I can see that there is not much wood between the screws/insert and the trem rout, so if I needed to drop in bigger inserts the holes would need to be screwed larger. The use of poor quality soft metal for the phillips headed screws instead of an allen key type socket seems like a poor money saving choice by the manufacturer. My immediate concern is to get the screws out before they are too stripped to do so. Sorry a bit of a ramble, but before I start taking it apart, any advice would be appreciated. Would I need to take out and replace any existing inserts? I think that replacing the mounting studs, and fitting new ones into the existing holes could be where potential problems arise.Īlso, would upgrading the locking nut result in an improved performance? I need to check it the guitar has mounting inserts or whether they are screwed straight into the wood. The Gotoh GE1996T and Original Floyd Rose are also 74mm, so should fit. How straightforward would it be and what FR trems would fit? The distance between the two mounting screw holes is 74mm. This made me think about the suggestion made to upgrade the bridge and that this could be my first modding project Also I'm convinced that it is a terrible bridge system as it needs constant tweaking to stay in tune. However, the two Phillips mounting screws on either side of the bridge are made of cheese and are stripping. Huge improvement, now plays very well with low action. Straightened the neck, adjusted the springs to make trem level with body and lowered the bridge to as far as it will go.
I was thinking of selling, but I've had a go at giving it a proper set up with the help of very useful ESP Youtube video. It has a Washburn 600S Licensed Floyd Rose trem, made by Takeuchi. Please note: Buyers outside of UK will be responsible for paying any import duty/tax if required.I have a Washburn MG-42, the subject of another thread.

This shape maintains the high level of comfort and ergonomics as featured on our Ascari model, This single cut away shape has a slightly less "moulded to body" feel compared to our Ascari model, giving a freer feeling for the player when sitting down due to the slightly smaller body and less sculpted upper and lower bout.
The Farina model is a guitar body shape designed as an all-rounder workhorse that is suitable and comfortable for any guitar player and playing style.
