marko_slash Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hey, does anyone have any Fender Stratocaster floyd rose - edition blueprints? I know that there are few models with floyd, but any blueprint is ok! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'm not too sure you're going to find those exact blueprints - but StewMac does sell a Floyd Rose template that you can use on any guitar body (provided you know how to calculate where it goes).

Donovan Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 anyone? I had installed an aftermarket one on my American Std back in 2000 or so. It has since been removed and you can just barely see the edges of the holes I drilled for the Floyd beneath the replacement pick guard. If I recall correctly, I think they come with a template printed on a sheet of paper. No dimensions, just cut it out, tape it on and drill. If they still do this, maybe some kind store owner might allow you to open a package and take a photocopy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalhead28 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 The Stewmac site has a page that will tell you where to place the posts in relation to the nut. I think it's the "Fret Calculator" page, because you'll have to input your scale length. I'm pretty sure on a Strat the posts should be 25" from the nut. (Double check that!) If you've got a standard Strat that you're modifying for a non-floating Floyd, you won't have to do much routing, you may just have to drill a clearance hole for the bottom side of the bar.
