Cleaning my jackson

[mupps]

Can I take the strings off of my Floyd and leave it like a Vintage Tremolo or do I have to do something else?

Seriously though, if you take all the strings off won't it be an air guitar?
I think even guitars with vintage trems need strings. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here.

No, but will it be ok to do this for when I need to clean my guitar?

Re: Cleaning my jackson

it'll be fine. But before you take the strings off, wedge something soft under the back of the Floyd to hold the bridge up and stop it from dropping into the rout and damaging your finish.

I use a 9-volt battery wrapped in electrical tape, as prescribed by Kevin Easton in his tutorial on restringing Floyded guitars. But a fat pencil eraser would do the trick too. Or a wadded rag.
