Unless there is another bridge that fits and has fine tuners...?

Thanks for the reply's.

I figured there would have to be routing involved, but I was more concerned with the posts. Everything I've read has the posts spread out more than the Wilkinson (which is on there now.) I was hoping they had a floyd with the same post spacing so I didn't have extra holes.

Maybe a little background would help. The whole reason of switching to a floyd is because when I put this guitar together, I bought a wilkinson and a jackson neck that has the Floyd locking nut without thinking. Well, I can't use the locking nut without fine tuners. Thus, my retro problem.

I'll try searching and see what I find.

Thanks,

Is there a way to retro fit a Floyd-Rose bridge onto a strat? I know that pegs are spaced differently. Or do they make a floyd rose to fit? I have a strat style guitar that I would like to get floyd put on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm having the same problem, I'm putting a wilkinson trem in. I'm not sure exactly where to drill. I don't have a template either. I'm also unsure on what size to drill the holes for the bushings.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I just figured we're in the same boat.

sweet... thanks

Just thougth I'd give an update and another question.

I got the neck and it fits in the standard strat pocket perfectly.

The neck is predrilled and slotted for a floyd rose locking nut, but the body is routed for a wilkinson bridge. Do you guys think there will be a problem with that combination?

Thanks,

The BC Rich will be fine, I'm eventually cutting a new body for it anyway......

Does anyone happen to have the dimensions for a standard Fender tremolo route, specifially the posts? I'm putting in a wilkinson bridge in a new body I bought, but the post holes didn't come drilled.

Thanks,

Thanks for the input. Its a 22 fret neck so I know the scale length will be ok. Well, I guess if its a little bigger I could modify it.

Hello All,

I'm new here. I'm just starting to get into building my own guitars and thought this would be a good place to hang out and learn stuff.

I have a quesiton though, I'm putting together a guitar right now and found a Jackson replacement neck on Ebay. Its going on a strat style body with a standard Fender neck pocket. Do the Jacksons have the same pocket dimensions? The only reason I ask is because I though most bolt-on necks had the same Fender pocket, but my BC Rich is actually 1/16" bigger. That kinda threw me off. I appreciate any responses.

Thanks,
