Members Jasco Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 So, after I typed that I went and looked at tremsetter on youtube, and from there to a video about how to block the pull up; then I did that ... an hour later my floyd rose is "down only", and no more "string break" emergencies!GaJ Yes, but you lose all the cool tricks with down only. My solution to no more string breaks (with floating fender, not floyd, but same solution) is just to put new strings on every day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GreenAsJade Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yes, but you lose all the cool tricks with down only. Actually, I don't mind that so much, but what I am not liking as much is the totally changed feel. With the trem floating, it's very sensitive and light: you can make little enhancements to notes subtly and easily. With it blocked, it's much "heavier", and the transition from not being active to being active is more sudden and less subtle. I'm not sure how long I will put up with that. It is nice not worrying about string break, and having it blocked definitely improves the sustain, no doubt about that... My solution to no more string breaks (with floating fender, not floyd, but same solution) is just to put new strings on every day or two. rich dude!

Members Jason Credible Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 There's two alternatives to a Floyd. Kahler or Death. And personally, I'd take death before I pursuance a Floyd.:phil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gennation Posted January 31, 2012 Members Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've had one of the originals since 1983. When I was a full time musician I changes the strings every two nights and intonated it every week for about 6-7 years. I found nothing difficult about them. Even 30 years later the thing is still dead on when setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
