I'm getting new pickups in a couple of days and I was thinking about installing them myself. I'm not too worried about installing the pickups but more worried about my floyd rose. I will have to take off all the strings to install them and I know the floyd is gonna go out of wack. Is there a way I can just keep it in place while I take off the strings and install the pickups? Any advice will be helpfull thanks.

Well, you can leave the springs in and block it to make it stay where it is but there's no difference if you block it
or not if you're gonna remove the strings anyway. Your
best bet would be to use exactly same kind of strings
you're using now. That way the bridge's angle shouldn't
change much if at all when restringing.
Thanks

Those (*&$^%_) bridges seem to be the most common topic of complaint on this part of the Forum!

Yeah i had a similar problem. As long as you dont change string gauge or tuning the floyd rose wont f**k up.
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.
