Noobish Floyd Question

[guitarslinger]

I'm SOOOO glad I mastered Floyd setups a number of years ago.

I would hate to be new at that stuff again.

Dude you should be able to set it up with 3 or 4 springs no problem with 10-52's. I used to use my Rhoads V with 11-54 with 4 springs and it worked amazingly well!! With 10-52 i had it set with 3 springs and the action was perfect.

+1 I've never had more than 3 springs on any of my Floyd's. I heard an argument once though that 4 springs had the same tension as 3 springs if you had the same tuning/string gauge/etc. The way it was explained to me actually made sense.
