How long does it take you to tune a Floyd Rose or floating tremolo?

While this is my only Floyd equipped axe, I'm surprised by how well it's staying in tune now that I have it set up properly, with the springs I like. And that's with the three little string clamps missing from the lock nut.

Tune-O-Matic or a 6-screw trem decked with 4 springs. My Baretta is about to be hung on the wall. Gonna make a nice board for the hanger to be on.
Though I have a 6-screw trem on my Fender squire; there is a metal piece on the back that's busted and it's currently not playable. That one is also a wall decoration at the moment lol

Floyds stay in tune really well when they’re set up properly. Most non-locking trems will do fine as well, again, set up properly.
If I use the bar on a decked trem, it won’t stay in tune. If it’s floating, I’ve lubed all the friction points, have minimal wraps of string on the post, it works really well.“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt
