Setting the intonation on a Floyd Rose can be a frustrating and time-consuming business. If you do it without the right tool.
If you loosen the allen screw, the bridge saddle has a habit of slipping forward, and there's a lot of trial and error involved. It's not surprising that I see lots of guitars with a 'that will have to do' setup. This tool is essential to an accurate setup. Nothing's THAT fast when setting up a Floyd Rose, but you can set intonation much more quickly and accurately than doing it manually. Slacken the string (remembering to loosen the locking nut first), and then slip the lugs between the back of the bridge and the fine tuner as shown in the illustration. Tighten the screw until it begins to grip. This ensures that the bridge saddle won't slip forward when you slacken its allen bolt.
You can then adjust the intonation, tightening the Key's knurled ring to move the saddle back if the string was sharp or slackening it to move the saddle forward if it was flat. Re-tune the string and check, if necessary repeating the process. Then do the same on the other strings, re-tighten the locking nut and fine tune as necessary. A few notes of warning: Don't try adjusting with the string up to tension - you need to slacken, adjust, re-tune. Work on one string at a time and only loosen one bridge saddle at a time. And - most important - this is for genuine Floyd Rose tremelos only - it won't work on Ibanez Edge, Ibanez Lo-Profile, or Schaller locking tremolos.
Comments about Allparts 'The Key' Floyd Rose Intonation Tool: Just received today my Allparts The Key. Sat down to set the intonation on my Floyd Rose tremolo. Finished the low E string.
As I was moving the tool to the A string the adjustment knob came loose. It's threaded on and head in place with some Loc Tite thread locker. Totally inadequate. Luckily I have some JB Weld on hand. Aside from that the idea is sound. As soon as as the JB Weld cures I'll find out for sure. I would recommend this with a few caveats.
Comments about Allparts 'The Key' Floyd Rose Intonation Tool: This is a tool designed with a right purpose in mind but without much thought given to its applicability on slightly different configurations. I have an Ibanez prestige series guitar and after buying this one I found this tools just isn't applicable on my Floyd rose.
The Key Floyd Rose Intonation Tool
I had to create a complex mesh of wires around this thing to ultimate get some use out of it. It was only slightly less painful than the hit and trial process of intonation (but probably much more accurate, to some consolation). The head of this little tool is glued on the attached screw. So if you want to turn it anticlockwise, you may just have it come off as it did for me. Good thought, bad execution. Comments about Allparts 'The Key' Floyd Rose Intonation Tool: I bought a brand new floyd rose bridge.
This thing just doesn't work as advertised. I even looked up videos on youtube and this thing is useless. You're better of just loosening the string A LOT and then making the adjustments you need. The key did not allow me to make any kind of adjustments. If you're not careful you'll scratch up your floyd rose. The little end piece you use to make the adjustments screws off as well. I'll be returning my soon.
If you do your own Floyd Rose work you NEED THIS!!!!! I am a 30+ year guitar player/teacher and tech. I do all my own work from strings to frets and all the electronics. Like most electric players I have a fond spot for Floyd Rose systems on my guitars. Until I have to work on them. Like setting intonation for example is a nightmare and time consuming beyond comprehension.
This little guy here locks under the bridge and pins to the saddle and I can set-up a entire guitar to dead-on intonation in 30 min compared to 3+ hours without it. If you think about it- this tool pays for itself and then some the first time you use it in lieu of taking it to a shop for the job. There are links on youtube on how to use it properly and it is so easy you will actually enjoy setting up your own guitars and have the satisfaction of doing it yourself and removing the 'mystery' of the Floyd. The more you can do accurately to your gear the better rounded player you will be. A good tuner is all you need. I use a Peterson Strobe but really any good tuner will work and it will be fine in alternate tunings too such as a dedicated 'Drop D' This little critter is in every case that has a Floyd on it.
And to boot I have guys dropping off guitars for a setup that puts $100.00 in my pocket for 30 min of work strings, neck, clean the pots, set the bridge, lube the pivots and polish it. I can pocket 1500.00 a day and this makes it possible and removes all the drama and swearing when you try it without one. Best money you can spend- Honest. Original Floyd Rose Key with Steel Knurled Knob This is one of the early versions with the hardened steel knurled adjustment knob so it will move the saddle both forward and backward without loosening the string. The plastic knobs on the newer ones will strip and break if the string isn't loosened first.
Also the body of the early versions have a better grade of steel and the tips don't break off like the newer potmetal ones. When they revised the design with cheaper metals and plastics these became a worthless piece of junk. This one will last many years and be very useful. Don't waste your money on the newer ones with the plastic knobs.
When one of these with the steel knurled knob does come up for sale it's worth the money even if it's more than the plastic junk ones. Good Luck in finding one as most smart guitarists keep theirs.
