Title: FR bridge replacement
Post by: maxingwell on September 18, 2006, 12:54:40 PM

I have a TRS101 bridge (in an old yamaha RGX321) which I want to replace with something better. Do any of you know of any bridges that would be a direct replacement or recommend any better bridges?

well, www.floydrose.com has routing templates on the site, so that'll give you the dimensions you need.

www.wdmusicproducts.co.uk has the routing templates for the gotoh floyd rose (it's the ge1996tc model, if i remember correctly, that's the good one)

and if you email schaller (google their website, i can't remember it offhand), they'll send you the routing templates for their double locking trems...

other than that, it's just a matter of measuring, i think.

I have a funny feeling that I read on http://www.jemsite.com that the space between the studs on a trs-101 is the same as an OFR so that might be a good option to avoid much woodwork.

Thanks for the info guys.
That ebay seller says he has some black ofr bridges too so I might go for one of them.
