How to block Trem?


Hi,

I've got an RG505 off the bay an was thinking about blocking off the trem/making it fixed bridge for easier tunings etc. Its got an orginal EDGE on it.. would something like a tremol-no be best or completely blocking off the trem (maybe evebn removing it and using a fixed - if thats possible)

Tremol No will offer the easiest solution to going back and forth, but a small block of wood pinched in there is the cheapest.
