You may need to lower the retainer bar quite a bit to the point where locking the strings does not affect the tuning.

Consider removing the spring plate and block shim from the Floyd, as well as all the radius shims. It will get the bridge somewhere near 1mm lower (give or take a bit). I can't tell from the pictures in your thread if you've already done this. For the nut, the correct way to do this is to lower...

It sounds great without the bright cap but it’s a warm sound when rolled back. Really becomes more versatile with it. When rolled back to about 4-5 on a 500k pot it sounds kinda stratty or tele-ish. Thin in a way that’s great for cleans. I think I have a 150pf cap and no resistor and that works...

Got the bridge 36th (dp223) in my no1 with a bright cap on the volume and it’s a super versatile pickup. Love it.

I was actually using both a katana 50 and a spark 40 at the time I bought this amp. For me the endless options meant I spent more time tweaking than playing. That coupled with the fact that the few tones I wanted felt very artificial out of those two modellers. The JMP1C is incredibly simple and...

Actually if you want the neck’s position to remain the same distance from the bridge you would have to add material back to the vertical heel surface in the pocket rather than route it out more. Since the neck pocket is already routed this is obviously not feasible. I wouldn’t worry about it at...

My reasons for the Gotoh are: -If you flush mount the Floyd, the beveled edge allows lower bridge height -The saddles feel better for resting your hand on the bridge or palm muting -The fine tuners have much more range, so much that the D tuna is unnecessary For me those things make the whole...

Ah I see. I did my most recent build with the Gotoh and I do like it a bit more than the OFR. Never tried the schaller though.

Gotta say, my favorite is the green. I too am a soloist enjoyer. Seems like you’re a fan of the schaller Floyd. Any particular reason? Have you tried the Gotoh Floyd?

Seems like your measurements were done in inches not in mm. 0.021mm is basically imperceptible. I’m not really sure any normal measuring tools could produce such a measurement. 0.021” would make sense though. Which is actually 0.53mm and seems reasoanbly close to the PRS measurements you...

That is a very cool design.

There is too much censorship everywhere, and Aaron is right about it affecting genuine creativity. It’s all music and guitars over here 😎 no politics or drama.

Try swapping an A2 mag before a whole new pickup. It’ll soften and warm it up.

Were you using the dp223 or the dp103 in the bridge position? Also the fortitude might be worth looking at. Slightly different eq take on the dp223.

Very exciting to see you were able to create the plan you wanted. Seems like this is going to turn out very unique, and very useful for the way you approach playing. I’m looking forward to seeing how the roasted swamp ash in gloss contrasts with the roasted maple.
