6 string floyd rose

Zepher · 12-14-2007, 06:48 PM

Hey guys. I dont use my 6 string enough and I fear it'll fade into obscurity one i get my newest 7 if i dont change something. I wanna try to tune it to B standard or something silly like that, but the floyd is giving me a hell of a time. Anybody have a suggestion of what string gauge i should use?
Thanks

What do you mean by "it's giving me a hell of a time"?

why not just learn some songs on your guitar in whatever tuning its in, or try writing some songs on it?

Try tuning it in Open C (CGCGCE), that'll really open it up for you.

As for guage, try 10-52 or maybe 54-56 for B standard, those should work fine

Sorry should have been more specific, its just a problem of tension and keeping the bridge level. I used to tune to D flat with 10's and a floyd, but that was a while ago. 10-56 may work.
As for writing songs on it... i do, but i like to make changes every now and then to keep things interesting lol.

You will need to either screw in the claw screws in the back further into the body or just get another spring for the back. I tuned my buddy's RG350DX to B and it needed another spring as he went from 9-46 to 10-58 in B.
