I broke my high E string and am curious if having a missing string is bad for my floyd rose? I am trying to get some new strings this week just debating on ordering them or running to the music store if I can get time.
Is it bad to adjust action while there is tension on the strings? I raised my action a bit and afterwards found out that its not good to raise action while there is tension on the strings as it can damage the knife edges but I also read people saying that they have been doing it for 20+ years with no problems.
Last question, my bridge is no longer floating as well as it used to. Do I just loosen the springs in the back? If so should I just wait to do that until I get a new high E string?
Any tips/tricks anyone can give me would rock too.
Thank you!
