In this video I am gonna show you how to get a properly balanced Floyd Rose setup on your @ORMSBYGUITARSAUS RC One @MrRustyCooley Signature Model Guitar.
Setting up a Floyd guitar can be a bit of a pain in the butt. If you don't have the string and spring tension balanced correctly you are going to ultimately suffer the consequences of a guitar that constantly goes out of tune.
I have spent years with my guitar tech setting up Floyds and working on all my guitars. I can tell you that this method is tested and proven. I beat the hell out of my Floyd Rose bridges and I stay in tune. I don't even put the locking grubs down on the nut.

Thx a TON for the vid! All the info on how to adjust the float on the bridge was great. This is a must watch for floyd addicts 🤘🤘
Thanks for watching 🤘
This is now my go to for a floyd stetup man thank you so much! Just received the exact same guitar yesterday and it wouldn't be playing as good as I like it if I hadn't watched your video. You've earned a sub my man :) great playing too!
Awesome! Thanks man. Glad it worked out for you. I'll make an updated one soon on a different guitar. More "generic" Floyd setups
Fantastic video, thanks a lot, Zach!
Always played strats, but seriously considering one of these. Looks really comfortable to play and unique design.
This is the video we needed 😍
🤘thanks for checking it out
Yo zach what happened to rusty and u doing the autopsy vids bro? Love your channel man keep it up!
We have a big announcement coming next week about that!!
For a schecter hell raiser c7 with a complete set of 10’s strings I found it very hard to bend until I loosen one of the spring screws(the bottom one) just like you mentioned. Helped with making the string from 1-4 more bendable. Thx bro
Probably need to play with the screws more o mean loosening one and tightening one (top)
Until I get the Floyd rose in perfect position
Nice man! I just picked up an Ibanez from the thrift shop for $12, gonna put in my Floyd that I got from Wish, wish me luck haha. This video will certainly help 🤘
Oh so that's quite the project! Best of luck
@@ZachAdkinsGuitar thanks man 🤘
Thanks for this, have had massing tuning issues with the guitar. I’ll go trough this step by step and comment back how it holds up! I even put the 4th spring on the back, using 09.-46 and 060 for drop a.
What I dont understand is for example I paid 100 dollars extra for Ormsby to set up the guitar and it had all the issues with the tuning so I feel robbed by that. But will see with the extra spring if it helps, also played floyds for 20 years and never had issues like with this guitar but will see…
Well, that's something you might wanna reach out to ormsby customer service about. I'm not sure their policy on that.
I specifically told them to not set up my guitars or spend any time on the setup
because I was going to overhaul the entire thing. Haha.
They were like "I mean. Our guys are really good. Just tell them what you want they can do it"
I told them Im sure they are amazing at it but, nobody sets it up the way I do. They don't lower the action the way I do, they have their our bias way of setting up the instrument just like every other guitar tech.
@@ZachAdkinsGuitar after following your instructions and playing for a few days I can say this definitely did the trick and now the tuning holds up great! Thanks a lot for this!
Awesome! Definitely share it to the groups and to other people that struggle with Floyds 🙏🙏
Thanks for actually coming back to your comment you got me stoked im going for the 7 and itll be atleast 3 months till i can order one so im glad i found this video!!
Hello, Zach! Please your recommendations on EMG pickups height? Yours sound pretty nice! Now I have 57-7/66-7 on my Dean RC7 Xenocide

Hi Zach. Did you experience any neck dive as well, and do you have a video on balancing the guitar itself?
This ^
I'm going to be done some investigation into that. I have some ideas I want to try it. Will post soon!
@@ZachAdkinsGuitar was wondering if you had already done some tinkering or have some ideas about the neck-dive issue. I must admit it is becoming a real bother now, one that I really don't believe Rusty himself would just accept, so I am wondering what the difference is between my "signature" and whatever he plays.
Cheers for the video! What gauges are you using on the drop A guitar? Apologies if I missed it in the vid.
9-42. Low 60 gauge
Cheers bud
Thanks for checking out the video! Hope it helps
@@ZachAdkinsGuitar Hi Zach, would you mind sharing which brand are you using? Elixir? Ernie ball?
I have the 6 string. Problems with the high e and b from the 20th fret up to 24th/25th. Note will ring out for a short amount of time. So they are not completely dead. But when you bend a note in that range they die out quickly, are almost muted. I'm not sure if it needs a turn on the truss rod or fret work? Thanks
for the set up video. Dan
Sounds like your neck is too tight. Maybe undo all the locking grubs. Make sure your bridge is perpendicular to the body.
Tune all the strings down a little. Then give the truss a quarter turn counter clockwise (if youre looking straight down the neck from the headstock) to relief the neck.
Then tune everything back up. If the problem stays but is better. Repeat the steps and retune again.
Try that. Then hit me up on Instagram.
@@ZachAdkinsGuitar Thank You Zach! I'll give it a shot. Much appreciated.
For sure!
Hey I’m looking into getting a rc-one here a week or so.
How would you compare them to your Ernie ball music man? I have owned Dean Rc7’s over the years and JP guitars and I prefer my JP13 7 Over my rusty Cooley models I’m for everything except the wide cutaway.
Also, do you only use 2 springs on this guitar?
I prefer the Ernie balls to the rc1. . Better balance, stays in tune, neck is more stable. I would buy 100 JP's or majesty's before buying 1 more rc1
@@ZachAdkinsGuitar Dang man, brutal with that response. I thought you were sponsored by Ormsby?
I planning on getting a majesty again, I just traded my jp13-7 for one of these rc1’s and I kinda prefer it over the jp13
I used to be. Love the company. That guitar just wasn't what I thought it would be.
So, I left ormsby. Been coasting without. Now I'm endorsed with Ernie ball
@@ZachAdkinsGuitar I love mine dude but. that’s what’s up. Congratulations to you, I actually just purchased your Guitar Efficiency book, think you could make a video detailing things that are in the book? I’m not very theory savy and would love to hear some of that material explained in context. Also would give people another reason to buy it! I seen rusty Cooley had one too! Thanks brother and take care
Hi Zach , I also bought this RC-One 6 string , very great guitar but one thing is a kind of a problem to me " the balance of the guitar " . With this very light body the guitar bends over/forewords when I am playing standing . The only good balance with this RC-One is to play like the classical way , sitting down . That's fine , I did this for years and many hours :-) But to play standing it's not a great balanced guitar for me . That's the only negative thing about this RC-One . I think I have to search for some extra weight to put on my guitarbelt or put some extra weight in the guitar where the pots are .... Any tips ? Thanks
The RC-One is all about the neck..and has a long neck, especially the 7's. It shares some neck dive issues similar to a SG or some V's. A common 2" wide poly strap is not a good choice to keep it balanced. Try a Levy's 3" wide cotton strap, which I have found to be perfect for playing the RC-One standing...also keep your right forearm on the body.
🙏🙏🙏
No such thing as balancing the floyd "side to side" or "pressure on one side of the bridge". This is a bridge that is floating on one plane, there is no side to side movement, only front to back, so high school physics say that you're wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having 007 and 070 string side to side if the overall tension can be balanced properly with the springs on the back.
Sorry. It's just remarkable how much bro science there is in guitar community.
Wrong.
If you change the distance that you screw in to the wood on either side it will change that tension overall. The more tension on one side the more tension you push in the last tension on one side the less tension you push it. It's amazing to me how somebody will have a bunch of problems with their Floyd when they're Floyd is straight and then I do this to their guitar, and it magically fixes it. So, bro science is still effective.
@@ZachAdkinsGuitar That is different. You mentioned string gauges and tension "to one side" of the bridge that they create. They don't.
I told you wearing black clothes during summer make you hot, and you replied that it's not true because if you spend to much time in a tanning saloon you'd get burned...
@@ZachAdkinsGuitar
Plus - no... the radical difference between height of the posts might impact tuning stability, but you immediately jump to calling it tension. The tension stays the same on the whole plane the floyd is on. The instability you mention might be caused by knife edges no longer being parallel to the posts because of a slant, but it has nothing to do with tension or string gauges.
