7 Answers. The Floyd Rose bridge should be parallel with the body; if it is not, you will have to make major and unnecessary adjustments to the other parts of the guitar in order to get a good action and correct intonation/'overall set up' (which you will likely find hard with the bridge at that angle.).
Should Floyd Roses be flat?
Move the saddle forward (towards the pickups) if the Floyd Rose intonation is flat. Pull the saddle back (away from the pickups) if your Floyd Rose intonation is sharp. Be sure to properly re-tighten the screw so that the saddle doesn't move when you re-tune the string.
Does a Floyd Rose need to be level?
The Floyd Rose tremolo should be close to level with the body of your guitar. It's okay if it is slightly raised. If it is raised too high or sinks into the guitar, you need to adjust the screws and springs. Step 2: Once your guitar is in tune, tighten the locking nuts.
