I'm getting my first Floyd Rose guitar probably at the end of this week,and i've heard a lot of people say that tuning a Floyd Rose guitar is very strenous.I'm a noob about this,as explained above,so can anyone help me shed some light on this?Like how is it difficult?Thanks!

It's easy to tune, I swear by floyds. Just gotta make sure you overtighten or undertighten to compensate for the other strings being tuned as well, it's an intuitive thing.

How to restring when you want to clean your fretboard?. Still take the string off one at a time?.

heh cleaning fretboard i do it with the strings on, the other option is to take off all the strings and springs, the string it back together, putting in 2 strings when you put in 1 spring (in the case of 3 springs)

Dude - try this:

Put trem arm on trem.

Flip guitar over. Sit guitar on lap, pushing the trem INTO the body using the trem arm.

Remove all springs.

Carefully lift guitar with hand holding trem in.

Remove trem. (strings still on)

Clean fretboard. Add inlays. Refret a couple of frets. Add binding.

Hook trem back on posts, flip guitar over, hold trem in, sit guitar on lap, use leg & trem arm to push trem in.

Replace springs.

You're probably still in tune.

Damn you! That's an idea! Why didn't I think of it! Bloody brilliant solution, thanks!

No problem.

Just watch the trem when the springs are off. The thing is loose and can ding your guitar - badly.
