[@gordobot24]

Good project and well documented. Appreciate all the work you put into this.

ITS SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!

[@Crazytownmetal6]

Good thing it's only a 100$ guitar. Thanks for the video sir.

[@rvmguitarsmusicmore7980]

Actually, I bought it for $50😅 but it plays really good I love the action. I will be posting videos using this guitar very soon.

[@Crazytownmetal6]

@@rvmguitarsmusicmore7980 Good deal. Good work. Good video. I want to do the same thing to an old Fender Strat I have but I'm scared I'm gonna screw it up. I hate the original saddle. It makes palm muting difficult for me.

[@rvmguitarsmusicmore7980]

@@Crazytownmetal6 I agree with you with the saddles. If you are not yet used to working with a router I would suggest you practice on a few pieces of wood before doing work on your Strat. When I did this work I was anticipating that the aesthetics would be worse. But what the heck, the guitar now does what I wanted it to do. It screams and the tremolo stays in tune. I am sure EVH(RIP) did a lot of mistakes when he first tinkered on his guitar, that is quite a relief for me. But be courageous and confident. I wish you all the best in your Floyd Rose install project.☺

How did you choose your router bit?

[@rvmguitarsmusicmore7980]

Hi! for this project I chose the 12mm bit. Since I was a complete beginner and this was my first project, I figured I will use the bit that will have the minimum damage possible should I make any mistakes. Which I did on this one. Also, I chose this bit so it will be as close to the radius on the standard Floyd rose pockets on the edges/corners. After this, I’ve had 2 more projects wherein I used the same 12mm router bit. Thank you for your question and for viewing this video.

What's the music playing in the background, please tell me the name.

[@rvmguitarsmusicmore7980]

The background music is just me noodling around and experimenting with recording with garage band. I might someday work on it to make it a complete song.

[@punkntdead]

@rvmguitarsmusicmore7980 I want to play it, I do different covers, you can check it out on my channel. Your music sounds like 80's movie music, very cool. Too bad the quality is bad and I can't hear some moments to play it right ((

Studs for the floating bridge one is already broken x.x this is the problem.

[@GaryCost]

I’m just wondering WHY anyone would even want a Floyd rose on any guitar, let alone a cheap Strat copy!?

[@user-1-800-spanked]

quick tidbit, the old style strat trem 6 screw, the floyd front row of holes for intonation setting actually lines up and once you put at least 2 on each end you will see where your holes need to be drilled for stud mounts

[@christopherallen5603]

Ya he butchered this guitar.. when are folks going to stop with the router and use a hammer & sharp chisel? Oh god, now he's got out the router lol

[@christopherallen5603]

If you don't have a proper routing jig- learn the old world skill of a mallet & chisel!!

[@wadestrickel7068]

A Dremel tool works great too! (If you have one)

[@Gnaus76]

This was painful to watch Horrible background music

In what way?

@@justinwaddle5286 Should we start with the very badly timed playing and go from there?
