Step 4:
Now remove the bullet from the
saddle.
Step 5:
If you are replacing a broken string,
when you unlatch the pivoting saddle
there will be no tension on the string
to pull the pivoting saddle forward, so
you'll have to pivot the saddle forward
with your finger.
You can now remove the bullet on the
other end of the string from the nut
by simply sliding it out the back of the
nut.
Step 6:
If you try to release a saddle and pull back on the sliding latch and it won't
budge, release everything and start over making certain that you don't turn
the sliding latch sideways. If the sliding latch turns on its shaft, the safety catch
portion of the sliding latch will not line up properly with the safety catch
portion of the pivoting saddle and will cause binding.
The safety catch is there to prevent the string from accidentally releasing while
playing or changing strings.
Step 1:
To level the base plate, first take the
spring cover plate off the back of the
guitar.
Step 2:
Inside the spring cavity you should find
a tremolo stop.
SETTING UP THE SPEEDLOADER TREMOLO BRIDGE BASE
PLATE
The proper setup of the SpeedLoader Tremolo Bridge looks exactly like a
properly setup Original Floyd Rose Tremolo Bridge. By the way, the SpeedLoader
Tremolo will retrofit an Original Floyd quite easily.
The first thing you'll want to do is check to see if the top surface of the base
plate of the bridge is sitting parallel to the top surface of the guitar.
If the base plate appears to be tilted forward away from the top surface of the
guitar or tilted back closer to the top of the guitar, then an adjustment should
be made.
This is what the safety catch looks like up close. (see above)
