WTF!!!! I see how it works and it will do both ways.

The only way I see it moving forward is if the saddle that's cut on the piece that moves the string locking bolt is bound on there by pressure. If you have tension on the string or tuned to pitch it will make it easy to move forward. Then you will have both ways. If the string is slack, you'll have to nudge it forward with your fingers. That's my engineering opinion based on looking at the pictures.

Bengal-
I think the point of the "Key" is that you can adjust the saddle position with the string tuned to pitch (and therefore urging the saddle to move forward).

Thanks for the heads up regarding Allparts!Until you get weaned off the boobie, you are going to have to do what the wife wants too. -RsmackerComment

As QR said, you have to leave the string tight. Though it does take some muscle to back the saddle up at full tension. You could always loosen the string just a bit, and guesstimate where it needs to move to. Or someone could improve the design to have an Allen nut on the end or a small nut like 1/4" so you can use a wrench.Originally posted by Bengal65The only way I see it moving forward is if the saddle that's cut on the piece that moves the string locking bolt is bound on there by pressure.

Another good idea: find a Floyd that has been properly intonated and learn how to eyeball the same setup on another one. Makes fine-tuning the intonation a whole lot easier.
And the Key doesn't work on anything but OFR-type screws. Schallers and JT580-types can't take it.
One thing I did notice about the key - it shoves the saddle perfectly flat on the baseplate, which means your Fine Tuners may have to be set that way (all the way down).I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Correct, but there's two other models out there for Schaller and Ibanez trems.Originally posted by NewcI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment
