bridge troubles fer sher

well i got my guitar a while back but it was used..

it has a floyd rose trem but the previous owner locked it out so i can no longer use it :(

so i was curious is there any way i could unlock it with out having to buy new parts?

Depends how it's been blocked off - can you take the back plate off the guitar and have a look? Has the other guy put in more springs to hold the bridge down, or has he jammed something under the back of the bridge to stop it moving?

So yeah, it depends how he blocked it....

edit..

ok i got it working at first but the bridge was too high so i tried to reset it and it all went nutz..

any one wanna give me a step by step guide to installing a floyd rose?? eh eh?

Have you seen this ?

How many springs do you have installed in the back of the trem and what string gauge are you using? I'd suggest detuning your guitar until the bridge is parallel with the body of the guitar, and tune up from there. If the bridge is rising up as you bring the guitar to pitch, you need another spring in the back...

Also, check here for trem setup stuff - IbanezRules has loads of info on this sort of stuff and plenty of pics to help you...

ahh i thank you :))

lets see if i can do it now

If the back of the bridge is sticking up away from the guitar body- the springs need adjusting or replacing.

Don't be surprised if you have to tune the guitar a dozen times before it settles down.
