The Schaller Floyd Rose is identical to a regular Floyd Rose in every way that matters. Schaller makes (or used to make) Floyd Rose trems for Floyd Rose. The only real difference is that Schaller trems use shorter string lock screws which makes a more compact trem, so the body routs for them...

From what you describe, I think you'll enjoy a brass block - a much 'mellower' metal IMO compared to the usual suspects.  I love mine. You might also want to try a different set of tremolo springs, I have a set of these and love them - they're made from a softer, but more robust spring metal...

In a similar vein... I spec'd an ebony fretboard for my neck, when I got it - it had all these light colored streaks through the wood. I was kind of pissed because I was expecting a deep, uniform black. At first I even looked into getting black dye so I could dye it a solid black. But then a...

Awwwww. You had me right up until the 3rd bullet point. I suppose we musn't make the Fender Custom Shop nervous... As far as an interesting story: I even had the artwork I created for my guitar stolen by the Royal Airforce Museum in England! A-Z build thread...

It needs a Floyd! -ORC

Congrats docteurseb! Love the stained tuner keys. Carry on.

I've had and played them all. IMHO, Schaller trems are superior to OFR (even though Schaller makes them) or Gotoh. I prefer mine with the steel spring plate removed and a nice brass block. Schaller FR's are a more compact design and come from the factory with the short lock screws shown in your...

No January? No July?

Nice! Looking forward to see someone else's vision take form. Just remember - pics, pics and more Pics!  :rock-on: ORCRiST

Very nice, but it needs a Floyd!  :icon_thumright: -ORC

Just pullin' your leg, its not my cup o' tea to say the least. Congrats on your purchase though, I look forward to seeing completed pics. Maybe you'll finally use those springs...? :icon_thumright:

I also have to vote for brass. In my personal experience nothing beats a quality bell brass block mated with these: http://www.rawvintage.com/eng/item_springs.php You want killer tone and sustain, pair those two and rejoice. ORC

I'm always a sucker for candy colors, red especially, and I love the Khaler trem. But I can't in good conscience vote for a tele! Gotta go with Kuro's April shredder. Good luck everyone regardless, awesome guitars all around. :rock-on:

Sorry Cagey, I'm sniping that before you decide...  :evil4:

Yeah, not my cup o' tea - but that DNA inlay is badass! :rock-on: ORC

Looks like it came from the FCS? How about this one?  :icon_biggrin: -ORC

That tremolo is called the Jackson JT-6 and it is, without a doubt, one of the best tremolo's I've ever used. I have one in a box that I've always wanted to get re-powder coated and build a guitar around it. I just need some disposable income...  :sad1: -ORC

Hell yeah. Back in the day, I wanted one of these SO bad: I always loved the black/red cracked 'volcanic earth' vibe. Neo, I have this Dinky DKMG and love it. I picked it up on ebay for $200-ish (due to a ding on the rear of the upper horn) and was blown away by the finish (its always...
