B.C. Rich Widow WMD - Manual (Page 6)

Step 1:
To replace a string, push down on the
back of the saddle of one of the strings.
Step 2:
Then, pull back on the sliding latch by
placing the first finger of your free
hand on the black knob protruding
out the back of the saddle then placing
your thumb on the fin sticking up just
behind the fine tuner screw and pull
the latch back with a pinching action
between the thumb and first finger.
Step 3:
Once you have pulled back on the
sliding latch, release the saddle and
allow it to rotate forward.
REMOVING SPEEDLOADER GUITAR STRINGS
*For use with SpeedLoader™ bridges only.
Please note: SpeedLoader strings are offered in two scale lengths: 25.5inches
and 24.75 inches. If you're not sure what scale length your guitar is, consult
the guitar manufacturer or the store where you purchased the guitar.
Make sure you have purchased the correct scale length strings for your guitar.
The string scale length appears in the lower left corner of the string package.
To purchase strings go to: www.floydrose.com or ask for them at your local
dealer.
Step 3:
If this part is missing stop right here
and get one installed by a qualified
guitar repairman. You can get this part
from www.floydrose.com.
Depending on the guitar you purchased,
the tremolo stop may or may not be
engaged with the spring block.
We will assume it is not engaged and
show you how to engage it.
Take the 3mm Allen wrench and turn
the setscrew until it touches the spring
block.
Step 4:
Now, tighten the springs with the spring
claw screws so the spring block is
pulled tightly against the setscrew.
Step 5:
Another way to pull the spring block
against the tremolo stop set screw is
to add another spring to the spring
block and claw. Using this method is
preferred because it will be easier to
re-float the tremolo after setting up
the bridge.
