Just received a new guitar today which has popped my Floyd cherry (well it's actually a Gotoh one), and to be honest I'm absolutely lost as to what to do with it.
How do I change strings? Normal allen keys is it? Or do I need really long or straight ones to not damage the body?
Mine also has locking Hipshot tuners but the tuning seems to go at the first divebomb, is that right?
How do I fix the position of the bar? I always thought that was one of the best bits and mine is floppy.
How do I quickly raise or lower the action from the bridge? I'm a Gibson man normally and this has thrown me!
Ooh, I feel like I've just started all over again.

There was a fab video for setting up a Floyd. I'll see if I can find it.

Tried greasing the knife edges, took the bridge right out to make sure it was in the right place, a little better on down pushes but raising it is just as bad for sticking sharp.
