necroreaper Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hey all, For my next project I’m installing a tremolo for the first time. I bought a Gotoh trem and naively thought it might come with fitting instructions or even a nice template for the routing. I was wrong! How do you guys go about routing for trems? Just wondering if there is a specific set of measurements I need to take from the trem to make sure it fits. If it helps, this is the trem I’ve bought: http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Seven_Str...ystem_GE1087TB# Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supplebanana Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 going off the info, i'd use a standard vintage strat template & increase the width of it by 11.3mm (string spacing=11.3mm, 1 extra string so it needs to be 11.3mm wider) and to be sure I'd route it on a piece of scrap to check for fit/operation before condemning a body blank to the Eternal Fires of Damnation. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereordinary Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Check out the trem routing template set that Stew-Mac sells on their website. There's a tab with instructions on hoe to use the templates. That could probably get you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
