Muris i remember you saying your bridge isnt floating- however its a floyd rose and iv seen you alter pitch in both directions (i think)...care to explain the finer details of the bridge set up?

Cheers smile.gif

Good question Deep,thanks. smile.gif

It's same type of bridge as on my Muscman Axis,Floyd Rose but it's laying on the body 100%.
So you can't alter pitch up,only down.
It's done very simple,by NOT making regular hole for Floyd Rose but for tremolo bridge.
Good thing about it is when string breaks rest of the strings stay in tune,awesome. biggrin.gif
Plus you have much more of tone and sustain cause bridge is well connected to the body.

You can see size of the hole bellow.

Thanks for your in-depth reply smile.gif

Wow thats an ace idea- never heard of doing that before now- do you never feel the need to alter pitch both ways? Or do you think the tone and sustain is too badly affected?

You're welcome wink.gif

I don't feel ANY need for alter up,makes me concern of string condition. biggrin.gif
And every whammy trick I use is 99% based on lowering the pitch so I'm fine.
About sustain,can't tell exactly how much do you use miss with floating brigde
but you do miss some,that's for sure. smile.gif

Perhaps the color, yeah.
But this color and finish are fully custom tho,
we were in the chamber and Mirza was doing painting,
I was giving him directions on how much and where. smile.gif
