    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.

      Actually | was surprised to find out that in practice it was super easy to work with FR compared to calibrating a vintage six-point to please you while not going out of pitch easily. If you have a good OFR/Edge type and a good setup to begin with, it's peanuts, really. They stay in tune as well as any unabused fixed bridge even when heavily abused, if all is setup ok. I love my OFR-equipped Ibanez RG (don't ask why OFR) :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!
