    Hope everything works out well, I'm still in the process of organizing someone to do the Floyd Rose installation on my guitar for me, been doing some test-fitting and haven't come across any major issues so far.

    What do you need done on the installation?

    Basically, the nut-shelf needs about 1mm routed off the bottom of it to give enough wood for the nut to sit on, and the routing for the bridge needs to be done in order for the bridge to sit properly to ensure a low enough action when the strings are tuned up to pitch, also the mounting holes for the nut needs to be drilled so that the mounting screws can go through the neck.


    Oh, and also the holes for the bridge pivot-posts drilled too.


    The guy I've talked to about doing the installation doesn't know if he still has the needed routing templates as it's been a long time since he last did an installation.
