I recently went to a heavier gauge on my Floyd guitar and there’s no way I could’ve done it without your videos. Best the guitar has sounded and the intonation was the cherry on top!
Strobe tuners are a game changer for setting intonation. I've also found that periodically (like once a year) disassemble a Floyd completely, clean every component and oil all the threads makes them so much easier to work with, tune, and use.
@@CityofGold-yp6wt For some REASON I thought that if I oil the threads for the long screws then the oil will somehow get the tip of the screw and then the won't push against the saddle block very well because it will be oiled or something like that LOL. I've got some SuperLube Multipurpose Grease coming soon so I'll do the entire trem with that.
Thank you for this video, I’ve been using Floyd rose guitars for more than a decade and have never really messed with this. I was going to take my guitar to a tech but now I think I’ve I got it.
Ffs been intonating wrong this WHOLE TIME. Simply, I was doing the opposite of chasing the needle. Explains why I can't seem to get clean power chords and chords in general. This was helpful, Rob 🤘🏼
They told the locking tuners are not needed on Floyd guitars. But especially on Floyd, locking tuners are help so much, when needed fix the intonation, or floyd springs, when the you change the strings gauge or whole guitar tuning)
Nice video bruh! You do it exactly like I do. Except I don't say chasing the needle. I say flat-forward. In other words if the string is flat you move it towards the headstock forward if that makes any sense. If the fretted note is sharp you move it back to the body! So I always say "flat forward"That's my keyword for intonating. As far as moving it I do it exactly like you do it I loosen the nut loosen the screw and then I usually get it within three tries rarely do I get it on the first try like you did I think he planned it that way lol😂. Great video as always I like your videos!😊 You're a cool dude and your information is spot on....
Great video on a MASSIVELY overlooked subject! With that said, I would suggest using a capo at the first fret and intonate using fret 13. The reason is simple: all nuts are slightly higher than the frets. Hence, if you go open to 12, you are really intonating scale lenght PLUS nut height above the frets. If you go fret 1-13 you take nut height out of the equation and only intonate to the correct scale length, leading to closer to perfect intonation overall. IMHO, you really should be able to intonate at both nut and saddle. In short: only if your nut is EXACTLY the same height as your frets, it’s in the mathematically right place. The higher the action is at the nut, the closer the nut should be moved to fret 1 to compensate for this discrepancy.
The biggest thing that bothers me about adjusting floyd intonation is the fact that you can’t make incremental adjustments - the allparts “The Key” tool helps a bunch at least
What about the locking nut clamps? Do they get retightened every time you tune the string and check intonation? Or just leave them loose until the guitar is fully intonated?
Those get locked back up after ALL is said and done. After you're happy with your intonation, lock em' up, and then do a final tuning with your fine tuners. I recommend watching this recent video to learn more! ruclips.net/video/dksP50sw_9E/видео.html
Well, floating the bridge is a different process. I have many videos on the topic here on the channel. But here's one to get you started! ruclips.net/video/lvHqdSe0z4o/видео.html
Tru story: The guitar store i work in, and have worked in for 12 years, offered me the job because i knew how to set up a Floyd Rose and how to disable a Floyd... 😅😅😅 Man!!! I love my job. Get to play guitar every day and getting to live in the knowlige what i do help others player feel inspired to play when the guitar they have had in or just bought, is set up and plays well. Rather play live in band, but this? A close second.

That follow the needle and use a screwdriver to push trick is a game changer. The intonation struggle was real for a decade until now haha
I just got a guitar with a Floyd Rose after decades of playing. Your videos on setup and maintenance have been invaluable to me. Thank you.
Awesome! I appreciate you tuning in! 🎸
I recently went to a heavier gauge on my Floyd guitar and there’s no way I could’ve done it without your videos. Best the guitar has sounded and the intonation was the cherry on top!
Happy to hear it man!
Iv been using the RED BISHOP adjuster to setup my intonation on my floyds for the last few years and its a game changer. Makes it so much easier.
LOL I was just getting ready to make the same comment. Best 40 bucks I ever spent.
@@maxammo6282 Its a great little tool isn't it!
@@TriLaserArt yeah it is.... Blows that key away. Merry Christmas rock on brother.
Strobe tuners are a game changer for setting intonation. I've also found that periodically (like once a year) disassemble a Floyd completely, clean every component and oil all the threads makes them so much easier to work with, tune, and use.
Do you also oil the intonation saddle threads and the threads for the long screws that hold the saddle blocks?
@@Ben-ld1qi Saddle threads not necessarily, I just make sure they are clean and not corroded. The long screws, definitely!!!
@@CityofGold-yp6wt For some REASON I thought that if I oil the threads for the long screws then the oil will somehow get the tip of the screw and then the won't push against the saddle block very well because it will be oiled or something like that LOL.

Dude awesome! Happy to help! 🎸
Fantastic! I'm a bit rusty on the whole FR intonation stuff, so this video will be very useful! Thanks man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Cheers and happy holidays!
Happy holidays Jules! 👊🤘
Excellent video. Very helpful. Thanks
Happy to hear it!
Cool video!
Explains what to do and WHY to do it. 👍
My man!👊🎸
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
My pleasure!
Great video....Actually I'm in the process of installing a Trem stabilizer and final touches of adjusting intonation 😊
Best of luck with your project!🎸
Ffs been intonating wrong this WHOLE TIME. Simply, I was doing the opposite of chasing the needle. Explains why I can't seem to get clean power chords and chords in general. This was helpful, Rob 🤘🏼
It happens! Happy to help🎸
They told the locking tuners are not needed on Floyd guitars. But especially on Floyd, locking tuners are help so much, when needed fix the intonation, or floyd springs, when the you change the strings gauge or whole guitar tuning)
Locking tuners are for string change convenience. They should be on every guitar whenever possible.
Nice video bruh! You do it exactly like I do. Except I don't say chasing the needle. I say flat-forward.

@@RobArnoldWorld- i always think “sharp away”… same concept!

A great and very interesting tip/discussion! Thanks for chiming in with it bro! I'll be thinking about it! 🎸
The biggest thing that bothers me about adjusting floyd intonation is the fact that you can’t make incremental adjustments - the allparts “The Key” tool helps a bunch at least
The Key is so handy, got mine 15years too late hahaha

@@RobArnoldWorld Okay cool. I was just wondering if locking them down would change the tension and mess up the intonation.
@@JoeR203 That's definitely a smart inquiry, but I don't think it's anything to worry about!
Tuning fork in the old daze
Would this be the same method for a floating Floyd Rose???
Well, floating the bridge is a different process. I have many videos on the topic here on the channel. But here's one to get you started! ruclips.net/video/lvHqdSe0z4o/видео.html

That's awesome!
I'm a guitar tech and i bloody hate Floyds ha ha
You're not a good tech then.
