Gotoh Floyd - compatible with the non-recessed Floyd route?

[Ace Flibble]

I'm after a guitar with a non-recessed Floyd, figured I might as well go to Warmoth once again. My problem is I want the dive range and tuning stablity of the Floyd but I hate the usual Floyd screw-in arm, figured I'd try the Gotoh.
Only thing is I can't find out if the Gotoh will work fine with the non-recessed Floyd route. I've found a lot of discussion about putting it in a recessed route (though I can't find a straight answer on even that, lots of people say it will fit, lots say it won't), but I've found nobody talking about putting it in non-recessed. The other problem with this is the studs. I noticed the Gotoh's studs are a bit wider than the OFR's studs, though I hear that the Gotoh can work alright with the studs from an OFR. Is this true? If I buy the studs form Warmoth when I place my body order, can they install the studs for me (I see that option mentioned on the page for OFRs/Schaller Floyds, but not on the page for the studs separately).

tl;dr: I want to use a Gotoh Floyd Rose, mounted on OFR studs, non-recessed so the base of the bridge is completely flat against the top of the body. Will this work?


One other thing is the locking nut, Warmoth don't seem to sell locking nuts in any size other than R2, is this a temporary thing?

first off, call your order in (don't know why non recess floyd isn't an option )
second, here are your nuts http://www.warmoth.com/Floyd-Locking-Nuts-C839.aspx?s=Name%20ASC&p=1

Calling's not so much of an option for me since I'm not in the US and I work bizarre hours. They'll all be sleeping when I have the time free :doh: I did e-mail Warmoth about this a couple of weeks ago but got no response yet, hence this thread. Guess I'll drop them another mail.

Though thanks - I can't believe I didn't notice the second page of nuts.

It'll work perfectly.

I have a gotoh Floyd in a recessed route, and the saddle bolts are just the tiniest bit too long the way I have it set up, but since you want a non recessed, this is irrelevant. The body studs that come with the Floyd will not fit into a warmoth body that is routed for the OFR studs, so just buy some OFR studs and pay Warmoth to fit them for you. The bridge will fit with both the supplied studs and the OFR studs.
