Floyd Rose Radius- When will they offer better choices?

[Mr Metal]

Slightly off-topic...do Kahler trems provide for individual saddle height adjustments?

Oh yes.....Practically everything adjustable on an original design (not FR licensed) Kahler ............

Sweet, I thought they might be. I have a Kahler fixed-bridge guitar, and they are 6-way adjustable.

[shredmonster]

How about Schaller - are they adjustable?

If you're talking about the Schaller Floyd and individual saddle height adjustment - then the answer is no. You'd have to use shims, like with an OFR.

Including the tuning, as it will require quite a bit of adjustment if you use a kahler trem like it was a floyd.

That's true, but the Schaller is 14' at the bridge and nut. A much better choice for many guitars. The problem is that the rout is different. I don't know if it will still drop in, but there will be space behind the bridge, as it doesn't require as large a rout as the FR.

Not sure about the trem, but Schaller locking nuts R2, R3, R4, R5 are the same 10" radius as Floyd's (according to Warmoth who sells the Schallers and routes their necks specifically for Schaller locking nuts).............See http://www.warmoth.com/hardware/parts/parts.cfm?fuseaction=include_string_nuts and scroll to the middle of the page.

It says:

Schaller Floyd Locking Nuts (Right & Left Hand)
These locking nuts are provided with both the Schaller and Original Floyd Rose tremolos, but also sold here separately. Lock nut radius is 10 inches. Includes 2 mounting screws.

Makes sense they'd be the same... Schaller makes the Original Floyd in their factory anyway, just Schaller also makes their own licensed version.

i honestly dont notice a problem at all... is it realy that big of a difference?

I'm sure they make several versions, and I agree that Warmoth sells the model with the 10' radius. But they have another version that has a 14' radius. Stewart-MacDonald sells it on their website:

I think the Schaller bridge radius is 14 inches, not the nut. If the nut had a different radius other than 10", it would have had a different "R" designation. It would not be called a R2

The different R numbers have nothing to do with the radius, though.

R2 For 1-5/8" Nut width
R3 For 1-11/16" Nut width Narrow
R4 For 1-11/16" Nut width Wide
R5 For 1-3/4" Nut width

That's because there pretty much isn't one. Much ado about nothing. I mean, we've all been playing Floyd Roses for 25-ish years. Geesh.

off topic but do they make a 1 3/4" narrow spacing. my soloist is 1 3/4" & the Es are almost at the binding?
