ThisWith the Edge trem, I always lined up that little square "box/line" looking thing on the side to be parallel with the body.

You can throw some titanium string blocks in if it's an original or 1000-series to stop those strings from popping-out - if it is a Special, the metal in those damn things is just a headache waiting to happen and you'll have to replace the saddles, too.There's always one string...the G-string.
Put the guitar in the gig bag a few weeks ago, take it out today, g-string slipped out from the bridge. Happened to two different guitars in the last week.
The one I'm using today, the g-string slipped out of the bridge block in the gigbag; fixed it, tuned it up; played it; put it in a stand, about 15 minutes later, the g-string pops out again. srsly. Working again now, tuned it, played it for about 20 minutes including dive bombs and pull ups, still in so far.
I like FR, but they still manage to piss me off nearly every time I play one.
just me?
No other strings have popped out. Two guitars, both g-strings popped out in the gigbags; and one popped out on the guitar stand again after fixing it and playing it.I've never had an issue with the strings popping out of the bridge blocks, but then again I've never used a floyd special.
Also i'm not afraid to tighten them f'rs down real tight. On a special they would probably crack under my heavy hands!
Check the inside of the saddles too, if they have any grooves or wear new inserts probably won't help much. I encountered the same problem on a Jackson branded FR years ago, the saddles were garbage.No other strings have popped out. Two guitars, both g-strings popped out in the gigbags; and one popped out on the guitar stand again after fixing it and playing it.
Probably going to get steel string lock inserts if it keeps happening.
Thank you. I set it up with the knife edge block parallel to the body.
I did a no-no by adjusting the bridge height without slacking the strings. I forgot about that until I’d already started turning. Oops.
Regardless, it’s all set up. Action, bridge angle, intonation, pickup height. Plays great. Pickups still suck though.
I have 2 guitars with Floyd Special and have no issues with the strings popping out. Just need to tighten them tight.I've never had an issue with the strings popping out of the bridge blocks, but then again I've never used a floyd special.
