dgk2448 Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 ok, my squier strat is already fitted with a vintage style tremlo, would it be possible to fit a floyd rose on it without having to carve my body out. i know i wouldnt be able to pull up on it but im more worryed about the dive bombs.

crafty Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Yes, but you may have to shim your neck angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haggardguy Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 You'll also need to drill new holes for the mounting posts and anchors and you'll need either a locking nut or locking tuners or a locking clamp behind the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgk2448 Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 ok i have another question, would a strat tbridge with locking saddles and locking tuners work tothe same tuming stability effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggardguy Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Not as much as a floyd but it would definately be an upgrade from a standard strat trem plus I'm not sure if those bridges have fine tuning screws so retuning might involve more work? I don't really know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoads369 Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 i dont think many, if any, of the tuning stability vintage trems have fine tuners; i've never seen any of them at least. if you don't want to deal with routing/chiseling your fingerboard, i suggest getting one of the tuning stability vintage trems and put a tremsetter on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggardguy Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Don't get a tremsetter, wait till the tremol no comes out,its much more useful . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
