Hey man! So lets say i wanted to go to Drop C or even lower ... Would i want to loosen the coils in the back a lot?

Author BrilliantMuppetSex69 (4 days)
if u would take it to a shop and they would do it for u they would at a bit more neck on because the tuning is so low it will mess with the truss rod, im sure ur guiatr is fine but if you want to keep it in C# i would recommend u take it to a shop so they can do it correctly, not saying u did anything wrong by the way

but my truss rod was once in the tighten position(when it was standard E) now i have lowered to standard C#,and you're saying it could be a problem to tighten it to the position were it once was?

I wanted to lower the tuning on my custom RG, but there are 2 problems. One, The highest gauge I could find is 0.10 (which I know, is going to be all wobbly if used for drop c), and second, the blokes at my local music shop said that for drop C, I should ADD a fourth spring (instead of removing one). Help?

Author BrilliantMuppetSex69 (6 days)
well there is a saying that is "ounce u go to C, u never go back" because if u do everything correctly, u have to tighten the trust rod because it's such a low tuning and at a bit more neck on so, u'll mess up ur guitar if u do it wrong

this literally makes no sense. Why would you use the business cards and tune from the back? It is no different then tuning from the top, tightening the nuts and then using the fine tuners. Also he's tuning the guitar standing vertical which will loose tune when played horizontal. So confused why he'd make this video.

the d tuna actually will not work on a floyd because of how long the device is, you wont be able to bend the strings backwards if that makes sense, youll only be able to dunk the bar, which if thats what you wanna do why have a floyd in the first place?

Is it ok if you dont tune from the back of the guitar? seems like more work that goes into doing this, I just tune to whatever tuning i want and then mess with the claw screws and continue to go back and forth until the bridge is level, when its level I tune it once more and then lock down the nut then use my fine tuners to tune it into perfect pitch. Is this an alternate way of doing this or just the wrong way?

For the love of god, it's a pain in the ass to retune your guitar.
Either get a fixed bridge or have multiple guitars with different tunings.

why on earth would you play bullet in A?

Author Cameron Clark (1 month)
If am wanting to play stuff like slipknot in drop B and then bullet for my val in A for example, would I be better off getting a fixed bridge?

Author Isiah Drew (1 month)
Because it's a floating bridge. Tuning it like a regular guitar would case the bridge to not work properly because every time you tune one string the tension from that one stirng changes causing the whole bridge to move. Therefore, it's easier to tune the way he showed it.

Why is this necessary? Why couldn't they just make them tune like normal guitars? I don't understand?

well, SUPERMAN, Floyd rose origionals (include the titanium, 1000 series, and special models) are made in Germany by Schaller. thats what ive been told. Gotoh may have made something of the sort but not that i know of.

This is terrific, Thanks for leaving it up as long as you have. It worked great tonight on my BC Rich and I even got the action lower than the set up job I paid 100 bucks for. I have another guitar I want to tune to drop C. What do you suggest? Same way? What about springs? Should I go with two or three in the back?

I've never adjusted the springs in a floyd rose to drop tune no matter the gauge of strings, just unlock the low E strings part of the locking nut then lower it a step, you might have some fine tuning to do or whatever but just make sure all your strings are locked with the short end of the allen key that was my biggest mistake.

before making any adjustments with the springs measure the distance from the screw heads in the cavity to where the cavity ends , this saves a lot of time

Hey King....has you or anyone you know put the EVH Drop D Tuna on a original (inset) Floyd Rose? I was speculating that the only way was to use a router to make the low E string's recess longer. I play everything from church music to SlipKnot and it sucks not having a floyd but it sucks not being able to drop tune. I'm getting a drop tuning pedal and I I can install the Tuna...I'll have most tunings covered. Thanks for the vid!
