What non-locking trems are a drop-in replacement for a Floyd?

[Disco Scottie]

Maybe one or more Wilkinson?

Floyd posts are 73.99mm whilst all the other common bridges are 55.9mm (F Am Std, Wilki)
even the 6 screw is 55.9 for the outer 2.

Seems crazy that after all these years, no one has offered an alternative that fits.

A direct replacement hardtail would be nice too... I would have thought schaller would have made on by now.

There it is.  Who makes it?

 

[Disco Scottie]

I believe that's a Schaller. I saw that a couple years back, but never followed up on it. Pabloman, do you know where to purchase it?

 

[pabloman]

It's called a Schaller Roller Bridge, So Allparts will have it. If you have an extra arm and leg you are in business. Theres one on the bay right now for $120 ish with free shipping. ccasion14:

That takes care of one end.  Is there a new neck on the other with a non-locking nut?

I remembered something I bookmarked a while ago, and I found it!

It's the Ebanol Nut for Floyd Rose. Here it is installed:

Allparts has 'em for $30. They come in 1-5/8" or 1-11/16". Here's the link.

And here's the link for the Schaller trem pabloman showed us.

That nut needs to be stored away in the back of someone's mind for the rare Showcase neck with FR nutshelf that one's gotta have but isn't a Floyd guy.

Indeed.  I've seen lots of sexxxy necks that I shrug my shoulders about when I see they're pre-cut with the Floyd nut shelf.
