I recently bought a 2024 Axis (thanks to @Sweat for the sale!); I'm very impressed by the guitar! It's been more than 30 years since I've owned a guitar with a Floyd Rose / locking trem, though I distinctly remember how difficult it was to adjust the intonation. Nowadays, I'm fanatical about intonation, using a bench strobe tuner to get it as perfect as possible - which would normally be near impossible to do on a locking trem.
Doing some research last night, I first came across "The Key" which was mentioned in this forum before for Floyd Rose trems, but I couldn't find any information on if it would work with EBMM's new locking trem. Then I came across another product from Japan, that is much much better made and compatible with more locking trems - and surprising, it was available from Amazon with free one day shipping. It arrived today, and it's beautifully made and easy to use - and I was able to adjust the intonation dead accurate! The intonation wasn't too bad before, but factory intonation is never as accurate as I aim for.
It is a little pricy ($40-$50, depending where you buy it), but I can't imagine being able to set the intonation as accurately any other way. I highly recommend it.
