Help me route a recessed tremolo!


My second project guitar is just around the bend! (hopefully)

I need some advice on routing the tremolo. That is the only part I am really worried about, as I have an experienced carpenter by my side.

I appreiciate any advice, big or small.

Is it pretty much strait foward?

Oh yeah, It's gonna be an Edge Pro 7.

Re: Help me route a recessed tremolo!


If you have the body plan, should be straight forward (also assuming you have the machinery).

If you don't have the plan (or have a really custom body) be careful with the location of the route, as it will obviously affect intonation if too long or short (beyond adjustability).

All I can say is it gets easier eveytime you do it, and be as prepared as possible. Other than that enjoy the experience of crafting your own guitar!
