Members Yugi00 Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 I bought a Jackson RX10D three years ago... the Floyd (i think its a JT 580) was nice. It held the tuning, it was easy to push and pull, but now after three years everytime even if i dont use it my guitar gets detuned! Drasticly... not a few cents but whole tones. And also its totally hard to move it up and down with the bar... How can i repair it? I was thinking about to replace it for a original FR or even a LO-PRO edge but i dont know if it would be worth.

Members Will Chen Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Bring it to a shop and have it set up correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whiteop Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 could be the knives / blades and posts are worn too. That's what I hate about staying in tune and trem units. All parts of the machine have to function correctly to stay in tune. I bought an Original Floyd Rose from the factory and that seems to have solved my tuning issues for the time-being.

Members MECCAVINTAGE Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 Floyd Roses are notoriously finicky depending on the model. I stay away from them altogether to be honest. Had a Kramer frankenstrat in the mid-90's and it was a complete nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members volvo1800 Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 tuner locks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PanaDP Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 tuner locks? I'm assuming if it has a floyd it also has a locking nut, so having locking tuners would be superfluous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yugi00 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 I cant say im a newbie XD but i adjusted my floyd 1000 times now, but i couldnt get it to work for a long holding tuning :/ i was once in the shop and they didnt told me that there is nothing to adjust... so i tought that maybe the screw which are screwed in the body are loose or something OR the fine tuners are toooooooo loose... idk if im right but it could be a possibility too... i know that JT580 isnt a great trem but i dont know if the Original FR would be better... i heard that Ibanezs EDGE are much better, but the next question is if it would match in the hole :/ ?!
