Question

Small Trem Question


I've got an original floyd rose (7 string) ordered from the U.S. it'll take a few weeks to arrive and i was wondering if any of the jemsite gurus know if the new original floyd rose trem posts will screw into the existing thread of the lo trs 7 trem post holders in the body of my RG7420? I know the existing trem posts in the RG will suit the OFR but i've heard a lot of stories that the lo trs posts don't have a long playing life so i'd prefer to use the new posts without having to remove the holders mounted in the body.

Cheers

Re: Small Trem Question


not sure on the fit but it's no big shakes to pull the inserts out and swap them, just use a bit of glue when replacing them and dont put any strain on them for about 24hours to make sure they're set in place. An 8mm bolt fits them to get a grip on to pull them out, check the link: http: www.projectguitar.com/tut/postab.htm
