Just buy the $16 tool from Stew Mac, called THE KEY, it is the same thing and probably better made. If it is your first couple of times intonating a Floyd, it actually simplifies the process a lot, for not much money.

It has to be the open note (or harmonic) compared to the fretted note though. The 12th fret harmonic is 'in tune' with the open note...always. That's just physics. They both have the same scale length. It is the scale length of the fretted note, also accounting for the slight displacement from pressing it down; relative to the open note that we are adjusting.I use a clip on tuner and the harmonic at the 12th fret. If the harmonic note is higher than the open tuning note,
Sorry, I meant the fretted note at the 12th with the harmonic at the 12th. Nothing else I said is any different.It has to be the open note (or harmonic) compared to the fretted note though.

that's the one I have ..... works just fine .... and it does make it easier .....Just buy the $16 tool from Stew Mac, called THE KEY, it is the same thing and probably better made. If it is your first couple of times intonating a Floyd, it actually simplifies the process a lot, for not much money.
