theoretically, u can block the trem first, then tune to drop D, then remove the block, then readjust the string tension and fine tuning.

u can't just tune to standard E and drop to D later on. it must be done in one time to maintain the spring tension.

here's what happened to my friend:
he sent his guitar to guitar collection 1 utama to get his strings changed and everytime they screw up his guitar(either action too high or intonation goes off etc) but this time they didnt return his truss rod cover
what's worse is they almost ripped him off like hell! he wanted 10-46 strings and the fella told him "ok we can change for you but we'll have to charge you RM48 cuz gotta adjust the truss rod etc so total will be RM9x"

that is absolutely absurd.. wanna chop people until like that.. in the end my friend settled for 9-46, no extra charge =/

Why don't just say change the strings, but truss rod no need to adjust? It's not like you 100% need a truss rod adjustment, it's still playable without one.

they were BSing stuff, just wanted to chop him

yay.. after spend 2-3 hour changed and tuned my guitar at last i can get the right tune. I notice that when using the 10-52 the floyd rose float too high, so i adjust the 'spring holder' and make the floyd float the same level with the body. Am i did the right thing here ?

yeah... on your bridge there is an indicator. . . it should be in line with the body

wat tuning do you play in?

What do you guys think bout getting an Ibanez RGR320EX which comes with an Edge III tremolo and blocking the trem after a few months(I heard many complains bout the trem)?I like the guitar,but the trem sucks from what I've heard.I don't think I'll really need the trem anyway.

why dont u buy a guitar without a floating bridge?

there's a fixed bridge version of the RGR320EX...same design, everything's the same except for the bridge only

if you dont use the wham then get a fixed bridge. . . tone wise sustain and all > floating bridges xD

yea get a fixed bridge.
my choice at that range, even tho i dont like ibanez, is the RG321MH.
at least its made from mahogany, not basswood

me? drop C ... i like to play metalcore

line6 pocket pod is in at ck, RM588 list.

how about toneport gx?

that one dunno cos not interested

does that mean u are interested in the pocket pod ???

no, just means i got ZERO interest in the toneport.
my korg pandora is serving me well enough anyway.

the pocket pod has no metronome, i think

My volume knob is stuck =/ was initially loose and now it cannot be moved. Is it a small problem? Tomorrow having an audition, so cant really send it to a tech now.

hmm that sounds annoying

especially if you control your output often

=/

tried wd40 yet??
