    Kahlers rule. If you're considering a Floyd, get a Kahler. It's a MUCH better trem IMO -- easier to route for, install, set up, and they're way more adjustable (radius, string spacing, spring tension, trem arm tension).

    Well THAT was a disapointment...

    Craigslist or this pneumatic one with this pad for PSA discs is an option if you have a good compressor.

    It's for recess mounted Floyds. It allows for easier access to the string clamps and for pulling up on the trem.

    1/8" is too thin. Mine are usually 3/16" which help make very thin neck profiles, but most start out around 1/4".

    This beauty is still available. No, it's not cheap. Yes, it plays like a dream

    Have you considered using epoxy and wood flour?

    3 looks like white limba

    Awesome, thanks for the heads-up on that Peterson clip-on. I've been looking for a good way to use my Strobostomp with acoustics. Here's the latest version (TP-3) on StewMac.

    i'm going to guess that 5 is purpleheart and 1 is birch

    I'd leave it. A bit of buzz doesn't bother me, I'm not a jazz-type guy. I actually like a bit of grit.

    For about $20, I like the Korg CA-30. If you're looking for a clip-on, the Fishman FT-1 is a good deal.

    Agreed, but not being able to search for three-letter words really puts the kibosh on that. Any searches for "bit" "nut" or "oil" will throw an error. Is there any way for the admins/Brian to make the search less restrictive?

    Get some matching mahogany and glue it on, then shape it. It sucks, but it's not really that big of a deal to do.

    The EMG quick connects are RC servo connectors. Check Tower Hobbies.

    If you're talking about the "Personal Photo" under your profile, it doesn't work.

    Luckily I haven't had any major injuries yet. Mostly the common mishaps though, like drill bits slipping, the plunge mechanism on the router slipping (that was a major pisser since it simultaniously destroyed both a body and my neck pocket jig), and other minor stuff. I'm pretty safety-conscious though (i.e. paranoid), and think through every operation.

    It's kind of a pain to do since epoxy will get EVERYWHERE, but it's well worth it, especially if you're going to be using roundwounds.

    She's a stripper in Vegas, isn't she?

    Are those supposed to be necks?

    Absolutely certain it's correct -- 25" from the frontside of the nut. The route will need to be opened up to accomodate the bridge. Thx
  24. DC Ross
    Hmm, double-post. Sorry bout that

    Hey all, I'm installing an OLF Floyd (redundant much?) in a Guitar Fetish Strat body that's HSH routed, but there isn't enough meat forward of the bridge for the posts (see pic). My initial reaction is to A ) use a different bridge, since the mounting holes would be further back (customer really wants a Floyd though); B ) Glue a shim at the back of the pickup route (but I wouldn't be able to match the finish); or C ) Relocate the neck somehow. Any ideas? Here's a pic of what I'm dealing with (disregard the "centerline" notes - that's a separate issue): Thanks, -dcr
