Shimming a floyd bridge

[Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars]

Any one know of a good tutorial?

Also, If you have a wolfgang or EB Axis, I am doing a flush mount detune only floyd. Can you give the neck angle and all that stuff?

Better yet, can I use the shaller 14 inch radius saddles?

Any one??

you can use whatever Floyd you want. You'll just need a radius gauge, and Floyd Rose saddle Shims.

1. Measure the radius of the fretboard at the last fret with the radius gauge

2. measure the radius of the top of the strings with the guitar strung and tuned

3. install shims under the saddles on the floyd until the string radius matches the fingerboard radius

Thanx...Now what is my angle for the flush floyd?

[Scott Rosenberger]

that's a tough one I usually route the neck pocket with roughly a 2 degree angle and start from there. then I add a shim if needed to get the correct action. There's no science to it because of varying fingerboard thicknesses and fret heights.

I hope you can understand what I'm trying to get at. It's hard to explain. I can visualize it in my head but it's hard to put into words
