graveofdarkness Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 Hi guys, PLEASE HELP! I'm building a Randy Rhoads flying V guitar with a floyd rose lic. bridge I got from ebay. I need the distance for the springs between the middle of the bridge block and the end of the spring claw. I got it at 4" right now but I can only put 1 or 2 springs depending if I want the bridge above or below center with 70mm springs. I want to put atleast 3 and have it centered. Can you tell me the distance or know somewhere I can find out? Quote

graveofdarkness Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Posted January 12, 2006 well I kind of figured that but how do you figure out the right distance? Quote
stiggz Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) there is no set "right distance" for all trems, string guages, or setups, if u want ur trem level or slightly below level then wind the screws in ur claw in so the spring tension is higher, or if ur trem is below level and u want it level back the screws off untill u are happy. you will have to do this every time u change between string guages (eg from 9's to 11's) luke *edit* didnt mention that u dont have the claw flush with the back of the cavity *edit#2* the bridge isnt actually a speedloader, its just cheap crap Edited January 12, 2006 by where's the beef???
