Hello

I have a custom (handmade) guitar with fixed bridge and I would like to have a tremolo on it

I'm not quite sure which one I need so here is my specs:

- tune-o-matic bridge

- flat top

- neck angle

- stratocaster headstock

- individual string spacing : 0,410 "

- e to E string spacing: 2,02 "

Basically it's almost a LP style guitar but with a flat top surface so I don't know if have to choose a 2200 / 7200 serie to use my t-o-m studs but my body is not ached or the 2300 /7300 series for flat top but I won't be able to use the studs.

Help me

i'd say the 2200/7200, since u already have the holes for the posts.

but first check your neck angle, if you have a typical Les-Paul neck angle, then go with the X200. if your geetar is flat-top and have almost no neck angle (sorta Tele or Strato), then go with the X300.If you go with the X300, u'll have to cover those nasty holes where tune-o-matics used to be. Go with the X200. (is only my advice)

I'm still hesitating between a 7200 or a 7300 kahler, on the website it says that it's only 50% chance that my existing studs are at the good position to install the 7200. If not I'll have to make new holes and relocate the studs to install the trem... If it's the case then I'd rather go for the 7300 directly...

My body was pre-drilled by warmoth (scale 25 1/2, flat top and t-o-m) and here are the measurements of the bridge: (maybe wammi wil be able to tell me if it's going to work with the 7200?)

thanks

Anyone know where i can buy acrylic/plexiglass or clear body guitar?

all i know is that galveston and grand make some.

strat body would be preferred

You can find a lot of acrylic strats on ebay

thanks for your quicks answers. I think I'll sand it slightly until the neck fit perfectly into the neck pocket...But I'll try to leave a slight layer to protect the wood from outside agressions (humidity and temperatures changes,) this way my finish will probably stay on longer.

Hello

I'm building a guitar and the body is having a chrome finish done right now, all the body. When I get it back do I need to sandpaper the neck pocket for better tone or can I keep the chrome on, this way the whole body will be sealed against humidity and temperature variations? Would it affect the tone and sustain if the wood of the neck is not directly in contact with the wood of the body?

Thanks

Hello, I'm planning on building my Z vex Fuzz Probe into my guitar. I'm pretty bad at electronics so I need some good help about wiring it inside... Anyone tried this before?

Thanks

Thank you that's very usefull. I'm a bit silly cause I read that a few month ago but there is so much stuff to think and remember about that I 'm really going to write down everything.

Great website, thanks

Hi everybody

I'm new here and working on a guitar project.

I have been looking at most of the tutorials about tips but couldn't find exactly what I needed:

So I'm making a solid body guitar with tune-o-matic bridge, humbuckers, neck angle, etc....

and I was wandering if the distance betwwen the neck heel or 22nd fret and the sadlles on the bridge have to be specific??? I have a template from a picture but it's not really accurate (+ or - 5mm of accuracy). Would it change the intonation or create any other problem?I have all the correct measures to set the hard tail (tilted) in relation with the bridge.

Thank you
