Tuning a guitar with a floyd rose half a step down?
Alright so basically I start with the low E string and tune each string down half a step, but then after that the low E string that I tuned down is back to a normal E note, not D#. Also, when I tune each string down, the floyd rose mechanism on the body of the guitar goes too low. What's the proper way to tune each string down half a step on a floyd rose?
Ok,this is what you need to do,but keep in mind that if you want to tune it back to E your gonna have to do this all over again,or use a capo on the 1st fret.
1st if you have a locking nut unlock it,you might as will take the locking screws and locks all the way off,so they don't get in the way,or lost.
Next set all of your fine tuners on the bridge to the center of their travel,then tune the guitar to E using only the tuners on the headstock.
Flip your guitar over and take off the rectangular backing plate in the center of the guitar,save the screws.
You should see,2-4 springs that hook into the bottom of your tremolo and hook to a plate that as 2 larger screws anchored into the body of the guitar.
flip your guitar back over and look at the tremolo from the top edge of the guitar(as if you were playing it standing up).you are looking for the level(midway)point of the tremolo.It should be close if you are tuned to E.
Now tune your guitar(tuners on the headstock only) to E flat.The tremolo level should sink(as if you were pulling up on it).this is because when you slacken the tension in the strings .The spring tension pulls them tighter.
Now flip the guitar back over and loosen each anchor screw a whole turn only.
Retune the guitar to E flat,work the tremolo throughly,retune to E flat,and check the level.If you need to adjust the level use the anchor screws.Just make sure that you turn each one at this point only a half a turn in the same direction.then retune,work the tremolo,retune and check the level.
Don't get in a hurry as this is a tedious process,and dont use new strings to do this as they will strecth and you'll have to do it again,keep the cover off for a couple of days as you will likely have to make small adjustments.
It is worth doing though,And I have 4 of my electrics(with floyd rose trems)each one set at different tunings(E,Eb,DropD,DropC#),basically its just a balancing act of string tension and spring tension.Actually once you do it enough you actually get good at it,It only takes me about 30 minutes,now.But I've been doing it for at least 20 years.Good luck and if you have any probs,Zap me an Email.
P.S>if you think you can't do it,take it to a tech b-4 you start.A tech will probably charge you $40-50 bucks,and you might have to make minor adjustments,but if you take it to the tech after you start it will be more $.Oh and you don't have to lock it down everytime you retune it just after you get it dialed in.Later
One more thing the tuning process will be faster in you tune both E srings and alternately tune each string towards the middle.I.E. tune 6th,tune1st,tune5th,tune2,tune4th,tune3rd,tune6th,tune1st get it.
