Updates
I'm building this little article from various posts I've done on forums in the past, to help you do some troubleshooting and maintenance on your floating bridge. I might add comments from other forum users as well, if they want to chime in. A few of the pictures used here, are copied from various discussions on the net.
The article will start out with no real structure - I'm just gonna write up bits and pieces as I go along. I am not going to cover all aspects of a floating bridge, but rather pick out topics I find interesting and useful to pass on. Initially, I am not going to focus on simple setup and adjustment of the Floyd bridge, because there's plenty of info already available on the net. Maybe later I will. Okay, let's get started.
