If it's really good in bed, we may be in for a week or so of Yelling Bird comics.

Jesus Christ, Jeph. That's easily one of the best sounding guitars I've ever heard. Can I ask how much it set you back should I wish to invest in a Creston at some most likely non existent point in the future when I have money.
And by the way, your fingers are fucking huge.

If you want an ULTIMATE GUITAR NIGHTMARE, try re-intonating a Floyd Rose. There is literally no way to adjust the bridge saddles while they have strings on them. So you take the string off, make an adjustment, put the string back on (and remember this requires tightening and untightening at least a couple hex heads as well as the tuning pegs), check the tuning, repeat 1000x until you either guess right or get frustrated and give up. Oh and by adjusting the string length you're ALSO messing with the stability of the trem springs, so you also have to adjust THOSE, which is MORE trial and error.

They actually make a tool that lets you adjust intonation at tension with a floyd rose. I think it's like $40, but I never bought it. Whenever I have to do adjustments on my floyds I just shim the trem block and take one or two springs off. It's kinda tough to find something that fits perfectly to make it level, but it's the easiest way i found to do it. From that point on, you're basically just adjusting a stoptail with a string lock. Once you get your intonation right and everything's in tune, then lock the strings fine tune, and put the springs back on. Remove the shim, and adjust the claw until the bridge is where it was when you shimmed it.
Of course, you only need to do this if you're changing tunings or string guage. If you're not planning on doing it any time soon, then you just need to tune it like you would regularly tune a floyd, which is, honestly, pretty intensive compared to a stop tail. I'm probably in the minority that actually likes the Floyd, but i do recognize how high maintenance it is.
By the way, Tele looks great. Hopefully I'll have enough time to finish mine before the summer is over. It's kinda inspired by Billy Gibbon's custom tele.
