View post (Tuning with a Floyd Rose)
View thread
I am not a complete newbie, although you could carry the extent of my guitar skill in a larg-ish thimble, however, I have unbelievable trouble with Floyd Rose trems. I have a Samick Artist series guitar (I believe it is a KR660, although I can't find the info right now) with Floyd Rose Tremelo. I removed all of the strings to replace them instead of swapping them out one at a time (a move which I have since come to regret). Once I put the new strings on, I can't seem to get the thing in tune. I have an electronic tuner, so I did not think this would be difficult, but regardless of whether I start tuning from Low E or High E, when I am done, the strings I started with are now out of tune. I was able to tune using harmonics on the fifth frets, so the notes are in tune relative to each other, but are still much lower than they should be. Does anyone have some helpful hints on how to place new strings on a guitar with a Floyd Rose Trem, and then get it in tune?
