Hello,

Today I purchased an RG1620X ibanez with a built-in acoustic piezo pick-up in the floyd rose tremelo.

What I need some advice on is how to go about setting this guitar so the bass E string can be de-tuned to D. Would a Tremsetter enable me to do this? And would I still be able to use the tremelo function?

I have no idea how the 'Tremsetter' works, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Reg

The tremsetter will just make the bridge return to its original position more accurately. What you need to drop just the e-string to d is a d-tuna. http://www.dtuna.com/

tremlo settup is a fairly indeepth procedure, challenging even the experinced some times. You should look up tremlo setup on the web. Theres alot of stuf out there explaining it. I mean I could show you, but wheres the fun, and adventure in that. If you get your trem set up rite it should work fine. The strings I would pre stretch at least a whole step, and play them a while to break them in, then back them back off to your normal tuning. That way you can be fairly sure if your having problems adjusting your tremlo your strings streching probably wont be the issue. Nothing else needed. floyde rose rule!
