02 · The problem

A Floyd Rose has a reputation.
It doesn't have to.

Change one string and the other five drift. Touch the springs and the bridge never sits level again. Work in the right order and a double-locking trem comes back to pitch after every dive. This guide gives you that order, with the exact setup specs for your brand.

05 · FAQ

Common questions.

Is this a subscription?
No. It's a one-time payment. Pay once and the guide, including future updates, is yours. No recurring charges, nothing to cancel.
Which guitars does it cover?
Six-string electric guitars from Ibanez, ESP, LTD, Jackson, Charvel, Schecter and Cort, with a Floyd Rose or Ibanez Edge-family locking trem, a two-point trem, a hardtail, a tune-o-matic style bridge or an EverTune. 7- and 8-string, multiscale and baritone guitars aren't covered in this edition.
Where do the specs come from?
From each maker's own spec sheets, owner's manuals and support pages, listed in the guide. Jackson, Ibanez, Cort, ESP and LTD publish factory setup numbers, and you get them exactly as published. Schecter and Charvel publish none, so for those you get a clear starting spec from the closest published chart.
My Floyd Rose never stays in tune. Will this help?
Yes. The string-change chapter takes you through Floyd Rose's own tuning method, one string at a time, and Chapter 10 works down Floyd Rose's troubleshooting list in order: base plate, nut screws, string clamps, saddle screws and knife edges.
Does it cover the Ibanez Edge and Edge-Zero?
Yes. You get the key sizes for the Edge, Lo-Pro Edge, Edge III and Edge-Zero II, Ibanez's own string-change steps, action at the studs, and intonation including the Edge-Zero intonation bolt. The Zero Point System has its own section.
What tools do I need?
Metric Allen keys from 1.5 to 4 mm, screwdrivers, feeler gauges, a steel rule in 64ths and mm, a capo and a tuner. Chapter 3 lists every tool and what it’s for.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. 30 days, no questions asked. If it doesn't help you set up your guitar, email for a full refund.
What format is it?
A 57-page searchable PDF, instant download, with printable spec cards and checklists for your bench.
Will I get future updates?
Yes, free. Reopen the download link in your purchase email to get the latest edition.
