I'm about to start a project guitar (but not from scratch, starting with a cheap Warrior style guitar and modding it), and I was wondering how much difference the bridge would really make. I have an '89 Charvel 375 with a Charvel Branded Schaller Floyd Rose bridge which is awesome, nice and chunky, with enough weight to move it precisely up a semitone or two without any 'warble'. My only other experience with a Floyd Rose is from a Vintage Reaper guitar which is supposed to be a 'licensed Floyd Rose', it feels thing and less stable than my Schaller, plus it took a long time to find a spot where it would balance and stay in tune after messing with the Tremello Bar (and the only place it would stay stable, the action was too low and there was some bad fret buzz). This cheap guitar I'm getting also has a licensed Floyd Rose, and I'm considering spending $185 on a new Schaller Floyd Rose to replace it with. I would like to know what your opinions are on 'licensed' Floyd Rose trems compared to the Schallers and Originals, and do you think it's worth the money to upgrade.

I'm about to start a project guitar (using a cheap Warrior shape guitar as the base, stripping it down, and doing it up as I like). The 24 fret neck is inlayed with dot markers. I was wondering if it would be possible to remove these and replace them with trapezoid inlays (don't ask me why, I just prefer trapezoids over dots and sharkfin). I've looked at the proces of putting in dot markers in a new neck, but not trapezoids, and was wondering if it's much harder to be able to replace the dots with trapezoids. Thanks for any help

I'm considering building myself a Warrior (jackson style) from a cheap Keiper guitar (stripped down and repainted). Over here in the UK I could buy a Jackson Warrior XT for about £350, and the cost of the cheap guitar + all the parts (from the US) would cost me a little over that, but I think it'll be worth it in the end). I was wondering how the pickups in the Jackson Warrior XT (Duncan Designed [hr104n] [hr104b]) compare with these two : Seymour Duncan Screamin' Demon Trembucker (bridge) Seymour Duncan Full Shred Trembucker (neck) I would expect these pickups are better than the ones in the XT, but I'm not sure and would like your opinions of the pickups I've chosen.
