valkchirurg Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 He guys im planning to make a gibson explorer with Floyd rose tremelo. Is a floyd brigdge lower then a tune-o-matic bridge? If it is, do i have to angle my neck to get a good action? and is there a relation between a floyd rose tremelo and an angled headstock?

Scott Rosenberger Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 There isn't any real relation to the angled headstock as long as you use the string retainer bar. as far as neck angle, if you're doing a recessed Floyd Route you don't need one. the nec k is only angled to allow for low action on guitars with a tall bridge like a Tune O Matic.
