Alright i just was messing around with my axis setting up and such i got it to play real nice no buzz and intonation is right on but the back of the floyd as seen in pics is resting on the body a little bit so you cannot rock the floyd back only forward is there any threat that this can cause a problem overtime?

for your vieweing pleasure

Congratulations. Your guitar is set up the way it was intended from the factory.

:)
 
That's perfect...now how does the trem feel, is it hard to dive...if so, and this is what I do...loosen the springs to the point where there's still enough tension to keep the bridge flat, yet loose enough so that the trem 'feels' like a floater! Best of both worlds!

Not quite...From the back side pic, the bridge is not level, and from the side it isn't flat. It doesn't come from the factory like that, but if it plays good, cool!

Fair enough. I was referring generally to the Floyd resting on the guitar. I should have a disclaimer at the end of my post: "Does not speak for Music Man, it's employees, etc..." :)
 
LOL...No worries Mr Bucker! I can't look at guitars like normal folks anymore:p
 
i fixed the back not sitting flush from the side view also from the rear it looks perfect from a setup point of view no buzz, intonatied perfectly, neck is good and smooth,. and what matters is it plays just as good as it looks. Also i finally know that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you setup a guitar by yourself.:o thanks for the pointers Jon
