I'd guess you can probably get replacement blocks for OFR and Schaller bridges, but it's not something I know much about.

I was thinking about the V's body being thin because I saw an old Burny V that someone had put a Floyd on - the trem rout had cut right through to the pickup cavity so you could see the bottom of the bridge pickup!

i don't know, to be honest. i'd wait to see what feline says, to be honest.

I'm a little concerned with my gotoh and ibanez (which i haven't got round to fitting yet), for similar reasons...

dave, yes thats good advice i think. i sent a pm to feline earlier, in case he had a trem in stock.

the depth of the trem block might be a problem - but i've measured it closely, and i think i'll just be able to get away with it.

but, i've now noticed a new problem - the (non ;)) locking nut is attached from the front. gotoh locking nuts are clearly described as being attached from the back. this will probably turn out to be a problem too. i dont know if schaller or offical nuts attach from the front.

dave, do you think the gotoh nut could be attached from the front anyway?

i've had lots of practise now(!) pulling this thing apart :) i'm feeling pretty confident i could set a floyd up decently now, if it was of good quality.

lemme check, i have the gotoh one here (and i checked to make sure it was the right way round with my ibanez one).

EDIT: yep, the gotoh one attaches from the back. it sells separately to the gotoh trem... i don't see why you couldn't buy a gotoh trem, and then another locking nut that attaches the correct way (unless there are some scale length problems? i doubt it, though)... that is, if you can find any for sale that attach the "correct way" for what you want.

thanks for checking that.

i did a little research. apparantly you can get 'top mount' and 'rear mount' nuts, and even nuts that can do both - so that should be sortable after all, with some other non-gotoh nut.
