Nope, your bridge has to be set up for that exact tuning...you don't want to change the tuning without adjusting the claw (which is what tightens or loosens the springs) and getting it properly set up first. It's not rocket science but definitely don't try that unless you want to rip your hair out or spend forever attempting to get it back to the tuning you started with. On a Floyd (at least a floating one) you can't just change tunings on the fly without a problem, that's just how they work. Floating bridges period.

Glad it helped!

You're most welcome, glad it helped! 🤘🤘

Glad it helped! It's really simple, but if you don't know what to do it seems difficult. Long as it's properly set up you should have 0 problems. 🤘🤘

Thanks, this guitar is beyond most I've played in over 30 years. It's just flat out amazing in every way. I can't think of anything I dislike about it. I have 10 other Ibanez guitars and they're all badass but overall this is my best guitar I have currently. 🤘🤘

Glad it helped!

Not absolutely necessary honestly. The trem will function without it, just easier to use with one.

Glad it helped! A Floyd if properly set up is easy to operate, just need someone who's familiar with them to guide you. 🤘🤘

Thank you! 🙏

Can you explain how you went about it? If your Floyd isn't properly set up then it won't get or stay in tune. Please elaborate.

You're most welcome, thanks for tuning in and glad it helped!

Sorry for late reply! No it isn't possible, unless the bridge is blocked (meaning it doesn't float or flush mounted). You need all the strings on it at all times. Without one it'll never tune up (as long as it floats). Yes you would have to increase the spring tension to get the bridge to tune up properly from C# standard to drop C as there's a half step difference on every string. You can't just change tunings on the fly with a floating bridge because the string AND the spring tension HAS to be balanced for the system to work properly. Once you get it there it'll settle in, but if you're going to change it you have to readjust and allow time for it to settle into the new tension. Depending on what gauge of strings you'll be using you will have to adjust for that as needed (the action, neck, etc.) too. I'm guessing you likely figured it out by now but if not I hope this comment helped. Thanks for tuning in! 🙏🤘🤘

@SethWorsham thank you! Yes I did figure it out and I blocked the bridge and realized that it will stay in tune but I had to have different tension on the springs on the back since the tension wasn't symmetrical but the intonation was awful but it got the job done and I ended up actually figuring out that the tapped hole where the tightening screw goes in on the high e saddle was stripped and wouldn't hold the block against the string strong enough to keep it from slipping out so I'm getting a replacement. This was my first Floyd rose and I learned a lot and that ultimately it is extremely easy to tune it as long as the bridge is blocked both ways then tighten or loosen the tensioning springs in the back until the blocks fall out on their own or the strings are in tune then just give the micro tuners a little bit of an adjustment and that the only real issue is making sure the truss rod isn't out of wack

Glad to help. My pleasure! 🤘🤘

They are amazing, glad you love yours so much!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I see so many videos that don't just get straight to the point. Much appreciated!

You'd have to adjust the spring tension, since the heavier strings have a higher tension on them. I'm not a tech though, so giving advice on how to do it in just a comment even if I knew how wouldn't be enough. I'm sure there's plenty of videos on here showing in detail how to go about it. Just search for "changing string gauge on a Floyd Rose" or something close. Appreciate you checking out and thanks for the compliment! Best of luck.

Lesson room at my music store 😉🤘🤘

Any time!

You're welcome!

It makes it so you have the same amount of adjustment for every string. I believe I mentioned that in the video. 🤘🤘

You're most welcome! 🤘🤘

I used to have tremolo stabilizers in all my Floyds, the only advantage to them was when you broke a string you were reasonably still in tune and could at least finish the song before having to change it or swap guitars. They make the bridge super stiff and are very difficult to install however. I didn't believe a floating Floyd or bridge could actually stay in tune either, until I met a master tech who truly made a believer out of me regarding that. So yes you can block it but it's no longer fully functional. There's also the tremol-no and other products that are good for that. But if you have a junk/low quality Floyd it's pointless to bother with. Junk hardware gives you nothing but problems and instabilities especially with tuning. Most people think tuning one of these is some kind of task you need a degree in astro physics to accomplish and I truly don't understand why. It's VERY simple. Obviously a lot of people are still confused so I'm glad this video helped so many. If you don't need or use the tremolo I'd advise against getting one. Myself I don't use it that much even though I have a lot of guitars with this kind of bridge. It is great for what it allows you to do however. Vibrato on chords, extreme dives and raises, harmonics, spastic insanity, etc. To each their own but if it's that hard for you I have to guess it's one of a few things - 1) you're not doing it correctly (consult the video and see if you missed something) 2) your bridge isn't properly set up 3) you have a cheap Floyd and/or hardware. Anyway, best of luck. I find the most who complain about them don't take the time to learn how to properly operate and/or use them. 🤘🤘

@@SethWorsham yes on both accounts there- crappy dime dean razorback was on, the other was my first guitar- a Cort X-9. Licensed/knock off floyds-

What does this video not help you with? Please explain.

You're welcome! 🤘🤘

No problem!

Wow, that's amazing! Do you have all 5 of them plus a duplicate of one?

@@SethWorsham yeah, i have all 5… and i have one now that i just got painted to the another day color because it was all messed up (long story short)😅 i light have a problem…🥲
