    I’ve got a handful of Floyd guitars and I’m fairly certain the nut assembly looks like what you’ve got in your pic....of course next time I head downstairs I’m going to have to check!!!
    I'm looking at mine right now. He's right!

        Heres what i do to save time and save you pulling hairs.


        BLOCK THE BRIDGE!!! Make sure bridge is level with body.

        Only then you can change strings, stretch them abit and retune.
        Leave bridge BLOCKED.

        Lock the nut and and retune.

        UNBLOCK the bridge. Dont retune!!

        adjust the bridge angle by adjusting the spring tension until you get the tuning pretty close.
        Only then you can retune the guitar to perfection using the finetuners.

        This will save you alot of time.
