matthew bryan Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hello all, I was looking at the floyd rose copy that stewmac sells. Looking at the nut hardware it looks like you have to drill two holes from the back side of the neck for attaching the nut. Do you know if this is the only option? I have seen floyds on guitars that do not have these holes from the back side rather they attache from the top with small wood screws. Do the schaller (sp) floyds that stewmac sells have other holes and extra screws so you can attach the nut from the top or do I have do buy a different nut?

anderekel Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 The Gotoh Floyd Rose nut I bought for my build came with the ability to use either option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I've seen some with the holes threaded for the backside bolts AND chamfered on the top for wood screws. People send them to me now and then for reference when I make a neck for them, so I can't say what brand they might have been. Sorry. At least we know they are out there. -doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batfink Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Gotoh make two versions - one for rear bolts and one for top screws. All later Schaller's can be bolted from the back or screwed from the front. Personally i always screw from the front after seeing too many broken headstocks in the 80's and 90's.
