the bridge gets me acting up fr
💀💀(sorry idk what iam saying)
trail zephyr
this is the one i should goo with shouldnt i?
Yeah go with the ibanez
stuck topaz
You can always upgrade
shut flint
You're gonna have to learn about the locking system
fooking hell yeah i should
trail zephyr
20 minutes of fucking around with it and you will figure it out
shut flint
ok so the ibanez which is 477 and id buy the600w amp which is 345 bucks
thats a total of 822
ill still have 428 bucks
shut flint
Bro the amp is nearly as much as the guitar
fr u think thats wrong or smthn?sorry its my first time doing this shit
stuck topaz
Nah bro it alr
shut flint
i rlly mean it dont mean to be mean i care for ur advice haha
the amp has to be worth it though
shut flint
ill still have 428 bucks
those ill either pack aside or also invest in music and shit what u think?
stuck topaz
Yeah I mean you gotta buy a cable for the amp
shut flint
those ill either pack aside or also invest in music and shit what u think?
(the wah pedal and shit are looking at me seductively tbh)
stuck topaz
To plug it into the guitar
shut flint
Yeah I mean you gotta buy a cable for the amp
i already have one aint those 15 bucks or i need to buy an expensive one?
i mean i already do have a cable
shut flint
There is a wah on the guitar
still though wah pedal is diff fr
stuck topaz
I guess
shut flint
ok so ill pack the money aside
stuck topaz
i already have one aint those 15 bucks or i need to buy an expensive one?
Good cables are like 50 in australia
In ausd
shut flint
(or ill buy another guitar too)
shut flint
yeah cable strap strings and a bag too ig that would make it 200$ gone
shut flint

shut flint
Bro Japanese now
yo
since u where with me on this journey ig u desevre to know what i bought
the ibanez sold out unfortunately
BUT
shut flint
jackson baby 🔥
and i bought the line6 amp and its FUCKING GREAT
overall,iam satisfied asf
wheat sphinx
mmm jackson
vagrant finch
i was gonna say the LP because the ibanez and jaackson have shitty tremolos
too late tho 
wheat sphinx
you can block the bridge and use it as a hardtail
because the trem bridge on this = wears out quickly
shut flint
because the trem bridge on this = wears out quickly
oh wait long term its shitt?
i made this as a long term investment though 😭😭
wheat sphinx
yeah but you can always 1) block to prevent wear and 2) replace it later on
shut flint
yeah but you can always 1) block to prevent wear and 2) replace it later on
what u mean by block?😅
and tbh this floyd rose shit is confusing asf fr like literally iam very confused on how go restring and even how to fucking tune 😭😭
how do i tune my floyd rose yo?😭
wheat sphinx
what u mean by block?😅
this is how a floyd works
where string tension = spring tension to keep it in tune
this is how you block it
so the floyd (a lever system basically) does not move even when tension on 1 side changes
shut flint
so thats why it stays in thnee
tune* even when tremolo is dipped and idk what
wheat sphinx
when you use the arm youre manually adding force to 1 side
so it moves and changes string tension (thus creating the effect)
when you release the arm the tension is balanced again so it goes back
wheat sphinx
but but but!!!! heres the thing
on cheap trems they use mid materials
so this little part wears away quickly on use
and causes the lever to become goofy in behavior (aka not as stable, not returning to original position, etc)
itll still hold nicely when you dont use the trem a lot
shut flint
ah and ig mine is cheap 😭?
wheat sphinx
yeah
floyd rose:
licensed < special < 1000/1500 <= original = some very good other brand stuff
shut flint
itll still hold nicely when you dont use the trem a lot
yeah iam not planning to use it a lot anyways i cant do much divebombs and shit though right?
wheat sphinx
you can do them just dont do like 100 divebombs/day
shut flint
you can do them just dont do like 100 divebombs/day
they dont even work out with me 😭🤣
wheat sphinx
🍔
shut flint
🍔
but anyways now the tuning i have to soften those things on the nut to tune up the guitar?
iam not understandanding
or do i use fine tuners
wheat sphinx
yea cuz they hold the strings in place
shut flint
yea cuz they hold the strings in place
ah ok so i soften the tension in those so that i tune it up then relock them right??
wheat sphinx
unlock nut -> tuning at head -> spring adjusting -> repeat until its more or less right -> lock nut -> fine tuners
this is for changing tunings
for "oops it went out by a few cents" just use fine tuners
shut flint
ah ok few cents fine tuners big shit normal tuners
wheat sphinx
yeah yeah
shut flint
okayss appreciate it
wheat sphinx
❤️
shut flint
❤️
❤️thanks a lot fr
and today i experienced fr something i havent before
is that iam actually good on guitar but my gear was limited
but today i got good amp and good guitar and dman ian actually not as bad as i think

the trem on the grg is ass
oh i already bought my guitar
nimble glade

shut flint
this lol
shut flint
How much was it
600
shut flint
Also goodluck w setting that trem ip
its already set no?
i mean iam using it,wait am i doing something wrong?
nimble glade
Nah ur not
nimble glade
Floyd roses are a little finicky to maintain
shut flint
and tuning stays same like it should
nimble glade
Thats good
One warning tho is that
When a string breaks
All the strings go out of tune
When u tune one string, the others gk out of tune and u have to keep tuning til theyre all in tjne
shut flint
yeah today while tuning i realised its all or none
shut flint
🤣i tuned eb today its ok right?
nimble glade
Yup as long as the trem is parallel
shut flint
Enjoy ur new guitar tho
thabk u a lot man iam def am with the new amp too it feels fucking great fr
nimble glade
When u cjange tunings u have to change the sprjng tension and stuff
nimble glade
thabk u a lot man iam def am with the new amp too it feels fucking great fr
Hell yeah
shut flint
When u cjange tunings u have to change the sprjng tension and stuff
oh 😅
oh😅
oh😅
i may have fucked a bit up
shut flint
When u cjange tunings u have to change the sprjng tension and stuff
i only just unscrewed the theee things at the nut and then switch tunings then rescrewed them then played around with fine tuners until in tune
ahh poor jackson iam a very bad new owner to it 😅
shut flint
How to set up a floyd
kk ill look it up thx for pointing it out to me appreciate it
shut flint
@nimble glade rn i tuned it to a very low ig its called c# tuning ig a full step and a half,and well it aint parallel anymore is that a problem that might hurt the guitar or its ok??

its not good if its not parallel
itll make the trem wear out longer
when u change tuning on a floyd
you always have to adjust the bridge

yeah i saw that exact vid i have to play around with the screws everytime i change tuning and whatnob
ah it is a headache fr 😭😭
shut flint
itll make the trem wear out longer
if the trem wore out will it be fixeable?
i mean its gonna happen in the future ofc
but i made this guitar as a long term investment
ig i made a misrake didnt i 🤣
nimble glade
Well, I wouldn't say you made a mistake but uh
The trem on this guitar is very tricky if u plan to change tunings alot
nimble glade
if the trem wore out will it be fixeable?
Well, yours is a Jackson Licensed trem which
arent usually the best
so if they wear out, ur best bet is to get it replaced with something better
Since jackson trems are made with softer metals
shut flint
replace the entire bridge or the trem?
nimble glade
or any Licensed Floyd
nimble glade
replace the entire bridge or the trem?
entire bridge
shut flint
ah
shut flint
well ig i could to that on the future sure if smthn happened
nimble glade
yeah
shut flint
itll last longer
yepp i get what u mean
nimble glade
but just keep it leveled because itll also improve tuning stability
shut flint
but just keep it leveled because itll also improve tuning stability
kk appreciate the help also the guitar is awesome like fhanging just a bridge if something happened in the future wont be much of a problem
iam happy with the pick ups and such
shut flint
floyds are a hassle but they are so fun to play around with
fr today i started doing dive bomba and stuff like that
its fun asf
ig its worth the hassle
but tbh iam liking the locking tuners and tuning stability all all this
its all fucking worth it
it is a higly pkayable guitar fr
hey @nimble glade i trully appreciate the help thank u a lot u have made everything clearer fr and helped me on this floyd rose journey thanks a lot lad
