It's doable alright, the question is if it's worth the effort. If you look upon it as a fun project, then yes. If you're doing it to save a buck, uhm... no way.

I think it will be quite a task replacing a fixed bridge with a tremolo, and not to mention the risk of possibly damaging the guitar alot.
The other way around is alot easier

QUOTE (somecrazyguy09 @ Apr 17 2008, 08:35 AM)  yeah the only reason i ask is because the guitar i play on is a fixed bridge but i kinda want a tremolo guitar now but i feel really comfortable playing the guitar i already have and all the guitars with tremolos i've played dont really feel that good so i was just wondering if it was even possible to just pay someone to dig out the body and put a tremolo system on it. and thanks a lot for moving the thread for me i really appreciate it I'm positive you can get a luthier to do it for you. Make sure it's a high quality tremolo or you might get disappointed in the end. -------------------- My bands homepage

I don't think that's a good idea..

Think of this situation like your getting a tattoo. Think it over for the next 4-6 months, if you still like the idea then feel free to go for it.

I think you would be better off getting a second guitar with a tremelo system - take the time to find one you really like.
Apart from the advice above, you will also end up losing some sustain if you go for a tremelo, especially a fully floating one. Having said that, if your style suits it and you have a good piece of kit, tremelos are awesome and can open new places to take your playing so it is definitely worth considering overall. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
