urbansmurf Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 hi again i just got a Floyd Rose II floating tremelo bridge that i intend on putting in my explorer, which currently has a standard one way tremelo. does anyone here have diagrams or a tutorial on how to route the cavity for it? im refinishing the guitar, so i can fill the current cavity and route an entire new one if needed. i looked on the post about converting a strat to a FR, but im not sure thats what i need...

urbansmurf Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 also, do FR's use regular tremelo springs, or are they special push/pull kinds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtommyb Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 to that second question first... Normal Springs, its the tension of the strings that keep it floating so u can pull it up (tightening the strings so loosening the spring) or dive bomb (loosening the strings but tightening the springs)... and the 1st 1 i would assume its the same. well at least the same ideas take place. so i would just follow the tutorial and just make any adjustments to it that make it work.

urbansmurf Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 aye, after talking to a friend i think i can figure it out. if i get it in but it wont pull back, do i just move the spring holder thing closer to the bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
