  1. okay, so basically what i've got going on is a standard tremolo, the kind that attatches with six screws... if i adjust the screws on the claw to relieve the tension on the bridge block.. then the tension on the strings will raise the side of the bridge opposite to the six screws. Then will i be able to bend the pitch in a similar way to that of a floyd rose? what i'm wondering is will this setup. a) break anything important on my bridge and b)work like i think it will? thanks for any help
  2. first of all... after reading through this whole forum i just wanted to say that you guys were being a bit condescending to the guy who freaked out... around page 1 or so?... and i agree that one does need to figure it out by them selves, but one needs 2 things to figure it out... 1. instructions, which this guy got, but didn't necessarally understand... and 2. the answer, nothing but nothing is more frustrating to me than doing a whole bunch of work and then in the end once you're all done finding you've messed up at the begining... ive been there and done that! lol... now that being said... i just want to clarify... First i draw my fretboard to scale, including fret height, then i draw the bridge.. but this drawing looks to be for a tuneomatic bridge, would it be at all different for a floyd rose? also someone mentioned that i should adjust the bridge to about half height... then i draw the desired action... now for someone doing their first guitar what's a good action height? on http://projectguitar.com/tut/action.htm brian mentions a few actions, should i set my neck angle for those actions or for some slightly higher (leaway for error)... then i guess i connect the dots nut to action height at twelfth fret and twelfth fret to bridge saddle... and then its basically draw the body, and then cut my neck angle using a jointer... Also in something sligtly unrelated i want to put a top on my guitar, also i want it to be a neck thru... do i install the neck then put the top on?.. also i believe the top will be about 1/4" thick.... so will that require any adjusting on the neck angle? also i'm finding alot of the pictures in the forums aren't working... is it just my computer? thanks for any help gary
