Charvel Fusion+ with a OFR

[Razor X]

Hi guys, I received a OFR for mine Fusion+ but I have a problem. Overall the bridge fits nicely but the string lock screws are a bit too long, so the bridge cannot go fully back because the screws are pressed against the body. Is it possible to use shorter screws? I've tried the screws from the schaller but their too chunky. Or do I have to remove some wood [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Thanks in advance

Codex, if I understood your problem correctly, you may need to get the longer block. Sounds like the guitar is non-recessed. I believe the correct block is 42mm.

But if I get a longer block the screws will stick out even more right?

His problem is that the locking bolts are stiicking out past the route, towards the butt end of the axe.

Only solution for that is re-routing or living with the limited travel [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The block that I now have is about 35mm.

Re: Charvel Fusion+ with a OFR

Zerb is right. You are using a OFR in a Schaller rout.

FLOYD ROUT



SCHALLER ROUT

That's nice, so the OFR's base plate is(35mm)ok?

Re: Charvel Fusion+ with a OFR

Codex, you´re on the wrong track if I understood you right.

Again, the problem is not the Floyd, but the rout...enlarge the rout or live with it... Or put in a Schaller trem (in that sense it IS the Floyd, but..)

Ahhh.... I see. Codex, disregard what I said. Your problem is with the routing of your guitar, not the block on the OFR. Sorry for the confusion. Now, go get the router. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Charvel Fusion+ with a OFR

Besides the Schaller will a Floyd Rose Low Profile replace the JT580?

Re: Charvel Fusion+ with a OFR

Hehe so I just need to remove some wood [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]



Now I got about 6mm space by the baseplate, that is just normal right?

Thanks for the input [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Charvel Fusion+ with a OFR

No.

The easiest fix for this is to purchase a Schaller or Schaller-style Floyd Rose and save the OFR for another project. (I normally save them for top-mounted tremolo applications - less headache for me) The string lock screws on the Schallers are shorter and are essentially what was on the Fusions to begin with. For a cheaper solution you could purchase shorter string lock screws that will fit a Floyd Rose (floyds and schallers have different diameters of string lock screws)

Another fix would be to re-route the tremolo cavity, but not at the location you've indicated. You indicate that you would extend the route deeper at a point behind the pivot points. This will do you no good. You need to remove the wood underneath the string lock screws, where you were having the problem.

Re: Charvel Fusion+ with a OFR

Codex, they do make shorter string lock screws for Schaller/Floyd Rose II bridges. Not sure about compatibility with the OFR, as long as the thread pitch is the same you should be good.
