I'm so pleased to see this. I had to have mine professionally set up as the intonation on the low e was so bad it was unusable out of the box. The frets on mine had to be redone, a shim was taken from under the locking nut and the nut refitted. It is fantastic now but I was really surprised that it hadn't been prepared properly. I was surprised you kept the scratch plate. I had mine changed to cream and put an off white volume knob on. When I can find a cream bridge pick up I like more I'll have that put on as I don't think the zebra pick up suits it. I like it so much I tried to find money for another one to really personalise but couldn't. Thank you for posting.

Moved the volume pot closer to a 'Strat position and added a 3-way toggle switch instead the pull-push pot.

Good catch on the Floyd radius. Everyone oohs and ahhs about compound radius but none of these manufacturers shim the saddles appropriately when they build and set up. So the interior strings are too high compared to the 1 and 6. No attention to detail. Id rather just have a straight 12 so I could get away with not shimming. Some tuneomatic guitars like LTDs will have a 14" radius and a fixed 12" radius bridge. Lol trash for 1200 dollars.

How do you determine what the final radius of the Floyd should be with a 12-16” neck? Also I’ll be using a Gotoh GE1996T with 36mm brass block. Would you happen to know if the shims and fine tuners are interchangeable? Love the look of the brass but don’t want to spend the money on a new Floyd.
@brutesmagootes3996
Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately I don’t know if the shims will work with other bridges. As far as the radius, that can get complicated to figure out, but an easy way of doing it that works most of the time is base the increase from the nut to the 12th fret, then use that to the bridge. So in my case I was about a 20” at the bridge.

I like a lot of what you've done here. like, I just took mine to get set-up/sorted, and it's like... the radius thing really annoys me too! does not make sense to have a flat bridge when the neck has a curve, makes it so annoying to set up. also the shielding; I took mine to get sorted because I'd gotten a ground loop (was fine initially), so that makes so much sense and the fuckin' heel!! far too chunky out of the box, so yes to that all I'd say as far as negatives go is that I'd have been more subtle with the headstock job, and that mayyybe the pickguard needs weathering a bit? that's just me though!

@@brutesmagootes3996 From what I have found, they are made in the same German factory where Schaller makes the original Floyd on behalf of Floyd. They have a page up on their site showing the options and PDF sizing downloads. You can order nuts and bridges that have different radius. It seems pretty cool and is built of the same steel and all of the Original Floyd model they produce. Should be a drop in replacement for most Floyd guitars. But you know how that is sometimes. 😂 “Was your guitar made in the first two months of 2019 or after that?” “After? What day? Ok, Yeah you need this other part number then….”

Awesome to see someone who takes the time to continue the radius back to the bridge. It's one of my personal niggles.......life is too short for mis-matched radii! How many shims did you end up using?

Hey Bro, I also have this amazing Guitar. The fretwork is pretty good on mine. But I think you did some awesome upgrates und it also looks amazing now. Just a question. What was the reason for you to Change the neck PU. I think the DiMarzio is doing a good job. And what is the difference of the 1984 Floyd? Thanks for your answer. Cheers Flo
@brutesmagootes3996

Thanks man. The Hot Rails is more my to my personal liking. It’s warmer and hotter. As far as the Floyd, the main things are the 1984 has brass fine tuners, a good size brass block (although I replaced that), old style trem arm (although I replaced that with a push in) but the main thing is it’s built quality is much better than the 1000 series.

Yes, you need to continue the compound to the bridge, which for this guitar was around a 20" if I remember. Unfortunately, I don't remember my shim combination that I used. Many have asked for it...I should have written it down.

Most neck screws are #8 x 1-3/4". But your best bet would be to measure the stock screws and make sure the ones you order match. If you still question, just contact the company with the screws you want and double check that they will work.
