I have a floyd rose trem, and after replacing the strings, the new ones keep coming out of the saddle, do the blocks wear out or am I doing something wrong here?
Answer – The blocks can wear out or crack but this seldom happens. If they are jammed in the saddle they are probably cracked (this is caused by over tightening). When you replaced the old strings a small piece from the end might have stayed in the saddle causing the problem. If the tremolo is rusty or dirty, that might also prevent the saddle block from clamping properly.
