On my new guitar, which I got for Christmas, I have a standard Floyd Rose. Now, I know that these are supposed to stop the strings going out of tune, but mine always seem to go out of tune alot. It's really annoying because I hate having to undo the bolts and retuning, untuning the fine tuners and so on. Is there something wrong with my FR or are my strings still stretching.

I need some help.

if the strings are new, they're probably just stretching out.

When you put on new strings next time, before you clamp them down, stretch them out by hand, just grab onto them and pull them (pull, don't tug, you don't want to damage the guitar) this should stretch them out, then re-tune them and do that until they don't go out of tune when you stretch them. Then just clamp them down.

tune low, play hard, and floor it!!!

Ahk, thanks. And yeah, they are new. I just play it alot and also i have pulled them by hand, used the whammy alot to stretch em (i dont normally use whammy's. i only used it to stretch). But it hasn't really slowed down the stretching... Thats all.
