Ah, it ain't too bad. Get yourself a string winder though. Makes the process a lot quicker. At least once you're done, you shouldn't have to do it again. Just be patient.

I finally paid the money to have a tech do it for me. I found a good tech in my area that does set ups for cheap. It was well worth it. Floyds are a pain to intonate. I'd rather spend my time playing then trying to figure it out.
