          So how much can you pull up on a non-recessed floyd without special routing?

          I've been playing on a TOM guitar for a while, and I think I greatly prefer the bridge height as compared to my guitars with a recessed floyd.

          I'm seriously contemplating that CS RR I've always wanted...

            It depends on how much of an angle the neck is to the body. On my Charvel Model 2, without shimming the neck, I can pull up pretty reaspnably far, at least a perfect 4th on the open g string before the bridge hits the body. But I have come across Floyds on Jacksons from the 80s that were very close to the body, limiting how far you could pull up...maybe a whole step before you hit the body.

              I don't do many pull-ups, but I like the low-profile feel of a recessed Floyd.

                I prefer non recessed. But if I remember correctly the early 90's Pro's had a non recessed neck angle but the body had a shallow recess cut in it for the ability to pull up. At least that's what I had on a Rhoads pro.

                  I play with a Les Paul and an SL2H. I don't have issues with high or low bridges - they all work for me. But I sort of like the look of non-recessed better.
