Powerslave214 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 recently got an Ibanez SA160 model guitar, which comes equipped with the Ibanez SAT30 tremolo. Looking at their website, it doesn't appear that they offer that tremolo in a black model. I was wondering if any of the Wilkinson or Gotoh tremolos would be an effective replacement with major modifications or routing? I'd really like a black one just for the aesthetics, but I'm wary of having a local shop plate it black. Quote
Powerslave214 Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Posted September 23, 2005 I've sinced learned that due to the odd string spacing of the SAT30, there really isn't a suitable replacement that wouldn't require re-reouting the trem cavity. So what's the best method for recoloring the bridge? Powedercoating, or some other process? Quote
marksound Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 You could powder coat, but that's a little expensive. What I'd try is rattlecan epoxy appliance paint. Hard and durable. Krylon Quote

Had any experience with this? Quote
