On my guitar, the Floyd Rose has the older style screw in mounting posts, with the flathead screw thing rather than the allen key one. My question is, can I buy a new style one with the allen key and the collar and put it right in the old hole with no problems, or will there be some reamage required?

Re: Another Floyd Rose Question
You would need to drill out the holes a little to match whatever bushing size you buy to replace the wood screws. I have a few early floyded guitars that have the wood screws and what I noticed is the holes are closer to the bridge pickup route and if I went to the bushings I'd afraid there wouldn't be enough wood left to suport them...the extra diameter of the bushings would run too damn close to the p/u routeshawnlutz.com -

That is, of course, if you DO have woodscrews - there is one revision between the woodscrews and inserts where the post has a slot head but goes into an insert.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well I'd leave them be as long as it stays in tune fine. Otherwise get the narrowest bushings. I think Stew Mac sells two different bushings, the Schaller and Floyd ones. The Floyd ones I believe are a tad smaller.Originally posted by Boxcar Willie 84:
