Serius13 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm just wondering what people think about the recessed and non recessed routings for a floyd rose. Which one do you guys think is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Depends on how far you like your strings from the surface of the guitar. I play guitars with no neck angle, so I'm partial to recessed TOM's or Strat-style bridges. HOWEVER, I can't stand a recessed Floyd, it puts the strings far too close to the guitar surface for me. Choosing which route (no pun inten... well, yeah, pun intended) to go with affects a lot of specs for the rest of your build. You ARE planning on building one, correct? *stern glare* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serius13 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yah Im planing to build one. Im planning to build a V in the shape of the one on your profile pic. One of the major reasons that I was asking was because I like to use a EVH D-Tuna and I had to take it off my old guitar with a recessed route because it was digging a hole in the finish beneath D-Tuna when ever I Pulled up.

Xanthus Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Don't know about a D-Tuna, honestly. Conceivably, you could route a space into the top for the D-Tuna when you plan the recess route... I don't think it'd look too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
