nonamemx Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 How hard would it be to convert a vintage style tremolo bridge on my Peavey Predator (strat copy) to a non recessed floyd rose? Would it be a suitible beginner project? Anybody have routing designs? thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 It would be a pretty simple project assuming you have access to a drill press. Converting the nut is a little more difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAI6 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 You do realize that without recessing the Floyd, you need to angle the neck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Only if the Thickness of the Floyd is greater than the Thickness of the Bridge being replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonamemx Posted May 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 ah, okay. I've chickened out, I will just enjoy my hardtail (its actually a tremolo, but it sucks so much, 2 SMALL trem wobbles will immediately throw it out of tune. It is a really cheap guitar, It cost me $150, but I love it to death and it beats the hell out of a MIM or MIA strat, IMO. It has a poplar body but it somehow has amazing tone. So thanks for talking me out of a mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 does it have a locking nut or tuners? That seems the obvious solution to your tuning issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonamemx Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 No. It has really cheap tuners. They seem to hold a tune very well, as long as I dont use the tremolo. The tremolo is extremely stiff. I may have to do some adjusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
