Thanks, I noticed that the folyd rose bridge unit is too wide for my Strats pickguard. Do I need to get a new one? Has anyone here installed a FR on a Strat? Maybe I should take this to Guitar Center or Sam Ash, I have no woodworking experience, even though GC would probably charge $70-100 at least.

I recently purchased a Mighty Mite floyd rose double locking tremollo from ebay. I have a few questions -Is there a site that would show how to install it? -I have a Stratocaster. Will installation require modification (drilling, etc.)? -How long would it take (How long will I be without my gtr)? - Is it easy to do? If anyone has installed a FR before, can you answer please?

Thanks How far did you scallop yours? Can I remove the side position markers because they are close and dont look ugly because saclloping 3/32" would go right up above the markes?

Hi, This summer I plan to scallop my fretboard. I have a Stratocaster Hwy.1 maple neck. I have never done any guitar mods before, but I played on someone elses scalloped guitar(ibanez) and liked it alot. I read the tutorial and I have a few questions. 1. Does a maple neck make a difference because, unlike rosewood, it is finished? 2. Is there a good chance I will butcher the neck and have to buy a new one, or scalloping easy? 3. I have side markers on my guitar. Will this be a problem? 4. How much shold I scallop. Is it better to scallop only, say, 13th fret and up(22 on mine), because the spaces get wider and wider going down? Or going down, you only scallop half of the space between frets because it gets very wide? 5. Will this affect the tone quality negatively because the neck is modified? 6. Finally, anyone who has done this, do you regret it? Or is it great? I really don't want to do this and then regret it later. Id like to hear a debate on scalloped necks and if they are worthwhile
