intonating a floyd tool less is a bitch. i love my zr, its got a built in intonation tool
i voted soldering, cause my guitars always have small cavities (and i work on lots of surface mount electronics, with BARELY adequate tools ) and restrigning, cause yeah. floyds

Reverse Headstocks or Bust

Soldering. I suck at it.

Intonating floyd-style bridges is a pain in the ass. Its the only time I'll ever prefer the ZR for anything.

Soldering because wiring can get me confused sometimes...
