Anyone know what it takes to install an Edge trem into a guitar with a FR route? Can it be done? I assume that Warmoth won't route for an edge. Thanks!

It's a standard size humbucker route. I've tried it through a few different rigs. Including a marshall JVM, line6 Flextone3, small peavey tube amp and a POD. Oddly enough, I first noticed the tubby bottom while running direct out from my POD. I chalked it up to the POD. But, even with real amps...

I recently put together a chambered, Black Korina Strat with a maple top, canary neck and ebony fretboard. After a ton of research, I decided on a screamin demon.  I had heard a guy play a mini demon in a strat and absolutely loved his tone. Plus, I had been playing a basswood guitar with a JB...

Check this out: http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/msg/1123496359.html Got me thinkin', "Hey, I've got a beater strat I'm planning on refinishing.... maybe I'll do this!" What do you guys think would be the best way to go about finishing a project like that? More specifically... what would be...

Just installed a Schaller FR with the screw-on, collar arm. It's driving me nuts because even when tightened all the way down, the arm has a bit of up and down play in it. Makes subtle trem movements and flutters very annoying! Anyone have a fix for this? I seem to recall a schaller FR back in...

Hey all! I just want to go on record as giving biggie props to Doug for doin' this work! I was gonna post pics of my "stripper plate", but I see he beat me to it! He did an awesome job nailing the original design (which was kinda tricky... I had some backup strippers waiting in the wings if that...

Strange pic. I have an '82 smith strat and it has the standard strat jack.

Yea, it's all custom. No showcase stuff. I'll drop some pics as soon as it arrives!  :headbang:

Hey all, Just wanted to say that I did it. I went ahead and pulled the trigger! Thanks for all the great advice, and you'll be happy to know I followed some of it. I went with the black korina. I was also able to get the canary neck. Now, we play the waiting game. I'll get some pics up when it...

Those of you out there with FR strats... what are you u using for tuners? Seems like it's getting harder and harder to find non-locking tuners. Kinda redundant with a FR. Any thoughts?

I'm gonna have Warmoth do all the  work. And  yes, I know what I'm getting into. I used to have an early 90s ESP Mirage Deluxe with a recessed Schaller FR. It was never a problem. It just makes more sense to me than having it resting on the body. If I were going to do that I'd just get a wilki...

The canary/ebony was my first choice, but canary is not listed in the price chart. When I asked Warmoth about it they were kinda iffy about it's availability. And unfortunately there are no canary/ebony necks in the showcase with abalone dots. :( I agree that picking the body from the showcase...

Wow! Thanks for all the great responses! You all sure know how to make a newbie feel welcome! After a little more digging I realized you guys hit the nail on the head! I think the black korina is the way to go. Tonally, it's right where I wanna be. Plus, it looks great. And that answers the...

Hey all! I'm sure you get a lot of this, but I wanted to float my idea out there for some of you more experienced warmoth peeps to look over. I'm getting ready to do my first build and I wanna make sure I get it right. Here's my concept: Strat style Front route Chambered Swamp Ash w/ Flame maple...
