If you search on Youtube for "Floyd Rose setup" you get tons of clips. Is there one in particular that is best to watch? I've never tried to do any setup work on a floyd, and seeing as how I have a number of guitars equipped with one, I should probably learn how.

I like the video's made by Adam over at floydupgrades.com - he goes through disassembly, reassembly, and intonation with the Floyd (regardless
if your using an aftermarket block or the OEM one, the setup processes are the same). I know there's a shitload of Floyd video's out there like you
were sayin, if anyone else has their favorites - I'm always looking for more info. so post em' if ya got 'em.  :)  The only thing I haven't found that I'd
like to see would be the installation of a Floyd on a new guitar from scratch... information like trem mounting stud height, and how to tweak the action,
how and/or when to shim the nut, the differences when using a flush-mount or recessed cavity, stuff like that. Anyone?

I've not ever run across any video's of a from scratch set up. It really ivolves a lot of trial and error, you basically have to put it all together and begin tweaking it in from there...Here's a good place to start from..
