1000s of people are putting string on Floyds the wrong way... Me included.. what a God send!!!! cheers man. great job.

It blows my mind that only 77 people have clicked the "like" button. Brother, this is just the perfect information that I've needed for so, so long. I can't thank you enough... THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have improved my life by taking the time and effort in posting this tutorial. I am truly in your debt man!

I have searched hundreds or videos on this and this has been the absolute best one I’ve seen and to make things easier I have the Damien platinum version with the bat inlays and now I know how to keep it working properly. I also loved how you explained different ways to attach the strings to the head stock…you just taught me more about restringing a guitar in 42 minutes than I’ve learned in 25 years thank you so much!

Been at war with my Yamaha for a week, it was driving me mad, your video helped restore some calm to my life. Cheers mate!

Al, fantastic job on the entire setup/explanation for a guitar with a Floyd Rose. Greatly appreciate you taking the time and sharing all that you learned in setting up this type of guitar. Now I am going try mine for the first time!!! 🤟🏻

One of best explanations very thorough! Good job thanks.

Thank you, mate. This is by far the best video I have seen on this subject. Not only do you explain in detail how to perform the set-up, but you also explain why the certain steps are taken and the effect that each step has. Absolutely brilliant video. I am going to subscribe to your channel. Thank you again.

Now I've seen clearer points of inspections in the process A BIG THXZ to you 👍👌🙌👏🎸🤘🤟😎

This is the best video about floyd rose setup I`ve ever seen. Really perfect. Thank you

I used the awesome information in this video to setup my floyd equipped bc rich warbeast, tuned to drop c. It sounds and plays amazing. I cant thank you enough for the time and effort you put into making this video. Priceless information! 🤟

Best in depth FR set up video I've ever seen. Period. You rock. Subscribed.

Thank you man! You gave me the "Volta's Key" . The more detailed video I've ever seen. Cheers from Italy! Yours is the 1st channel I subscribed . Respect ! \m/

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. This covered all aspects to setup and in great detail. I didn't realize all the things to be checked and adjusted. This was a very understandable process and I thank you again! Cheers!

This is *exactly* what I was looking for to set up my FR Tremolo! Cannot thank you enough!!!

Thank You 🙏 so much,sir!!! I have learned so many things about my Floyd Rose system today, and other things that I thought I knew,lol!! Amazing tutorial!!! Stay safe and healthy my friend!! ☮️❤️☮️

This is by far the best video I've seen on this.

You're the best, man. No pretense or forcing us to hear your playing throughout the video, thorough and pragmatic. Now I will dutifully seek out videos of you playing and subscribe to do my meager part. You rule.

Thanks so much for this tutorial.. the most detail I found on youtube so far. I usually play more jazz than rock with my semi hollow guitar and sometimes with my stratocaster. Several months ago I bought my first floyd rose guitar online to be able to imitate Satriani's and Vai's style but ended up in frustration about the setting up, apparently, until I found your complete tutorial. Thanks heaps mate... keep the good work.

Excellent explanation, clear and concise. Congrats for an excellent video and thank you!!!

This guy is badass👍🏼. Thank you Sir for all your years of technical and procedural knowledge. Your video is a life saver and super helpful. Thank you for all the effort you put into your video. Take care, God bless you and please continue.

Best vid about this ,all guitar teachers should give this to students,very easy to understand,great great video!

Thank you! This is an amazing video,the best explanations, although I knew a few things about guitar setup this video thought me so much! I will save this video and,when I'll gather the courage,will start setting up one of my guitars! Thank you!!!

amazing video! This video needs a lot of love! Accurately explained, no BS!

Excellent video! Thank You for demonstrating the intonation process with a Floyd Rose.

Hey just watched you Floyd Rose video, I thought it was very in-depth and insightful how you explained the use for the fine tuners. This was a great tutorial, as you went over every part of the set up, delivering easy to understand methods and the subtitles and diagrams helped as well.

Can’t thank you enough for the extensive information that you have shared with me. Since the early 80’s I’ve been using whammy’s and also self taught myself on adjusting the “Rose” but your in-depth presentation is one of the best out there. And as far as your English I believe it was just fine! Regards,Stella blu

Fantastic video my friend!! Well informed and easy to follow, thank you!!

Thanks heaps for the great tutorial. Quite helpful and easy to understand!

Very comprehensive! I think I can do it now because of your teaching. Thanks!!!

so thorough and detailed! very valuable video, thank you so much for sharing :)

Thank you very much, I've been watching dozens of videos to set up my FR guitar and this is by far the best one, even though it could be even better, but that's just to make a negative criticism. I feel reassured now, and I can safely clean and make adjustments on my LTD MH-401QM FR guitar, thank you, thank you :)

Outstanding effort from you in making this video. Superb 👍

This is a very good and detailed tutorial. I was completely lost and scared on how to setup my guitar. I didn't even know that the bridge had to be parallel to the body, mine was tiled towards the neck a lot. I also didn't know anything about action or intonation. I found this very helpful. Much more helpful than some of the higher viewed videos. Very good job

Wow! This is the best video to learn, clear and so helpfull. Thank you very much. Wow, de loin le meilleur tuto sur le sujet même pour un francophone comme moi, merci beaucoup!!!

Best tutorial EVER. Love your work my friend:)

Thanks. Clear and easy to understand instructions.

Thank you so much Al. Great video, well explained. You saved my guitar!

Best human being on earth. Greeting from S'pore! Thanks bro 👊

I saw a lot of videos and this is the best one !!! Thanks Man !!!

Thank you so much, sir! My first guitar has a Floyd Rose bridge, and today I not only changed strings on a guitar for the first time, but now I know how everything works!

Thank you for sharing your tips ❤❤

Thank you very much man for this wonderful description I lost two guitars because they have a problem with the bridge and now I got another guitar and by mistake, I changed the string and never come perfect but when I watched your video it help and I realize I'm going to fix my guitar by my own without being worried about anything so thank you very much.

Just picked up an older Washburn MG30 with floyd rose setup...I followed your instructions to the letter and I got one awesome sounding axe...man I have to tell you I know everything about the floyd rose thanks to you...killer video...if anybody is looking for instruction on setting one of these up this is the video to watch nothing else needed to do it right...thank you very much for putting it all together and sharing. Great personality too! Take care

This guy is great, to the point of the complete set up, you can see and understand him very well.

The best video on floyd rose setup in all if KZfaq!

thanks so much for this, good explanations and nice video and photos, well done!

That was awesome! I've been playing guitar and bass for 30 years and have done a version of this (intonation, string and pick-up height) on my basses but never on my Floyd Rose guitars. What a great tutorial! Thank you so much. Oh, and the English was great as well :)

WOW You know this video is informative and this guy really knows his stuff because it only has 3.9k likes at 115k views. An easy way is not presented; just the correct way. Thanks!

so far, this is the only video on the subject. thank you so much! i have a Westone Spectrum FX with a Bendmaster Deluxe bridge and it sounded soo bad until now, especially after the 12th fret. Thanks to you, I can finally play the whole guitar :')

Great video! Thanks for the in depth breakdown!

superb video. very thorough. thanks so much.

Much appreciated, my buddy loaned me his guitar, and it's like this set up you show, the first time I used Floyd Rose, and was like WTF...now I got it. Thanks.

About time a proper set up video . My Jackson thanks you sir

I would have never thought of using posits to block the tremolo. I’m not in short supply of those. It’s amazing how you find out useful information unexpectedly

I just bought a Schecter C1 FRS Platinum that has just about the same configuration as what you're setting up here. This is my first Floyd Rose and the factory setup is a bit off, especially the tension on the bridge. I was pretty stoked to find a detailed video using basically the same guitar! Thanks for this!!!

good video man, very thorough. Thumbs up!

Such a good and easy to understand video!

holly molly this video i ll be searching for several years. great source

That was an excellent video. Ive seen a lot of set up videos but you explained things that i didnt know why i was supposed to do certain things. Thank you very much and your english was perfect. I bought a tool to let me do the intonation under string tension that works pretty good so that made intonation easier but i dont know if i can mention the name. Thanks again for your video.

Best tutorial I've seen by far!

Man, thank you! I’ve just spent about 5 hours with movie and the guitar and finally it sounds as I always wanted it to be after, attention, 10 years. Thank you one more time!

Thanks man, I bought and setup my guitar for my first time, it felt pretty daunting at times to even unscrew ANYTHING on it. Had the problem of my strings laying on top of my pickups lol was sooo frustrated I felt like tossing the whole thing out the window. Thanks to you I can practice now with a smile, thanks again!!!

Gracias, este video es muy claro y fácil de seguir. vi docenas de videos pero ninguno es tan claro como este.

Best tutorial on KZfaq! Thank you bro

I've been playing guitar for 37 years and I can't even believe how drastic a difference in playability, resonance, and overall performance that all of these adjustments have made. Playing guitars a half turn of the truss rod looser than they should have been is like playing with bricks tied to your fingers lol. Shred City here we come! Can't thank you enough!

Thank you so much for your efford on this video. It helped so much! Yesterday I bought my first floyd rose guitar ever and with your video I manged to change the string gauge, tune it down to D-Standard and set it up properly. Thank you! Keep going on with your videos!

I saw videos about floyd rose all have to say that was the best..thanxs !!!!!!!+++++++

Big thanks to this now my problem is solved. Keep it up man

great video man. many thanks

Great info bro. Awesome video.🎸🎶

Thanks for your hard work!!

Such a good video thank you sir

Nice brother. The best i have ever seen.

Nice job! I'm starting a tear down today!

Excellent Video, Thank You!

Awesome video ! Thankyou so much

Really well made video.

A year later, and now playing hqckson with floyd rose special this method really works. Thank you

Awesome! Thanks for this!!! I only have 1 suggestion. & that is to stretch the strings immediately after putting them on. It might help to reduce the frustration of the new strings constantly going out of tune. Other than that, you did well! Happy Playing, Friend & Thanks Again :)

Thanks Al this was great ... also if it's a bolt on neck make sure the bolts are tight .. and under the nut locks, the nut has 2 screws make sure they are snug too. Rock On ♫ ♫ ♫ !

This is simply the best and most thorough tutorial on Floyd Rose setup! I just finished my very first build of my own custom guitar (I bought Ibanez-style DIY kit from US), and this guide helped me to perform the final steps very fast and efficiently! Thanks a lot, Al, for sharing your experience!

Wonderful tutorial friend! I liked a lot the illustrations and pics

Good job brother! Thank you thank you.

I'm fs beginner. I was very confused at first. I listened to your explanation, followed it one by one, and now I am a fan of fs. even though I'm a guitar beginner. If know the strengths of the fs guitar,I don't need another type of guitar. thanks for your video. already subscribed. Do it too or not. have a happy time friend.

Awesome tutorial, very thorough. Loved the 3 string tying examples, i have always done type b, i'm going to try type a, your preferred way next time. I have been putting off intonation for about 5 years now, i just wish i could put up a "30 minutes later" sign and have it all done... Thanks for the inspiration mate!

Great tutorial. Thanks, man.

Gratitude & Appreciation 🎸 💯

Great instruction.

Had been searching for this video and finally got it😆

Sir! Many many thanks! 😍😍 this was the best vedio sir!

Thank you for the detailed video! It is almost impossibble the make a video that covers all points of setting up a guitar expecially with a floyd rose bridge. I would add some personal points to the topic: 1. If the nut is too high the main problem is that the notes freted at the 1. and 2. fret will go very sharp, they are usually a bit sharp (you would need tempered nut and tempered frets to avoid this) but with a perfect nut hight it is more torelable. 2. Truss rod, just to clarify it: it does practically what you said: it counters the string pull effect on the neck. What it really does: if you thingten it it brings the fretboard closer to the strings, if you loosen it it will bring the fretboard away from the strings. The neck it self is usually rockhard maple/mahagony the fretboard is much thinner and usually softer, the truss rod could never put a bow to the whole neck it just adjust the curve of the fretboard, this is why adjusting the truss rod has so little effect on the 1-3 frets and on the 15-24 frets. 3. Micro tilt does what you said and this helps (mostly) to get better action on the 17-24 frets. 4. Exotic string winding is not that important with a locking nut, but I found the best method the "John Carruthers" way, just search for it, it is another way of locking the strings to the tunning pegs. 5. Forget any mesurments. I know this is not really a help for total beginners, but later on you should never ever measure anything on a guitar, just go by feel.

Incredibly helpful man, greatly appreciate it. I feel like I could apply for guitar tech jobs after watching this video

Damn bro. This video is saving my life right now for real....Thank you for struggling so we don't have to. 🙏

Very nice. Thanks.

Setting Up A Floyd Rose (an exercise in patience) Thanks so much!

First time operating a guitar with a Floyd Rose here Thank you so much! If it weren't for you're video, I would have broke all my strings by now. Very helpful!

So far the best tutorial on the matter. Put some likes folks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
