QUOTE(Rikipu @ Jan 4 2009, 05:47 PM) hi everyone, just got my guitar  LTD MH-50! (although it might be a bit more to the metal side...) its got a floating bridge o.o, but i can get my friends to teach me how to fix it anyway  thanks for all your suggestions anyway! cheers! beginner & FR is not a good combo. you'd do better with an MH-NT. well, i guess it's too late. just try not too abuse it too much because a good licensed FR is hard to come by. |

QUOTE(Rikipu @ Jan 5 2009, 03:51 PM) alright, i guess so. tuning and changing the strings will be a bit of a problem eh? gonna have to unlock those locks on top and all.. well it's not a real problem if you know what you're doing. just make sure you use the same string gauge. changing the amount of tension will require you to rebalanced the trem block <-- this is the hard part. |

QUOTE(Rikipu @ Jan 10 2009, 08:51 PM) ill keep that in mind, thanks. only problem is we have to unlock those locks on top everytime we wanna tune them, guess ill have to bear with it. thanks note that down tuning will cause the bridge to loose tension and start moving close to the body (not balanced). therefore you will also need to adjust the bridge. an FR guitar is really not the guitar to experiment different tunings with. to down tune, you need to: 1. unlock nuts 2. down tune 3. check bridge balance 4. adjust springs to compensate lost tension of strings (depending on how much down tune) 5. lock nuts 6. fine tune it's not something anyone would like to bear for too long  . there's a trick that'll allow u to use the fine tuners to down tune, but you'll need to setup your FR nicely.
