Locking Nut.
.
Guitars that come with a Floyd Rose Vibrato System feature our specially designed locking nut. This nut locks the strings and guarantees
tuning stability even during extreme use of the Floyd Rose Vibrato System.
When stringing and / or tuning a guitar with a Floyd Rose Vibrato System keep the following steps in mind:
First Step:
Cut off the string’s ball end and insert the string between the saddle and the string holder block of the Floyd Rose Vibrato System and tighten
the string stopper screw.
Second Step:
Feed the strings through the nut and under the loosened pressure pads.
Tune the guitar with the nut still unlocked. Keep in mind that the overall tuning with an unlocked nut is actually below the correct pitch. When
the pressure pad screws are tightened the strings will tune up slightly due to the additional pressure.
Third Step:
Once the guitar is tuned, tighten the screws on the locking nut pressure pads with the supplied Allen wrench.
Fourth Step:
Fine tuning is done with the fine tuning screws of the Floyd Rose Vibrato.
5) Pickup Setup
The factory setup for the pickups is such that pressing the lowest and highest string at the highest fret will create a distance of 2 mm between
strings and pickup.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the pickup height.
The closer the pickup is to the strings, the higher the output and the sustain decreases. Normally the bridge pickup should be closer to the
strings.
