Floyd Rose's are great, but they're extraordinarily annoying to adjust. You have to remove the string to adjust the intonation (do this only one string at a time or you'll really play hob putting it back together). With the string removed there should be either an allen screw in front of the saddle. You have to loosen it and move the saddle where you want it. If it won't move far enough you have to remove the screw and put it in another screw slot, there are two or three in the bridge itself. What a pain in the neck it all is.

: I got myself an Ibanez RG270DX the other day and it's got
: that (copy of) a Floyd Rose bridge. On my other guitar
: I can simply turn screws on the back of the bridge to move the
: blocks where the strings run over back and forth, but how do I do
: that with this kind of bridge? It seems turning the tubes holding the
: strings at the back of the bridge only moves the string w.r.t. the block
: and not the block itself...some advice would be welcome.
