Floyd Rose Video

Does anyone know of a place were there is a video that shows you how to restring a guitar with floyd rose? I have the strings on and I have loosened the tention from the springs (back of guitar). Do I just tune the strings, then tighten the springs, then tune the strings, tighten springs, ect. untill its level and strings are tight? Also when tunning, I have the nut locks at the top of the neck. How far below standard tunning do i tune the strings, so that when I tighten the nut lock, the tunning with be 1/2 down step of standard (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb). Thanks

just tune, set springs, tune, set spring, until the tremolo is at an even leven, so that its not sticking up or down., then it should be good.

when u tune make sure u UNLOCK the nuts at the head, then tune the guitar, lock the nuts, retune with the fine tuners, and it should be good.

hope u understand what im trying to say, my explaining is kinda lousy

Are the fine tunners the turn knobs at the top? I have them all the way screwed in right now. Do I tune it to regular tunning, then clamp the nut lock (causing the tunning to increase) then release the knobs to bring the pitch back down?

Also when I tune and do the springs, should I tune, then put the nut locks on, set prings, loosen the nut lock, tune, set nut lock, adjust springs, etc.?

look at your bridge... see the little circles? those are fine tuners, they are for adding the last little bit of pitch on the guitar and work almost the same as the normal tuners... make sure they are centered out. tune the guitar to what tuning you wish to have it in, lock the nut, then tune again but use the fine tuners instead of the normal tuners.
