Switching fixed7-bridge on RG7321 to a Floyd Rose?

Roland · #1 12-14-2003, 12:23 PM

Since i'm planning to buy the RG7321, which obviously has a fixed bridge, i was perhaps wondering if it would be possible (And affordable) to switch the bridge for a Floyd Rose. The questions here are: what would that kind of an operation cost me? (Mounting and everything included...) Would it be worth it? (Since the cheapest 7-string guitar with Floyd Rose here in sweden lands in at about 1100€) And is it possible at all?

Thanks in advance for the advices.

Anything is possible, but in my opinion, you would be MUCH better off buying a used RG7620 off eBay and having it shipped to Sweden than cutting big holes in a 7321.

I did a quick Web search and came up with prices of USD$140 to $180 for a recessed Floyd Rose installation. You might have to pay extra for a 7-string since jigs and/or templates are less common (or nonexistant). And you have to pay for the trem itself on top of that.

As mentioned before = Cheapest 7-string Floyd Roser from Ibanez ~1100€. (RG1527 or something like that) Trust me, i've checked it. (Crafton-catalogue. Official Ibanez-dealer in Sweden.)
