Help! Eb's for Floyd Rose Tremolos!

[vader07]

I'm sure this has been asked 1000 times, but I searched for it and didn't find anything good.

But is there a special set strings made for locking trems? I heard that for floyd rose tremolos you need a less elastic string since the nut is locked.

Any help would be much appreciated!

You don't need special strings for a Floyd, you just have to clip off the ball end. Been using Super Slinkys on my Floyds for a lot of years. No problems to report.

You can also string them backwards, so the ball end is at the tuners. Speeds up the process.

Exactly what I do.

So, sorry for the noob question but, you can't use RPS strings on a Floyd then?

 

[spychocyco]

Sure you can. Kind of defeats the purpose, though.

Steve Morse uses RPS strings on his.
