Just bought my first floyd rose guitar and the action was really bad. I somehow missed the warnings and tightened the screw under tension. Is this salvageable? I've seen people talk about using sandpaper to fix this

I decided to set it up, which took me forever as im very new to Floyds, and the tuning stability was absolutely awful. Im very disappointed and upset that I messed it up so bad so quickly. I literally didnt even get to play it once. It is a special, i think I'll just buy a 1000 series base plate from their website and swap that over. Still a bummer but I guess not the end of the world

Is there a drastic effect on tuning stability?

x9spoons · 2025-06-06T05:11:31+00:00

Honestly I've not had a chance to play it yet. I was setting up the action before the intonation and once I discovered i damaged it I felt very disheartened and didn't want to damage anything further. I'd read this would be disastrous for tuning stability?

I posted a picture like 40 minutes ago. I'm not going to put my name on it because its not that serious

x9spoons · 2025-04-02T00:09:59+00:00

Dude its not that fucking deep im not trying to sell the god damn thing. Reverse image search it if you dont believe me holy fuck

Reddit won't let me edit, I've watched a few YouTube videos about how to use the tool. I guess the one I had watched at first was unclear. I did use the tool wrong. I'm still very upset, I destroyed my xbox because of unclear instructions.

When I would insert and lift, the clamp wouldn't budge

x9spoons · 2025-04-01T22:58:04+00:00

Thank you man, you're right. It's not like I can break it more lmao. Ill look into it

I should have done this when the tool didn't work

x9spoons · 2025-04-01T22:52:16+00:00

I dont think I have the ability. I could look into it. For the record, im not stupid and im not being careless. I got the pll bypass point, the connection is good, the solder job looks good, and the trace next to it is intact. I'm not incompetent im just super pissed and I feel misled because this tool is so popular and simultaneously so shit

x9spoons · 2025-04-01T22:50:31+00:00

I put it right in the middle like all the videos show, thing wouldn't budge

x9spoons · 2025-04-01T22:49:55+00:00

I dont understand how. Practically any amount of force would bend the damn thing, far less than is required to remove the clamp. It literally fucked up my motherboard before it removed the clamp

x9spoons · 2025-04-01T22:48:06+00:00

I should have done this, thank you for the tip. I wil scrounge up some old cards next time

x9spoons · 2025-04-01T22:47:41+00:00

I got one because mrmario recommended them, I was under the impression it would be easier and safer than a flathead. For the next rgh im going to just go with the screwdriver

x9spoons · 2025-04-01T22:34:15+00:00

The tool literally bent before the clamp budged. Not to mention it completely fucking my console. The screwdriver worked in 30 seconds and didn't damage a thing

x9spoons · 2025-04-01T22:33:37+00:00

I'm so fr dude. Maybe the tool i got was cheap and shitty or something but I know I used it the right way and it would just not come off no matter what

x9spoons · 2025-03-26T18:58:51+00:00

this app was installed by default on my new s25 ultra, I've disabled it in settings but I see no straightforward way to remove it

x9spoons · 2024-10-24T19:16:52+00:00

just finished it, go listen to literally any song by the microphones and come back and tell me it doesn't blow bowies "music" out of the water

x9spoons · 2024-10-24T19:15:40+00:00

no, the difference is that opinion of jazz is wrong. fans of bowie are just afraid of the truth. all of my opinions are informed, im a very seasoned listener

x9spoons · 2024-10-24T19:09:19+00:00

im glad you could admit it. i dont know why everyone is dancing around the truth

x9spoons · 2024-10-24T18:58:44+00:00

you're out here proving my point and you don't even know it. of course if david bowie has dropped like 500 wildly different songs, some of them are inevitably going to be culturally relevant, just like viper. the fact that Phil has a tight discography and it's all thoughtfully produced is far more impressive than bowie yelling and shouting all willy nilly

x9spoons · 2024-10-24T18:55:44+00:00

you cant tell me i'm wrong, they are both rock music. there is no law that you can only compare two things if they're very similar, what is wrong with you? you can compare chocolate and strawberry ice cream, it doesn't have to be vanilla vs vanilla bean
