Brian Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Thanks to Alex we now have this art work for the site. If anyone has a guitar laying around and a couple of minutes would you post the Make, Model and measurments here please? This will become a reference page over on the main site when we get enough information together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Here's what I got : I took measurements of the trem unit itself and also the routed cavity. Original Floyd in a late 80's Kramer with recessed rout : Unit : A - 3.619 "(slightly less than 3 5/8") B - 2.681" (2 11/16 ") Minimum (includes string clamp screw) - 2.809" (slightly less than 2 12/16") Maximum (inclused string clamp screw C - 2.909"(slightly more than 2 29/32") Guitar player Repair guide says they should be 2 15/16" apart (2.937") D - 2.645" (slightly more than 2 41/64") Routed area: A - 3.743" (slightly less than 3 3/4" ) B - 3.240" (slightly less than 3 1/4") D - 2.787" (slightly more than 2 25/32") E - 1.618" (slightly less than 1 5/8") * E is not the same all the way across. It becomes much more narrow around the area where the tremelo arm is . I measured 0.804" (slightly less than 13/16") in this area . Go here, to see what I mean: http://www.geocities.com/soapbarstrat/floydstuff.html F- 1.360 (a little more than 1 1/32") ------------------------------ WD Floyd copy Unit: A - 3.700"(slightly less than 3 45/64") B - 2.807" (slightly less than 2 13/16") C - 3.082" (slightly more than 3 5/64") * The WD unit design allows this measurement to vary slightly, which I find superior to other units. D - 2.544" (slightly less than 2 35/64") Routed area (for recessed fit) A - 3.819" (slightly more than 3 13/16") B - 3.130" (slightly more than 3 1/8") D - 2.810" (slightly less than 2 13/16") E - 1.777" (slightly less than 1 25/32") * This measurement is not the same all the way across, it gets more narrow around the area of the tremelo arm, which is 0.896" (about 57/64 ") F - 1.190" (slightly more than 1 3/16") The Kramer Floyd rout is a factory route, with no mods done by me. The WD rout is all done by me and I came up with the measurements. Kind of ironic that I'm the one posting this, since I hate to see non-whammy and vintage whammy guitars converted to have these big Floyd-type monsters put on them. But I guess I was thinking about all the botched rout jobs I've seen and that often makes people want to totally junk the body altogether. It was also a lot more work to get these measurements and type it all out here than I thought it would be. I was in the shop and thought I could just spare a few moments to do it, which turned out to take much longer. I hope others take some measurements too, even of Original Floyd routs, like mine.

G_urr_A Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Uhm, I've got four questions. 1. Alex, what are the depths of the different areas on the original floyd drawing? 2. And what's the distance from the "mounting screws" (or whatever you might call them in english) to the edges of the section that meaures 93 across? 3. What units are these? Millimeters, right? 4. What about the spring cavity? Anyone has any measurements for that one? Sorry about asking a bunch of questions, but I'm going to have to rout this stuff into my first homemade guitar on monday (tomorrow) and I don't have the exact measurements yet.

DCord Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 You guys should add dimensions for the inertia block opening in the body as well, this could vary from trem to trem... ~d~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Generic Edge/Lo-Pro cavity A: 3-3/4" or 96mm B: 3-1/4" or 93mm C: 2-7/8" or 74mm D: 2-15/16" or 75mm E: 1-3/8" or 35mm F: 1-9/16" or 40mm And the depth of the rear cavity can be either 1/2" (12.7mm) or 5/8" (15.87 mm) depending on the model guitar The shelf which the trem anchors are inserted into is 3/16" or 4.76mm deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YDoesGodMockMeSo Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Jackson JT500 Floyd Rose off a Jackson PS4. Accurate, in as much as I printed it out and it fit A-96 B-73 c-74 d-72 e-37 f-28 The area around the pivot screws is 7mm deep The rest is 10mm deep I'll post an ACAD in a little while. http://home.rgv.rr.com/kingv1474/jt500floyd.dwg I'll add the nut that i have onto it later.

Kurt76 Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hi to all!!!! I have a little doubt... about Floyd Rose cavities...

JustanotherCro Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Does anyone happen to have the dimensions for a standard Fender tremolo route, specifially the posts? I'm putting in a wilkinson bridge in a new body I bought, but the post holes didn't come drilled. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanutsUK Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 While we're on the subject, I have a Strat body which previously had a standard 6-hole mounting tremolo on it. I have bought a Wilkinson VS50 to mount on this, which is a two post pivot type, and need to know a few things: Firstly, on a standard 6-hole strat trem, do the 6 mounting holes each deliberatly line up with the centre of each of the six strings? (I don't have a standard trem to test this theory out! I need to know where the ccentreline of the guitar sits. Secondly, I have downloaded the CAD drawing of the Wilkinson routing and mounting holes, and it mentions the 'center of intonation'. If I measure from the fretboard edge of the nut on the neck, to the center of intonation, should this be equal to the scale length? i.e. helping me position the bridge correctly? And lastly, is the center of intonation about halfway between the furthest set back saddle (low E) to the furthest forward saddle (top E)? I'm hoping the simple answer is: 'center the two mounting posts on the six holes already in it'. There's plenty of adjustment on the saddles for intonation, but I'd like to do a pro job rather than risk ending up discovering problems with it later on. Cheers in advance!

GuitarMaestro Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 What about 7-string tremolo routes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Cuervo Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Cro, I expect you've found a way to install the Wilkinson trem by now, but if not, the diagrams on the Warmoth pages suggest a distance of 56mm between the post holes for a Standard trem bridge, and 56.8mm for the Wilkinson/Gotoh trem.

krazyderek Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Ok, i went with a 1mm space around the bridge one thing you should notice is that the rout isn't perfectly centered 7 STRING FLOYD ORIGINAL ROUTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcamp67 Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Does anyone know if [url="http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Guitar,_tremolo/1/Wilkinson_Gotoh_Vintage_style_Tremolo_Bridges/Pictures.html#details"]this[/url] will drop in and replace a Floyd trem without any body rout modifications?

Jason Penn Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 What about the Kahler Spyder (Floyd-type) anybody know how far apart the mounting screws were? I am going to pick up an old Charvel Model 3 (dirt cheap!!) with one of these on it and would like to replace it with a Wilk/Gotoh VG300.
