What bridge?

[Dan]

Ive got a body with no routing for a bridge in it and im asking your opinion on what i should put in it. Heres a pic :

EDIT-I uploaded the pic to a different server

[cerealk]

I couldnt open the pic or save it

[Dan]

[cerealk]

it was sorted, but it is now

The easiest would probably be a fixed bridge that doesn't require routing through the body simular to those found on the hard tail Strats.

You know the kind that you actually string through from the tail of the plate.

Would a Floyd Rose be hard to put in? After all, i could put all the money into the guitar when it could sound like ****. Would it be worth putting in just to have a whammy bar that stays in tune ( not undermining the floyd rose ) and all the trouble of changing strings.

[Brian]

Well if your going the floyd way, your going to have to get the templates and route it out from both the front and the back.

I'm going down that very same road soon, it's a bit of a step for me since up untill now I've just been freehand routing and using my own home made guides to help.

Wow. That brings back memories. I used to have a guitar that looked almost exactly like that. Same pickup and everything. As I recall, it had a tunamatic sort of bridge on it.

To bad I got drunk one night and threw it off the top of the dorm roof... about 5 or 6 times...
