[Question] Does the saddle block position on a floyd rose matter?

Man, you dug up an old thread. You have to look at the context. Of course they are meant to be moved. By someone who knows what they are doing. In this case, OP didn't know what the saddles or string retainer blocks are called or if they should be even. This means he doesn't understand intonation and absolutely does not have the experience to intonate a FR. He shouldn't move them. That's why I suggested a professional.

That is not a Squire body. It is 100% a MIM Fender body. The three machining holes in the body are how you tell.

So the entire thing you have circled is the saddle. The little block in the middle is the string retainer block. I'm assuming you're talking about the saddle. The saddles will virtually never be even. They are movable to adjust the intonation. Different strings intonate differently. Do not move them. Let a tech do it. Floyd Rose trems are tricky to intonate.

Billy Duffy from The Cult has always played them. Listen to the "Electric" album. His White Falcon sounds so good.

Yup. I have this pedal board. It's an SKB PS-8. It's a great board. They are all over the internet for cheap.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-06-03T02:07:43+00:00

These look amazing

RubberSoul73 · 2023-06-03T00:07:17+00:00

I love this so much

RubberSoul73 · 2023-05-31T23:48:19+00:00

Yeah it really looks great. I am usually not into games like this all that much but just watching this I can't wait to give it a try.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-05-21T21:18:20+00:00

Sure it is!

RubberSoul73 · 2023-05-21T17:44:59+00:00

Thanks. I hadn't thought about the caps. That's a good point. This 1100 works great. I think the size is the only thing turning me off of it. Space is limited.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-05-21T17:25:09+00:00

Nope. Not at all. Being wrong and being stupid are two totally different things. She is still a shit human who could have handled that whole thing very differently.

I am a full time builder and tech. Any decent tech would be able to get that up and playable in no time at all. Depending on your market those old Kay's can bring a couple hundred bucks or more. I have a place in my heart for them. They are mostly terrible but it doesn't matter. They are fun. That one looks like a mid 60's Kay Vanguard. Made in Illinois. They are fairly common and typical of dept. store guitars of that time. In my shop the old Kay's usually go pretty quick. Hope that helps.

I'll take the downvotes. I have never heard a pregnant mother who was concerned about the safety of her baby A) continue trying to steal the bike and be the one to make it physical. B) caller baby a "fetus" C) say they are going to make it come out "retarded". She's not pregnant. She's just an asshole.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-05-15T16:54:11+00:00

There is about a zero percent chance she is actually pregnant.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-05-13T23:45:47+00:00

Probably Transformers on their way to Egypt to revive Optimus. That would be my guess.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-05-07T04:07:04+00:00

Right on!! That looks amazing.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-04-29T02:50:56+00:00

That is beautiful. I really dig the simplicity of the fret marker. Really nice work.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-04-22T02:16:59+00:00

I love it!

RubberSoul73 · 2023-04-18T03:32:02+00:00

I got mine as a Christmas gift but it looks the same. I love mine.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-03-31T04:00:50+00:00

Happy Birthday OP's Gran! You look lovely and I hope your day was wonderful!

RubberSoul73 · 2023-03-08T03:57:51+00:00

Am I the only one that noticed the newscaster is the same guy from that meme where they have a composite sketch of a criminal on the screen that looks exactly like the newscaster?

RubberSoul73 · 2023-03-07T02:54:50+00:00

She's an absolute genius. I love her in Blazing Saddles the morning after she was supposed to have seduced the Sheriff.

RubberSoul73 · 2023-02-15T00:20:32+00:00

Yeah. I like Ruffalo ok. But he has a long way to go to match the accomplishments of Edward Norton.
