I'm Fucking LIVID

[Jak Angelescu]

Yeah restringing a floyd rose is just one of those terrifying things you just kinda have to do. Like ripping off a band-aid. I think my guitar teacher at the time had to show me about 4 times before I had the nerves to finally attempt it on my own. Just take it one step at a time! If you are still not able to get it restrung and recording day is approaching, message me directly! You ain't gonna be pushing that recording date back! Not on my watch!

Thanks Hector

Sorry that's happening. I have to restring my Syn custom and I want to put 10-52s on (currently has 10-46) so I'll be right there with you learning how to do this and it's scary. But I'm really glad to see I'm not the only one who names my guitars. My strat is Gypsy, my accoustic is Nomad, my Syn is Nightingale (the only female), my bass is Dumb Bitch, and my pawn shop Ibanez is Junky.

Hope you get things sorted before Friday Jak! Taming a Floyd can be a frustrating challenge, but like most challenges the more you do it the easier it gets. Dive in and get those hands dirty, you can do it.

We don't have Guitar Centre here in Australia, so can't comment from experience, but from what I have heard on other forums they are best avoided. I would suggest finding a good local luthier to look after your future set up and repair needs. Most independant music stores will be able to point you in the direction of a few.

my bass is Dumb Bitch

Dude you Just got a good laugh Out of me.
My First guitar - a White Ibanez - was named Nancy, my Red beauty is Cassie
I named my Brothers acoustic guitar on which I started playing Alex Black, cuz it's a Martin lx black and my Bros Name ist Alex

Watch my floyd video I linked earlier. A big part of why it was so long was changing string gauges and tuning.

Hope you get it fixed Jak, Im sure you will get it done before Friday. Im new to Floyd Rose Ive watched the music is win video before and seemed doable but I will have a try soon. I might change string gauge so I will have a look at Ed's video too, thanks for sharing

 

[Schmidtrock]

Hmm, sounds like Mr. Rose is something I'll want to avoid in future GAS attacks....

 

[Schmidtrock]

Good luck with this Jak, I have all the confidence in the world you can do it!

 

[Ezequiel Romanko]

that sucks! i hope you can fix it in time Jak! cheers!

Absolutely Ed, I already have it saved for when the time comes!

 

[Jak Angelescu]

I did it!! For the most part I love you guys!

Cant believe they wont refund you. Terrible customer service. I once broke bass strings first.time setting it up. I complained to them and theynknstantly refunded me a new pair. Now thatsngood service. It was my fault too.

That Sucks!

Where did it snap? Bending is generally a tricky thing with string snapping but it can also be that there's something sharp pointing out in the saddle which causes the string to break, it's a little bit shitty that the luthier didn't do it properly

I think @Ed Seith made a video about restringing a Floyd rose but I'm not sure. I just know that when you want to restring. Floyd rose you should put something in between the body and the Floyd rose to make sure it stays parallel with the body

Also, you know guitars are female right

That's right! Guitars are female!

I'm just so upset. They're not refunding my money or replacing the strings. I essentially threw out the window $110. They're willing to have another tech fix it but they're not gonna replace my strings and at this point I'm beyond fucking mad and don't know if the next genius is going to do the same thing. I'm just getting broken-hearted because shit keeps preventing us from getting into the studio and I'm just so frustrated

That really sucks! Such BS. Not smart in the long run, they should make sure clients are happy so they come back. I hope you get Anubis ready in time. We love you Jak, stay strong. We all empathize with your frustration.
