Climate, Humidity and Your Guitar Damage done to an instrument as a result of too little, or too much, humidity is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Cracks resulting from a lack of humidity are not due to a manufacturing defect, but are considered neglect, and educating yourself could save you some heartaches...and expense.

SETTING UP THE SPEEDLOADER TREMOLO BRIDGE BASE PLATE Step 4: Now remove the bullet from the saddle. Step 5: If you are replacing a broken string, when you unlatch the pivoting saddle there will be no tension on the string to pull the pivoting saddle forward, so you'll have to pivot the saddle forward with your finger. The proper setup of the SpeedLoader Tremolo Bridge looks exactly like a properly setup Original Floyd Rose Tremolo Bridge.
LOADING SPEEDLOADER STRINGS Step 1: To put on the new string simply slide one of the bullets into the nut, then place the other bullet into the appropriate saddle and push down on the back on the saddle until you hear, or feel, a snap. Step 2: This sound is the spring-loaded sliding latch snapping into place. If you don't hear or feel the snap, push the sliding latch toward the saddle until it catches.
