that Raisans link was exactly what I needed right now, thanks.

I figured this thing out, and I don’t mind the tuning lock anymore. I think it’s actually quite cool and unique now.
I didn’t know anything about this kind of bridge or anything, and when I took the old strings off and put new strings on, it would not tune. The floating bridge was also flat against the guitar, when I know I’ve seen it floating with the old strings on. I found this web page showing how to tune a floyd rose, and learned that with new strings, you need to tune from low to high, over and over again, multiple, multiple times. It took me 10-15 rounds of tuning to finally get it. With each pass, the strings become tigher and tigher, and the bridge slowly moves up into balance. Once you can go from low to high, and they’re still in tune, you lock down the nuts on the lock and fine tune with the 6 knobs on the bottom. Right now, it’s perfectly in tune with a standard tuning. I used the tremolo bar last night, going both up and down with it, and it’s really cool.

here’s some links I used:

I found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremolo_arm#Locking_tremolo”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremolo_ar … ng_tremolo and it’s really helping me out.

thanks for all the input.
After having the guitar for a couple days now, I can say that I don’t like that ‘tuning lock’ one bit.
It is a pain to loosen it, tune the guitar, tighten it back up, then fine adjust with the knobs.

If I remove the tuning lock, tighten those knobs all the way down, then tune the guitar, will that be ok ?
I also don’t want to destroy the guitar by removing the tuning locks, so is it wise for me to remove them ?

thanks a lot. So you think that the top and bottom are not original pieces?

He also gave me a Fender Sidekick 15 mini amp, and a Fender hard plastic black guitar case.

If they have my email, that means the user database is compromised.
The passwords in the database are encrypted with MD5, but that can be overcome, so I hope the users on Lou’s forum, use different passwords than their email address on Lou’s forum.
I would change your email passwords just to stay safe

And the emails were sent from the Admin section on the website. Sent from someone who logged on as Chris, and did a ‘mass email.’
