before i order this, can anyone tell eme if the holes are drilled into the body for the floyd rose tremolo or not?
1247455
yes, they are drilled and the body is drilled for the neck screws but the neck itself is not drilled.

Mine came with a tailstock live center; a headstock drive spur/center with #2 morse taper; and a 4" face plate that screws on to the 1" x 8 threads. These are entry level size and shape, but all are quite serviceable.

you would need to do some work on it, how much would depend on the type of tremolo bar it was. but in short, yes. there is room for one. my advice, buy one with bar already installed.

Like a snug fitting glove. I have a strat with a floyd rose tremolo and it fits perfect.

No. I think the tremolo arm you have will fit. I did find that I needed some metal bushings to keep the bridge from being movable, but that's an optional thing. A luthier friend installed those for me.

Depends on the hole placement and fret number, it is a 24 fret neck on the Alston, and the holes aren't in a square formation

It is all metal,and comes complete,screws , allen wrenches,springs, saddle,spring claw and everything,I play jacksons myself and have this tremolo on one (complete) and ordered another just for parts to rebuild one you really cant beat it(value wise) like i said it may be a lil rough around the edges but it rocks!! true it is a knock off but it's the best knock off out there! if you need a whammy bar and dont have $150 bux to shell out for an original than this is the best deal going!! as long as you have your intonation set up correctly, and everything is alligned properly, theres no undue wear or tuning problems whatsoever....

You have to cut off the ball end of the string, just as you would with a real Floyd Rose. The string end is clamped in by a set screw on the bridge saddle.

If they do it is an easy installation, if not you can take them to your local music store and they will install them for you. It is TOTALLY worth it, whatever they charge. I put these on an Ibanez and it would stay in tune for days!

Check spring tension under back plate and check tremalo block for cracks also under back plate ps:never store guitar in case or gigbag with tremalo arm instaled

Sam Ash SKU#ARTCXXXXX - Floyd Rose Tremolo Arm (Chrome). We have them in stock. Thanks Robert.

No, this won't work. The screw holes are different. I think your best solution is to install more springs to deck your tremolo and take the bar off, honestly.

Okay, this is as close a measurement as I can come up with, but the holes are just a hair over three inches at their widest point: I used one on a Gibson LP, and it fits fine.I have an Artist, but it's from the early 80s, and I can't recall if the spacing is the same on a Les Paul, although it shouldn't be too hard to Google that and find out. If it is, it'll fit the Artist, too.And it's worth the money -- very smooth, cuts down on a huge percentage of the "tuning creaks," and holds a tune vastly better.

It good for the price, if you need parts. You will have to look closely at the string clamps and construction, because the styles vary. Here is a higher quality version: http://www.guitarfetish.com/NEW-BLACK-Super-Heavy-Duty-Floyd-Rose-trem-BRASS-STEEL_p_510.html

Yes. It is 3L & 3R, with a very vintage look. I installed them very easily; although some stock Grover's or wilkonson's have a different type of mounting angle on the rear of the headstock. Make sure you have the top & bottom screw holes from the stock heads or you might want to drill a little, or call the guys that take a bunch of your money to do a job that looks really simple. Cracking and integration of old screw holes could even do more damage. I've been at it since 4, never stick with stock hardware IMO; anyway, these will fit any 6-string 3x3 especially with headstocks like with a LP & SG. Have fun. Take your time. They always have people to help so good luck to ya. Yes. It is 3L & 3R, with a very vintage look.

This assembly is also about 1/4 inch taller than the original Squier bridge assembly, meaning the block will stick out the back side of the body on some. Squier bodies are variable in thickness. And both points made by Filipe are correct. So, measure the holes in the front, be prepared to not use the trem bar or have to route the body (see my review), and watch out for the block to stick out the back of the guitar. Good Luck.

and i was reading previous answers, with adapting it to a strat you dont need to do all that. you just drill two holes and fill the older 6 holes. but its not just drill and youre done. you need to position them perfectly along with the neck, and just wide enough to squeeze the brackets in. they wont be aligned with the trem cavity, it will be off to the left a bit but thats normal. its called non recessed floyd rose trems. look it up itll help.
