Tips

To get the most out of the Floyd Rose system, stretch your strings thoroughly when changing them and make sure the locking nut is properly tightened. For a classic rock tone, roll back the tone knob slightly on the bridge humbucker; for sparkling cleans, use positions 2 and 4 on the 5-way switch. A professional setup is recommended to dial in the tremolo tension to your preferred string gauge.
