My New Kiesel JB200C Floyd Rose Tuning Stability Thrash Test Video!

[AxRookie]

I'm just amazed about how well my new Kiesel JB200C stays in tune with a floyd rose tremolo, no matter how hard or crazy I thrash it this guitar just won't go out of tune!

I installed a N-Tune onboard tuner and for anyone who doesn't know what to look for a green light facing to the right is "in tune" and the amber light is which string, any out of tune will show a red light and it will flash red if it's more than a half-cent out or something like that...

Sorry about the video quality, It was shot with the only video cam I have which is an old digital camera...

Is this your first experience with a Floyd?

Yeah, it’s hard to put a Floyd out of tune.

Usually I've only got to tune my Charvel every month or so.



Floyds are great.

No I've had others but not as good as this, The others were pretty good but they all had a little quirk or two...

I liked the Pro the best only because with the Original I tend to bush up against the low E string fine tuner from time to time with my palm and that moves the fine tuner setting, I need to come up with some kind of a lock for that one fine tuner, maybe a jam nut of some type? or maybe a small spring between the tuner screw head and the base plate? or maybe a bit of lock tight or super glur to tighten the tuner up a bit? I don't know but something...

Locktite blue will work. Don't use the red stuff though.

Owned a bunch of Carvins with floyds have 4 now. They are absolute rock solid in tuning best I have ever played bar none. Have bought Carvins and had them come out of the box after being shipped cross country in tune.
The blue locktite might work. If you use locktite be aware the red for sure will lock the tuner where it will be a real pain to get back loose if you can at all without damaging the unit some of the others might also so make sure you know which type you are using.
Does that one have the active passive module? If so and you ever what to change pickups yell my way. My DC 400 with the active passive set up sounds amazing with the set of Duncans I have in it.

Good, well set up Floyd Rose units are extremely good at staying in tune.

I've set up Schallers, OFRs and Gotohs. The only thing tricky about the setup is intonation. They hold tune very well, and they feel very good. The cheaper Floyds don't hold up as well IMO. They work fine, but you need to take extra steps when setting them up. The bridge doesn't feel as solid, and the knife edge doesn't seem to be as hard. I can adjust the action just fine on OFRs and Gotohs, but with the 1000 series for instance, I have to remove the bridge to set the post height just to be safe.

There’s an ******* customer at my store that everyone hates. He’s incredibly loud, vulgar, racist, returns most things he buys after using them, and is generally unpleasant. He called in once, saying he was coming for a trailer hitch and ball, and to have it out for him because he was on a deadline to haul something.

We used an entire tube of red Locktite on the nut for the trailer ball, and sold him the ball and hitch separately.

No mine isn't active passive, What does that do for you?

Just has some unique tones in the way it splits the humbucker plus the phase gives great Greenie tone. Pull the volume pot up it's passive master volume and tone pop it down it's active with a bass and treble boost cut. Then you have a trim pot to set the level on the active so you can match the passive level or set a slight boost. Also both buckers together split are humbucking.
Carvin ran that system from the early 90 till just a couple years ago under Kiesel they dropped it. The First of the JB guitars had it the later ones not.
This is one with the Perpetual Burn and the active/passive system.

I never thought of doing what the guy in the video was doing muting the open strings with a sweatband for the lead parts? interesting...

I had the option to get a Perpetual Burn but I asked them what did jason's "bluey" guitar have and give me that...

I simply love this guitar after I got the few probs/bugs that it first had when I got it worked out, two of them are nobody's fault like the pickup selector switch was too tall in the position it's located at, sometimes when strumming I could hit it with my hand if it was in the mid position so I just took the plastic knob off and cut it in half and put it back on and that solved that, And the other was with the Floyd Rose original bridge my palm would sometimes brush against the low E string fine turner and that would change the setting so I just screwed them all the way down and made sure that all the strings would be all slightly sharp before I locked the nut down and then fine-tuned all of the strings by turning each of the fine-tuners out the tiny amount needed and now with them all very low and close to bottoming out I don't brush up against them anymore or if I do they don't move any and that solved that! lol
