*There IS a way to drop in a new set of strings on a Rose in about 5 minutes.......Get some cutters, use a T handle Allen head, use your palm to bend the tremelo down while usin' the T-handle.....Ditch your stock set of tuners and put some Sperzels on.....MOST importantly, have a back-up guitar ready to go so ya don't have to screw with the Rose in between breaks or on stage......No big deal.....
