REMOVING SPEEDLOADER GUITAR STRINGS *For use with SpeedLoader™ bridges only.

Please note: SpeedLoader strings are offered in two scale lengths: 25.5inches and 24.75 inches. If you're not sure what scale length your guitar is, consult the guitar manufacturer or the store where you purchased the guitar.

Make sure you have purchased the correct scale length strings for your guitar. The string scale length appears in the lower left corner of the string package.

To purchase strings go to: www.floydrose.com or ask for them at your local dealer.

Step 1:

To replace a string, push down on the back of the saddle of one of the strings.

Step 2:

Then, pull back on the sliding latch by placing the first finger of your free hand on the black knob protruding out the back of the saddle then placing your thumb on the fin sticking up just behind the fine tuner screw and pull the latch back with a pinching action between the thumb and first finger.

Step 3:

Once you have pulled back on the sliding latch, release the saddle and allow it to rotate forward.

Step 3:

If this part is missing stop right here and get one installed by a qualified guitar repairman.You can get this part from www.floydrose.com.

Depending on the guitar you purchased, the tremolo stop may or may not be engaged with the spring block.

We will assume it is not engaged and show you how to engage it.

Take the 3mm Allen wrench and turn the setscrew until it touches the spring block.

Step 4:

Now, tighten the springs with the spring claw screws so the spring block is pulled tightly against the setscrew.

Step 5:

Another way to pull the spring block against the tremolo stop set screw is to add another spring to the spring block and claw. Using this method is preferred because it will be easier to re-float the tremolo after setting up the bridge.
