The most important part about intonation is making sure the that your octave is the middle of the fretboard. The 12th fret is the middle of your fretboard. If you can finger the the 12th fret and it is still is tune you are good. If you are sharp move the saddle back and vise-versa.Just one more guitar!

What is the tool for intonating a FR under tension? It has to be my least favorite part of setting up a floyded guitar.
I live on the edge of danger facing life and death every single day.....then I leave her at home and go disarm bombs.

-adjust the truss rod in the neck
-adjust the bridge for height and intonation
-tail piece or tremolo adjustment
-height adjust the nut for first position action
-tighten and clean all electronics, tuning gears, pickups
-clean and polish instrument
All you need is the correct tools, which would be a truss rod wrench, some allen wrenches, and some screwdrivers. Plus it gives you a better understanding of how the instrument works which in turn gives you a better idea of what to look for when shopping for new guitars.Scott
