It had to be done!

[sah5150]

I had to change this:



into this:



I'm a bar freak, what can I say... While I have some regular fender bridges that kinda stay in tune, these Charvel brass bridges just WILL NOT, no matter what nut sauce I throw on it :LOL: and nothing (for me) beats a Floyd...

...and yes, that is a titanium floyd - all parts are titanium (even the bar) an yes, I'm completely stupid for paying that much for a Floyd, and yes, I only did it because I think it looks cool, not any tonal magic...

While the purists will hate me for this, I am thrilled!

And here's two 21 fretters from the Zoo (Musiz Zoo Robin's Egg Blue Early Serialized and Nitro Series). Monsters, both of 'em:

Nice!

[Axewielder]

Nice. So was that refinned then? Any progress pics?

No that is the original Robin's Egg blue guitar, I just put a Floyd on it??? The white one is a different guitar if that is what you were thinking...

Love it with the Floyd.

Oh OK. I thought those vtrem conversions would leave those 6 holes showing from the original trem unless you filled and refinned. I guess they are hidden behind the OFR? Hard to see from above.

Nice..I saved the pics of your original spec guitar as I liked the color so much, way cool with the Floyd!!

Yup, those holes are there, you just can't see 'em in the pic or actually at all since the Floyd hides 'em...

That guitar went from being a nice fiddle to a killer axe. Well done.

[Guinny]

I love that Music Zoo Nitro aged!

I am thinking of putting my US neck which is pretty dirty looking but great onto a custom made relic body to reproduce the Music Zoo guitar.
Unless of course you want to sell me yours!!!

[ginsambo]

You have just created art with that guitar.

What pup rings did you use BTW? They look like Seymour Duncan Trembuckers in cream with dimarzios/duncans or are they just Dimarzio shorts in cream?

Fucking Awesome! Floyds fucking rule, period. Anyone who thinks differently should be kicked in the nuts.

Quoted for truth!

The blue egg one looks sooo good. I love the color of the titanium Floyd Rose on it. How are the titaniums? Have you noticed any difference what so ever? I guess you don't have to worry about wearing it out!

[dvscool]

Agreed - it had to be done! Nice dude

Personally I prefer hardtails. I do agree though that if you're gonna have a trem it should definitely be a FR. Nice job on the conversion.
