13-65 on floyd rose

[ibanezjacksonline6engl]

Would DR DTT 13-65 heavy strings on a floyd rose tuned to a or b be ok, or would I need to add more springs for this?

You will DEFINITELY need at least 4, probably 5 springs to handle those strings. The Floyd should be able to use those strings otherwise. But you will definitely want at least 4 springs, but probably 5, depending on your personal preference for string tension and how much "float" your trem has.

the 65 may be a bit thick for the nut It might not sit properly or clamp properly.

I have 3 springs will they cut it?

[Krymson86]

3 Springs, probably not. If they do it will be SUPER loose and you'll have to screw the strings about as far in as they'll go.

If you have a music store in your area my guess is they'll have trem springs lying around somewhere.

You really need the added tension of at least one more spring.

Heck, I use 4 springs with 10-46, I don't know how much tension a 13 - 65 would have in B, but probably more than 10-46 in E.

on one of my 7-strings, I use 4 springs with a set of 10-56, plus an added 70, and it's in A Standard. You should easily be able to make do with 4, 5 if you like a really stiff trem. I've never seen a setup that REQUIRED 5 springs to function.

Three won't cut it, I have one of my guitars with 3 springs tuned to c standard with 11-54 guage strings. I had to screw the claw for the springs in all the way and it was just barely enough.

Would the floyd saddle hold a .65.70?

[Grim]

I think it will. The nut will most def. handle a 0.65.

Of course, If you try it because of me and it doesn't work

Telling you now, not my fault.

Although I know a .62 will fit, as I use .13-.62 on my ESP.

[potatohead]

Just friggin cram it in there anyway, geez, I thought tight was good
