought a pre owned ESP off an online seller, it was dirt cheap because it had some chunks and chips in the body, it was supposed to be fitted from new with a Floyd Rose Special but the seller had taken it out and put a cheap £30 piece of crap that had to be locked off permanently as it was just really poorly made. Then a few weeks back I got a JS32 arch top with the Jackson Floyd for £100, like new condition. It’s by far the nicest thing I’ve ever played, and considering the tremolos I’ve had in the past, this thing is so nice to be able to use properly at last, I’d say the fine tuners are a little bit roughly threaded and I might look into loobing them a bit to make them smoother to turn, but the tremolo itself just feels so good, smooth and responsive, and i finally have confidence that I can use it, then let it go and it’s back in tune, I haven’t really abused it though to be fair I’m still learning to use it, but it’s easily the best locking tremolo I’ve had/played. I am worried it might wear and tear over time though so I am thinking of either splashing out on a Original Floyd Rose, not the special the better one, or I’ve read the Gotoh ones are really decent for around a similar price as the ofr. I want to put a dime bucker in my bridge position too. I feel like this guitar is a good base point to upgrade and is definitely worthy of some better parts. I absolutely love my dinky

There are very few guitars that worth more than 800 bucks, and almost none of them have some brand logo stamped on the headstock. These instruments are priced based on the brand, paying that high amount just for the brand is some gucci buyer level of stupidity. Specially considering you are a beginner , it is not worth at all. If you're all about having that specific model, you can always go to a luthier or some custom guitar shop and pay him/them to custom build a replica, to the highest grade specs of your liking. Most likely will come cheaper, and definitely way better.

Hi, I don't do dive bomb but I am curious about your comment related to the replacement of the original machine heads. You find the tuners to be pretty useless and I bought a JS32 myself so it begs the question, what would you replace them with? Because of the locking nut, is there any point replacing the machine heads with brand new locking tuners for instance? I hear most people who buy locking tuners for their guitar usually replace the original nut with a graphite nut, but I also understand locking nuts are hard to replace. So if you were to leave the locking nut on, is there a point getting locking tuners is my question I guess? I had a guitar with locking nut a long time ago but I never really bothered to wonder whether these are just designed to prevent the strings to pop out or whether you are supposed to screw them tight to keep them tuned. Locking tuner and locking nut serve the same purpose, don't they?

Hi Bonux! Thanks for the question. The locking nut is designed to tighten on the strings in conjunction with the Floyd rose bridge. With a “licensed” Floyd rose, you get lower quality parts so they don’t hold as well. Adding locking tuners can be a cheaper/easier fix to add some tightness to the strings and help keep it in tune without having to replace the “licensed” Floyd rose. Replacing the “licensed” FR with an original one would be the best option, but there are many things you can do to a locking system. (Redo springs in many ways, locking nuts, switching to a different locking system, etc). Hope that answered your question.

@@StusWorld Thanks for your comprehensive reply, it makes complete sense now. So presumably a "licensed" FR should be the exact same dimensions as an original one if you were to go for the option of replacing it... hopefully. I think I will go for the cheaper option (locking tuners) for now but it is useful to know. Thanks again. Great video.

I appreciate the honesty. Do you think it is the guitar model that is the problem or the floyd rose system itself? or a combination? when you say you take out the floyd rose and put in a real floyd rose, what does that mean?

uglijimus I believe the issue is with the Floyd Rose. Since it’s a cheaper guitar it comes with what is called a “licensed” Floyd Rose. It’s not made by the Floyd Rose company but another company has been given the rights to make a Floyd Rose like locking system. I’ll look into the cost of replacing the “licensed” system with a real system and do an update video. Thanks for the question!

My question is this. Have you changed the strings, or are these the original set ? And, I'm asking because I have the JS32 Rhoads with the licensed Floyd Rose, which I've had for about a year and a half, now, and I've only recently began having some issue with the G string going slightly out of tune, as it still has its' original strings on, which need replacing badly. Could this possibly be the only thing wrong with yours as well ? It's worth a shot, if they haven't been replaced with a quality set.

500erider man, a year and a half is so tiring for a set of strings. You definitely need to change them ASAP. And no, just like already pointed out, it's the problem with the mechanism of the bridge. These licensed FR systems are just because of the budget. The type of material and the design is all that matters here.

Was the Floyd set up? The bridge should be level with the body. And it's possible the mounting studs are garbage, which is like a $15 fix. BTW, I found the mounting studs on the cheaper Floyds, the one's with the cross bar are terrible.

I guarantee you that your Floyd Rose mounting studs are just worn out. I've noticed that especially with license under Floyd Rose trems. If anyone is reading this comment the trick to licensed Floyd Rose trems is not because of your tuners or your Floyd Rose it typically just is the material on the mounting studs if that doesn't work replace the base plate of the trem not the whole entire thing gives you time to wait until you can fully replace the trem (if you wanna upgrade) do be sure to lubricate with some chapstick or other lubrication tools that way when you are abusing the trem it won't wear the knife edges of the Floyd :)

Hey, is your guitar heavily stained? Can you make a new clip for me to see?

Always worth nothing is they’re new strings they’ll go out of tune quicker cuz they’re yet to stretch like they would if they been on there a few weeks or so

A pure wild guess but did the bridge move on the pivot point? Rumor has it the lower cost FR's are made from a lower hardness steel and wear easily there. The knife edge on the tremolo or the posts might show something if inspected.

My Ibanez Prestige RG3570Z does the same thing because it has the edge zero point mechanism added to the Floyd Rose tremolo system. So I always have to pull up a little bit at the end to get it back into pitch. The zero point thing is nice because it will always return the bridge back to “zero” but doesn’t allow for the strings to “snap” back fully since the zero mechanism doesn’t really allow for it. Hopefully your guitar has the same thing and answers your question. Or else I’ve just wasted your time. Lol
