why get a floyd rose if you gonna keep tuning up and down?

 

[wjl123]

you can simply use your fine tuners too... But for other stuff like standard D or drop C , you will need a hardtail or a resetup for your floating bridge guitar.

nah, got got one song i wanna play requires a drop d tuning.
no reason to turn down a floyd rose just because of a single song =\
hmm.. seems like tuning a floyd rose is difficult, i think i should juz improvise something to sound similar to the song..
thanks for the help btw ^^

1) Install a Tremol-no

2) Install a D-Tuna

What song are you referring to? Slither? :twisted:

D-Tuna only works when the Floyd is blocked to dive only.

Research before you buy.

Thats where Tremol-no comes in.

Or a block of wood, stack of coins, etc etc.

I had the tremol-no before - works like a charm... except I can feel it there, which was the deal breaker.

install a tremel-no with a d-tuna. that would be the most convenient i believe.

for the tremel-no, i think it's sort of a hit-or-miss thing. i've had 2 guitars with the tremel-no, one i used very comfortable because i coudn't feel to tremel-no there. at first when i installed it, it could be felt pretty obviously, i had to adjust the block clamp many times to find the perfect position in which it couldnt be felt at all. whereas for the other guitar, no matter how i adjusted the tremel-no, i could feel it there. which was pretty irritating cos you can feel the aluminium scraping against each other. anyways i sold the second guitar away. haha.
