I can't tell you how valuable your channel is to me and my guitars. I've been using your methods for a few years and I consider your channel to be the definitive setup guide..thanks

All great advice. Unfortunately, I had to learn these things the hard way. (Where were you 35 yrs ago?!)

Every 'Rose' has it thorn! 😆

Years of wondering how to solve the locking nut/sharpened note scenario... suddenly solved forever with one video. THANK YOU! (This is why I love KZfaq so much.)

Floyd Rose was created to solve one problem of keeping the guitar in tune but the solution creates 10 other problems to keep Floyd Rose happy. It's sad.

I have been watching your Beatles isolated vocals youtube video's for years thinking wow this guy is not only an amazing singer but also breaks down each harmony like a champ and mimics the timbre of each of the fab fours tone with terrific execution. Little did I know that you could also solve my Floyd Rose tuning issues on my '94 fender talon where countless others offered no viable solution. Great channel. I wouldn't be surprised if I searched for an "Osso Buco recipe" or "How to back butter porcelain tiles with grout and your channel came up in a google search.

I have exactly the same setup on my Kramer and the same headaches..cant believe i didn't see the nut problem and see the solution..worth watching just for that. Thanks for your videos.

The first tip is the most valuable to me. I never thought to lower the retention bar. I just tuned the string a little flat before I locked down the nut. Thank you for making this video.

Good video, I've seen most of these problems, wish I had your video back then. I even returned a guitar because of open string buzz. Because of Luthiers like you I went from being afraid to adjust my truss rod to fully re-fretting a 1984 Kramer. Thanks for all you do!!

I just discovered your channel and solved 2 things i couldn't understand because i'm only 2 years into guitars.I'm very curious by nature and always liked to understand what i'm working on whether it's at work or in my hobby,i like to fix things the right way so imagine how grateful i am to have found why the open string buzz or the string coming sharp when locking the nut.A big big thank to you for sharing your knowledge.

This has got to be one of the most informative and best videos on fr problems. Thanks

Just restringed my Floyd Rose and was super happy to find this video to solve all the problems I am having. I definitely didn't screw my string retainer enough and I had a bit of a tuning change when locking the strings in.

I'm new to the floyd rose bridge and have experienced several of the problems you described. I've been searching for answers on you tube and I'm excited to saw you answered them!!! Thank you so much. I'm now a new subscriber!!

Fantastic video thank you! After years of frustration playing Gibson, Fender, PRS, and other guitars that would not stay in tune, now I only play Floyd Rose guitars. This design is complex and does require a specific knowledge base to maintain tuning and intonation, but from my experience playing guitar for 50+ years the effort required to learn how to fix the issues presented in this video is a small price to pay for perfect tuning and intonation! Thank you my friend for taking the time to share your wisdom with us!

I love you man!!! This buzz from the open high E was driving me nuts, but this trick helped. Pushing the string to one side didn't help, but pushing it to the other did solve the problem. Simple solution, but big relief. Huge thanks!!!

God bless my friend..thanks for posting this...I bought my first Floyd Rose equipped guitar last week...and yesterday I was questioning wether I made a mistake...I did not ..after coming across your video ..I realized I got the most awesome guitar..🙂

Thanks for doing this video mate! I'm a drummer just and old Jackson and you helped me understand everything I needed about Floyd Rose with this short video. Thank you so much!!!!

By far one of the best videos I've seen in regards to FR

I don't know if you will be able to see this comment but Since my very first floydrose guitar from my highschool days, and after 10 years your videos have been the perfect solution for my guitars equiped with floating trems. I can't thank you enough for these informative videos. I hope you are healthy and having a great time of your life.

Great video, Galeazzo. Your first tip worth it all, thank you.

I'm giving my Kramer Focus 2000 a tune-up. This video helped me solve issues that have plagued me for 20+ years....

Great video many thanks. I recently bought my first Floyd Rose equipped guitar, '92 Strat, and Im experiencing many of these problems, but now feel confident to put it right. 😀

Excellent video. I came back to watch it again because I forgot parts of it and was going to mess around with my Floyd Rose. Best video on the topic. Saved me some head-aches.

You are the very best luthier/tech on the whole internet. You get right to the point, with relevent information that few others would nøt share even if they were aware of such insights... and you do so without any fluff, gimmicks, or marketeering. Better yet, you are a humble and gracious soul without the annoying ego-seeking insecurities and bad habits that other 'guitar gods' put first and foremost in their videos. You make videos about guitars, and their idiosyncracies, and you educate your viewers while the other wannabes make videos about themselves, if they can stay focused at all. YOU have set a new standard, and a righteous format that all youtube channelers should seek to attain. For all of that my dear friend, you earn my highest respect. Thank you. Sincerely.

One of the most useful and educational floyd videos i have seen so far. Thanks for this!

Helpful video, thank you. I've been having issues with my floyd rose set up for years and you just solved 3 of them.

I got the new Schecter Floyd Rose 1500 on my Reaper this helped me with some issues....not a lot of instructions with the guitar but I love it. May God bless you for your generosity!

the very first fix - the lowering the string retaining bar - seems to have solved my issue. I never even considered this! You've saved my live guitar from potentially expensive messing around. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you and thank you once again. I just bought Ibanez with ZR tremolo and this video is very helpful. I've been actually looking for a way to stop open string buzzing for more than half an hour before I noticed you uploaded this :).

Very good, in particular the "sitar" effect , it is something that happens with other guitars , thx .. grazie

Thank you, I had the buzz at the nut on my floyd for ages and I was convinced it was coming from the bridge, thanks to you it's solved!

I've purchased a Floyd Rose guitar recently and even though I haven't ran into any problems so far, I enjoyed a lot this video so I'll be able to recall any of these issues if they ever happen to me and be able to solve them. Thanks!

This was the best video I have ever found explaining this stuff. This is the stuff people need to know. Once I learned how to set up a Floyd confidently ...I have no preference of guitar anymore. You have no Idea how many people ask me what a string retainer is for other then looks and when I explain it, it works as a solid conversation piece because its actually quite clever. I just wish the Floyd was as easy as a tune-o-matic to intonate. Takes a bit longer but if your into setting up guitars then I assume it's widely agreed that it's like meditation anyways. Great video!.

Awesome video. I'm doing my first full setup by myself tomorrow and I'm of course expecting trouble, this is gonna be useful. Thanks.

The buzzing on the open string has annoyed me for years, and this video really helped me! Thanks!

Everything I have learned about setup, I learned from you. Thank you!

Had those problems and no idea how to repair my guitar, thanks man that was perfect!

Thanks man! This is great stuff for me! Got to reassemble a old with a FR and I am shure those 5 are no problem anymore.

Dude. Complete game changer! Thanks so much I was really giving up on my floyd it was more tuning than playing

Awesome video! My EVH Frankie started not staying tune, especially my E string. This fixed it!!

4:47 The 3rd problem applies to the Bridge too, the same thing happened to me, and I broke a lot of strings because of that, I just sanded the sharp part and now it's perfect, also if you want better tunning stability you need to set-up the whole guitar.

Thank you for the video. I actually learned a couple things that I did not know before. And I have been doing FR set-ups for a while. Thank you again!!!!!!

This was good watch, clear, concise, and helpful.

I had the exact problem which was the first one. The string retainer was too high....amazing! Thanks a bunch!

Just got my first Floyd Rose. Super excited to learn all of it's secrets

nice video man, I am tired of people in youtube talking garbage for 30mins, glad I found your video!

Great info on the Floyd...I was jyst looking for videos on how to keep mine in best shape for tuning stability and this helped a lot to understand the various issues to be aware of and how to solve them! Thanks! 😎🎸

Best Floyd Rose setup video ever. Thank you.

Thanks man! Always very useful tricks!

Very helpful clip. I've used Floyds for many years, but I still learned a couple of helpful tips.

Greetings from Texas USA! Thank you very much for the help on this. It solves many issues for me. I am now a new subscriber and am learning more from this channel as I watch more videos. Thank you again and have a nice day

I have an Epiphone by Gibson Strat copy HSS that the factory Floyd Rose they installed disintegrated when I went to clean it. I eventually bought a new real Floyd rose> Installing it I had to plug the rocker studs and re-drill those holes twice. getting this bridge reinstalled without knowing a thing was a bear. I have encountered every one of these problems. I have watched more videos by Frudua and he has never given me miss information, and he always shares freely his knowledge. To people like myself he is a real blessing, and to my guitars. They are finally behaving the way they should. I have completely re-vamped the electrical and added Dimarzio PAF DP261FCR bridge with true Velvet middle and neck, It has push pull switches three separate tone controls Bridge is series/Parallel as well as phase switchable. The mid and neck are phase switchable. I also have a bridge neck combo switch as my 5 way super switch has two modes. This guitar after watching these videos sounds totally high dollar ! Originally bought the guitar off of e-bay and it was so unused that the plastic coating was on all the plastic covers. with Case for $90. When asked why he sold it he said he had too many guitars and was letting some of the ones he doesn't play go. I just imagine it was the Floyd rose that sealed the deal.

Good video. I love my Floyd Rose! I wanted to point out a problem I had. Mine would make a "click" sound when you pressed down the arm. Drove me crazy. Sometimes it would go away. Couldn't tell where it was coming from. Sounded like it was the springs or the bridge hitting the pick guard. In that area, or maybe the bolt on neck complaining, but it was not. It was those screws that hold on the nut. They were loose, so the whole nut was moving when I pressed down on the tremolo arm. Since most nuts are glued in place, I didn't think about it until I started doing some online research. Fixed it last night after suffering with it for years. Works great now. Smooooth and silent!! Never did have any tuning issues. Maybe that will help someone out. Cheers!

Very valuable and quite useful video. Like all existing videos that Mr. Frudua yet done, this is a really great information. I really appreciate it.

Really good info here you might not find anywhere else. Thank you!

We need more videos from you!

Excellent advice. Cheers. I wish I had found this video when I encountered my first floating bridge!!!!

Thanks for the tips for the Floyd Rose problems!

first tip blew my mind! Thanks a lot

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you.

I don't have any of these problems, but this is fascinating insight for if I ever encounter these issues.

Finally bought my first Floyd rose guitar two days ago and popped both e strings while trying to tune it and almost got discouraged, luckily I have a few friends that know how to maintain them and showed me it’s not as bad when you know what you’re looking for, yeah they’re a pain but now that my strings are stretched I’ve barely even needed to touch the fine tuners

Excellent! The sharp on locking down the nut really is a pain. Didn't know about the small plate on the underside of the bridge saddles either. Thank you!

Very enlightening and useful. Thank you.

Wow, beautiful guitar. Don't like the exposed screw threads on the string bar. Great tips, thanks 👍.

Great advice little things we can't always see and may not know unless shown.

This was incredibly useful. Thanks.

Thank you, thank you and thank you a thousand times. I am often have most of these issues and I thought it was a built in problem of the floyd rose systems. You made a child happy today. 😃

Extremely good and professional. thank you!

THANK YOU. This helped me getting my Ibanez back in tune :-)

Great video, It helped me understand why my strings have different highs and how to fix it. Thanks !!!

Thanks for the guitar wisdom.

thanks mate your vid did help me out I never new about that little brass plate that's pal

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing this knowledge.

I learned a lot in this ten minutes! Thanks!

always great videos from this guy!!!

Thank You Frudua. Your Video's are Excellent. You've helped me set up a lot of things on my Guitars. :) God Bless You

Wow, very useful tips for my favorite Floyd Rose, thank you 🎸

That's precious again, Galeazzo! You da man! :-) Two other problems I've encountered lastly, about the locking nut, the place where it rests on the neck, so the locking nut to be tighten on it, it was curved! (a shame about a brand new guitar) It involved some noise when the whammy bar was used up or down (crack! crack!) . And we could see the nut shifted lighly forward and back, E6 side . So it needed to be flatten with sandpaper and so no problem. The second one was at the level of the Floyd, about locking device of the string , the shaft which articulates this part was misfiring, so the tuning was random. Some WD 40 to put inside and so no problem.

Great, great tips Fruda, thank you much

Well explained and informative.

Fantastic advice and explanation, as always! Grazie mille!

Thank you so much. I was lost and you have helped me tremendously. Gained another sub:)

Best video I have seen on Floyd Rose issues.

Very cool! I’m going to be buying a guitar with a Floyd rose bridge soon , so this helps me understand a little bit about in advance
