Ibanez Tremelo and other questions

[Lima]

Hey guys, I'm a noob in guitar construction and probably have obvious questions but would be glad of any help.

1) At the moment I have most of the info on the drop-down menus provided on the warmoth site set and ready for the body. However, the Floyd Rose Bridge that I want to install is the newest Ibanez bridge (a la Joe Satriani/Steve Vai) which is to say an Ibanez Zero Resistance II Bridge and I wanted to know if this would fit with any of the Warmoth options given for the Floyd Rose routes, which are Schaller, Wilkinson and Originals. Thanks.

2) If I haven't explained myself properly please say, I'm not totally aware of the tech side of things. Also If this bridge can not be fitted with their existing menu it says to tell them the exact dimensions or send it in, though there is no option to do that so should I e-mail them my problem?

3) I live in England and there is this cool guitar painting shop which does nice art work and I was going to have this as a finish. So should I leave the body by Warmoth completely unfinished or would it be easy for this guitar shop to paint on a laminate top or gloss or something?

4) Can regular passive strat pick-ups fit in an EMG pick-up hole or would it be a squeeze?

5)Last but not least I was wandering about the tuner hole size, if I just pick one (I don't know too much about machine heads preferences, pros, and cons) e.g. gotoh and buy some gotoh tuning pegs would that fit definitely?

Cheers, these all kind of look dumb now reading them back  :laughing7:

I can't speak for the trem rout situation, but I know that I wouldn't spend extra for Warmoth to paint it before you get the artwork done on the guitar. Also, normal strat pickups have a sortof lip at the bottom that makes them very difficult to fit in anything smaller than a standard strat pickup rout. I know this cuz I tried to fit two singles into a humbucker rout together and both the lips of the pickups and the cavity had to be slightly modified in order to fit.

Email them. They will tell you what to do, and they may know what to route the body for

Leave it unfinished

No

Choose your tuners first, then select the appropriate hole size.
