Can anyone give me tips on restringing a Floyd rose for the first time

[Garin Miller]

Normally I pay the 30 – 40 to have guitar center do it but this time I wanna Save money. This will be my first time doing it myself.

I don’t have a guitar with a floyd rose, but did you already give youtube a try? This one seems helpful to me

put a batter under your bridge. It’s about the same height.. a big square (D battery?) when you’re done simply raise the bar pull the battery out, and the springs will adjust to whereever you had them last.

I love the flip he does with the string winder lol

Try to have something between the body and the floating bridge to keep it steady. Also try to stretch the strings as much as possible before you play it otherwise the tuningstability will be horrible.
Hope his helps!

Watch the video that Dominik shared. That’s how I learned and it’s amazing!

For your first time, just be patient and gentle. The video listed above was the one I watched and it was very helpful. Once you get the hang of it you can do it in like ten minutes, but for a first-timer it will take a lot longer. Just be gentle with the saddles to make sure they don’t pop out.

Thanks everyone!

It’s a pain in the ass. Take your time and after a few times doing it you’ll be a pro at it trust me.
