Does the heavy string gauges (starting from 11, 12 or even 13) would ruin/worn out the floyd rose saddles or any other parts if I would use them in standard E tuning?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Once you lock the strings, they don't move/slide/grind against anything (I think), so it's pretty safe. Safer than a v-trem, where the strings grind against the nut and the saddles like a band saw.Comment
