Other than changes to the neck pocket angle and string height over the body, are there any other disadvantages/dislikes to trem backrouts? I don’t really pull up on the bar much at all (if any) but unless there are significant cons, it seems that back routing would be prudent.
For those that keep your trem flush mounted, doesn’t that eventually booger-up the finish beneath the trem’s baseplate?
FWIW, on my Strat Plus and Squier Strat ( both with two point trems and neither are backrouted), the trem’s baseplate floats about 1/8” above the body and is parallel with it. My Floyd Rose guitar (Kramer Striker) is in pieces currently so I don’t know how much float space is available without back routing.
Thanks.
