Im wanting to change to a Schaller bridge, but dont know which to go for as I would like it to be a relatively straight forward swap...structurally and cosmetically. Basically a bridge with the features of a Floyd, without the hassle Any ideas?? p.s. Doesnt have to be Schaller, I've just heard good things about them and Steve from Area54 popped one on his Kelly, he just cant remember what bridge it was...

Yes, reseting the float is a bitch, but you CAN change the strings quickly without having to reset the float(if you don't change string gauge that is)...here's how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwNVjNohOt4 the trick is to block the trem in place, of course some small adjustments may need to be made. There is also a great guide for floating trems in this months Guitar World(think it's this month). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I've already decided to keep the bridge becuase I only need to change strings about once a month...and I do love the bridge in every other way...
