You must stretch the strings first, or even those won't stay in tune. A regular Fender trem will go out pretty quickly, but using locking tuners & a graphite nut helps. Supposedly EVH used a Fender trem on the first album.Changing strings is not so bad on a Floyd, & if you leave the strings uncut you can just roll a little off the tuners & lock the end back down, provided the string didn't break too far from the trem. NEVER try just changing the broken string on a Floyd, you will have problems with tuning. Change the whole set, doing one at a time (taking all the old strings off at once is asking for trouble).The trick to tuning strings on a Floyd is to gradually zone in on correct pitch, say, tune high E sharp, then bring low E up to pitch, which will bring high E down, for example. When you have them all close, lock down & fine tune to correct pitch.</blockquote>
