*Note: Guitar Porn.* Restringing a Floyd Rose.

I'd usually take my guitar to the shop when anything's screwy for maximum care, but unfortunately today I had the urge to do it myself.

The thing with floyd rose guitars is, the tuning. One fucked up string and there goes the whole guitar.

And the process of restringing a floyd rose, redundant and boring.

The strings used are D.Addario 10s. Great gauge and strings for hybrid blues/metal playings.

Upon reaching the G string; I realised I couldn't cut the string. Fuck. How the hell am I supposed to cut the rest of the thicker bass strings now? ( To start off restringing a floyd rose, you must cut the string ball off. Yes, balls. Apparently not for all guitars.)


Stuck now with half stripped guitar. Poor Stephy. Gonna get me a string winder and cutter tomorrow, hopefully.

Stripped head of Etiennette. Jackson. Beautiful isn't she?

Stephy stripped. Ah.

For the E and B strings I used yes, a nail clipper.

At the start.
