chromaticdeth04 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Does anyone know how to do a floyd rose to kahler flatmount conversion? I have a flyer and a jackson kv-3 in which i would like to take out the floyd rose and replace it with the flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 When your saying flatmount do you mean going from a recessed floyd routing to a top body type of mounting where the trem isn't recessed at all? If that is the case I would just build a small wooden filler plug for the surrounding areas that need to be filled and reset the trem post anchors.

westhemann Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 kahler flatmount....you have to fill ALL the trem cavities i think and the rerout a smaller portion out to set the flyer in.will require a full refinishing of the instrument i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromaticdeth04 Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 The tremelo looks like it will fit but the pad in the body that the floyd rose' fine tuning screws sit on is blocking the kahler from going in fully. So it looks like more routing or just leave it alone which i hate my floyd rose and have done a simple block on it but i would really love to have a kahler in there like a dave mustaine sig.
