Very good demonstration man. I love it.

But i got a question. pardon it may sound noob.

if you remove all the strings at once, won't the neck get all funny cause you just released a huge amount of tension on them?

only if you leave the strings off for say.... 8-24 hours and let the neck get used to that lack of tension.

Hi,
thanks for the info. I was wondering why you use the battery to hold the trem. What is the purpose behind doing that?

[rya]

because the bridge moves its angle once you change strings gauges

[dange2005]

So basically you need to do that ONLY if you're changing gauge? Can't you set the angle with the set up screw located at the back?

[Stormcrow]

If you take out all the strings , the tremolo will fall into the cavity.
Battery prevents this. I use the same thing with my edge pro

[markg5150]

If you remove strings on a floater without vlocking the trem you the "neutral" position when you try and tune up the new strings. If you're tuning strings already from a close to neutral poistion its easier.

Another option is change strings 1 at a time

hey sonata guitarist loved the setup page but. I just got a S470 the other day but I never got the intonation where and what tool do you use to set the intonation

[ryanb]

The ZR intonation tool is built into the trem. It's screwed in opposite to the bar.

[pes_laul]

Then what DO i do with that (sorry I know nothing about it I had someone else pick it up for me)

Nice walkthrough and lovely axe. I don't know about all this hating on the ZR, I think it's wonderful. Smoooooooth.
