Re: Custom Floyd baseplate?
OYu could probably get a machinist to do it, but it will most likely cost alot. A friend and I got an estimate to make us a gear for a dirtbike and it was like 800 bucks. WHy exactly do you need a custom one? Are you making a twelve string Dr. Newc FLoyd rose monster?Comment

Thanks Tekky - I thought about that after posting here, so I emailed them. Just wondered if anyone had asked them about it before (you know how long it takes to hear from some places - still haven't heard from Ishibashi about a Semi-Custom order inquiry I placed about 3 weeks ago [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Sounds interesting, but I'm trying to picture how saddles 1 & 7 are gonna work & be able to intonate without smacking into the posts.Comment

Re: Custom Floyd baseplate?
So newc, you are converting an existing body with posts installed into a seven string? Are you cramming 7 strings into the space of six, or just don't want to plug and redrill the holes?Comment

Newc, did Home Depot give you a diploma when you graduated from their luthier program? I bet that was one heck of a Saturday afternoon. I hear the graduate course involves using bathroom tile and grout for custom inlays. [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]I want REAL change. I want dead bodies littering the capitol.

Silly question, but woouldn't it be less work and less money to just re-do the posts instead of have custom made parts?Comment
