McLeanAB:
Woot!

Thanks for the info!!!!!

MarshallJMP:
Hey SC, do you happen to know if that intonation tool also works for floyd trems? that looks really nice, never saw something like that before.

Systematic Chaos:
Hey MJMP! Yeah, you gotta set it to Original EDGE, then it works for Floyd Rose Original, Schaller Floyd Rose and Gotoh GE1996. This tool is definitely worth the extra $ over the cheapo flimsy Allparts Intonation tool  :thumb-up:

MarshallJMP:
GREAT, they are not cheap but on the other hand will save a lot of time.So I'll order one from Thomann today.!!

Thanks SC.  :thumb-up:
