So I've been playing around with my new Dean's Floyd, and indulging in some crazy whammy shenanigans.
I find that often, the tuning goes out whether I go down or up. I'm just wondering, how much of this is because of new strings still stretching and settling?
the nut clamps are solidly locked, and so are the string locks at the bridge itself. The setup is flawless. Spring tension vs. string tension is perfectly balanced and the baseplate is flat, but it still goes out with some whammy stuff.
Now I know once properly set up, a Floyd is supposed to not have any tuning problems, which is why I'm thinking this is due to new strings...but is this normal for new strings? or is there something else going on that I don't know about?
