I want to make the V i have a standard hard tail guitar.. what is the best way... i would prefer to fully remove the trem from the guitar rather than just having it blocked or putting a tremsetter or similar device in.
it would be great to get some sort of plate that you can attach with mounting for a TOM bridge or string thru over the route on any floyd rose routed guitar.

There was an Ibanez Joe Satriani guitar which had a fixed bridge shaped like an Edge/Floyd, because he liked the tonal properties of the bridge but wanted a hardtail.
I don't know if it could be used to replace a trem bridge though, or even if it's still available.

i think floyd rose do make some bridges like that, but i dont know it it would fit onto my guitar, if its a straight replacement.. thats something to look into
-
either block it off in an easily removeable way or sell it and buy one that has what you want.

Put a Jenga block behind the bridge block.

i was thinking sell it.. but i dont like the current production version as much.

Following on from the other thread, kahler do a fixed bridge which will fit onto their Floyd route cover-plate. (I'm just giving you the option, not saying it's what you should or shouldn't do)

Yeah, I just re-read the post. I went outside and helped the wife with the shopping half way through reading it last time. :?
If you don't mind refinishing it, then you could block off the hole with a suitable bit of wood, drill for TOM and then refinish. A fair amount of work though.

You could probably get a schaller 456 in there without it looking too much like theres a gaping hole in the guitar. They're about the size of an FR and the pegs, if the trem has 8mm pegs, should go in the same holes without much/any trouble.
Failing that, I'd say just tremolno it. Screw the claw screws into the body a fair bit so the trem sinks into the body, lift it to the correct level, lock the TN up and tune up and you'll have a fixed bridge that makes the guitar more resonant and lively with more low modes as well (vibration transmiting through the TN into the body).
