Do you have one? I heard they're single lockcing or something, which he doesnt mention lol

But their pickups are good!

This OFR is $170 here http://warmoth.com/hardware/bridges/bridge..._floyd_original

c'mon guys. 170 is not cheap. the whole point of the post was to find a cheap floyd. cheap meaning alt least under 70 bucks. even that is still expensive to me.

50 + Shipping is a lot of money too, especially if you're going to be dissapointed with the product and will need a replacement.

Seriously $50? I thought maybe $20. It only cost me $16 shipping to get a box of stuff (about the same size + weight of an OFR would come in) to get to my mail box.

Maybe just get a good strat trem and do what this guy does http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showt...loating+vintage

I'm buying your book tomorrow

Wow thanks for posting that!

you could make your own. many people have. but i really dont see the benifit. 2 way adjustable ones are only 10-15 bucks. so the only benifit would be to be able to say " i made that too". but one more thing. its "truss rod" not "trust" rod.

one advantage is being able to have it any length you desire. i make mine because its one less thing to think about when ordering parts.

Cool, mind sharing how you make them?

Oh I thought they'd be more expensive then that. Trust Rod lol Too bad I can't edit the topic title.

Hey there I'm new here, cool place.

Ok so I recently upgraded my unknown strat copy (I bought it used, all it says is RedFox on the head) I put in some brand new humbuckers, new pearl pickguard and new cool looking knobs and I love it.

Since now I have a wired strat pcikguard I'm thinking of building a whole new guitar for it. I have access to pretty much all the tools I will need except the ones for fretting but I'll think of that later.

Heres the point of the thread. When I was in highschool I remember this guy was builing a guitar in our shop class. For the truss rod he cut an ordinary peice of metal and used that. Besides not being able to adjust it, is there anything wrong with it? Maybe sound wise? I wasn't playing guitar back then so I didn't ask any questions. I have a long peice of metal which I can cut and use, good idea or should I just buy a trust rod? I'm trying to keep this project as low cost as possible

Thanks!
