Floyed Tuning

[Pigsnatcher]

Ok I don't much about how a floyed trem works exacually but I have the basic idea. My question is: if everything is set up for e tuning and I decied to drop down to e flat will I need to adjust the floyed settings? Will I need to adjust the set up? Thanks.

I spelled floyd wrong didn't I

If it's setup for full floating you will have to adjust the springs so the floyd is not leaning backwards after down tuning.

Unlock the nut, tune down a half-step, adjust the springs so the bridge is level, check tuning, lock nut, you're good to go.

Your intonation will be SLIGHTLY different as well. Most people wouldn't notice it anyway.

Or you could set the fine tuners for Standard E so that you could just drop down to Eb using them, and not unlocking the nut.

Unfortunately, this means you'll have to practically bury the fine tuners in E and they'll be almost totally out to get to Eb.

It takes practice, but once you get it set, it'll last a while.

Yep, what everyone said, you'll have to adjust the springs in the body to get the bridge level when you tune down. Its not that much work to do.
