Gotoh 510 on a Strat build

[Disco Scottie]

Is there any reason this wouldn't work? I've been playing PRS for a long time, and I'm very comfortable with having just a stopbar under my hand. Looks like the Gotoh is the closest thing Warmoth has. I'm also open to other stopbar-style alternatives, if you have one.

The 510 has a slight curve to it that makes it ideal for carved top bodies.  It also is mostly used on Angled necks(pockets).

It may place the strings too high and too much curve for the strat neck body combo.  That would be my guess.  I would double check with W.

If you are looking for a one piece...check these out.  They specificially state they can be used on flat top models.  As long at height is not an issue, I would think it would be fine for a strat.  I really like the last one...Schroeder.

The 510 is an option in (strat) body builder. "Gotoh 510, Angled Pocket" and wouldn't think W put it there, if there were issues.  :dontknow:

I agree, I've looked at the Schroeder and like it as well. I wish they came in black.
