Converting standard nut into a Floyd Rose shelf

Sounds like too much hassle for something so fidgety.

From my previous experiences with double-locking trem systems (a licensed copy on an Ibanez EX270 and a ZR system on an Ibanez S420WK), the Floyd Rose trem is actually not that fiddly/fidgety to set up once you know how to, there's a little trick that speeds up the setup process, basically you use a small block of wood in the spring cavity to position the bridge properly with respect to the body of the guitar, once you have done that you can then set the intonation after tuning the guitar up, then you set the spring tension and the block of wood should almost fall out.

Yeah, it's going to be 10 times hard if you haven't blocked it out before/during the setup.
