Nut shims or bridge shims?

 

[christ462000]

sorry Bridge

 

[stratamania]

I guess this is to make a flatter radius.

You need two shims of about .005" on the outer E string saddles and one of them under the A and B. No shims under the D and G should about do it.

 

[christ462000]

Do you mean the lower e or higher e string?

 

[TBurst Std]

Both

 

[stratamania]

Yes, both which is why I said outer E string saddles.

 

[christ462000]

Oh me sorry :headbang4:

Lockmeister or the other one?  Both have different radii.

 

[SustainerPlayer]

If it is the Lockmeister you'll have to remove the big shim (see picture 2140).

And then add small shims like on picture 2146.

 

[christ462000]

It is this one

 

[stratamania]

That is the normal one versus the Lockmeister.

According to Schaller the radius of both is 12" and with their shim 16"

The shimming data I gave above was for a Floyd Rose Original.

 

[christ462000]

Would your example work with my Schaller Floyd Rose?

 

[stratamania]

The radius of a Floyd Rose is 10".

You need to put something into the process from the information gathered.

 

[christ462000]

Well I am a bit thick and a newbie on these things I just want to know where to put the shims so I have an awesome guitar playing experience :headbang4:

 

[stratamania]

So do you have any further specific questions?

Or is there anything that needs clarifying?
