Just found out that I got this:

But i'm on vacation right now so my parents took a picture of them posing with it.

But I have a question. I've never used a floyd rose before and Im afraid im going to fuck it up. Any tips?

Just start off slow and play around with it and use the same size strings until you learn how to properly adjust the bridge.

it's easy as fuck really. when you wanna downtune ( or not of course but want a thicker gauge string ) buy a thinker gauge strings. string it up. the bridge probably will lean forward. loosen the screws on i the back of the guitar. untill bridge is straight. re tune the guitar. keep repeating this untill guitar stays in tune and bridge is straight. afterwards you might wanna check intonation and neck relief.

To adjust neck relief fret the first fret and the 14th fret and measure the room left between the string and the top of the 7th fret. there should be a small space left. just enough to see light. if there's no space at all you need to loosen the truss rod. if there's to much space you need to tighten it.

As for intonation. tune a open string. than check the tuning while fretting the 12th fret if your tuning device gives the same note the intonation is good. if it's a bit lower you need to adjust the saddle thingy ----------> that way. if it's too high you need to adjust it <------------- that way


Edit : Nice guitar

Ok Six Feet Under, now your scaring me. Maybe its due to the fact that I dont completely know what a Floyd Rose does. I understand that it locks your strings when you use the Whammy bar, and bending and stuff like that? But I have no clue how it works. So I really have no clue what your talking about...

It keeps your guitar in tune thanks to the locking nut etc. even when dive bombing. A floyd rose is really easy. once it is setup. ( when you get the guitar it's probably setup for you ). It's just a matter of adjusting some things when you want a thicker gauge string or downtune.
