Thread: STA-1M with a floyd style trem?

    STA-1M with a floyd style trem?

    as a huge fan of the big EVH I would like to suggest an ST style kit with a floyd/locking trem on it, i'm not really a big fan of the ibanez style and i'm very surprised that this hasn't become available yet, anyone else think this would be a good idea?

    Shoot dingobass an email here: dingobass@pitbullguitars.com but keep in mind that you will have to pay for the routing and the floyd yourself.

    Hey TheDuke,
    check out Kurt's build diary he got a friend to route a FR trem on a mockingbird MB build.
    If you have a router and make your own templates you could do it yourself but would need quite a few mods
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in

    I just finished building a frankenstrat with a neck from the STA-1 and another body. Would love to be able to make the 5150 kramer one day...

    Found out that BYOguitar has a kit similar to the Kramer Pacer although not 100% accurate with the body shape. Wonder if the suppliers are able to bring something like this in...
