Suhr Thornbuckers. The standard versions. I'm hoping to wire up today, but I have a huge work deadline today, so we will see...

looks great. Grain on both the body and neck looks really nice.
Genuine question: why opt for a floating two point non-locking trem instead of a locking two point floating trem (Floyd). I've always felt the non-locker has all the downsides but none of the upside compared to a Floyd.

I agree about the benefits of a FR. I have three guitars with them. But there is a different tone with non-locking trems. My non-lockers stay in tune very well. Just a different tool for the job is all....

Love the guitar, you always have great taste. I know each guitar is different, but how would you describe the difference in tone between a full locking setup and a non-locking bridge?

Finished it. So far it feels and sounds great. I'll make a clip tomorrow.
I swapped the stock Gotoh springs for Three Raw Vintage ones and all is well now. The Thornbuckers sound awesome in this guitar.

I know for me, I find guitars with locking nuts always feel stiffer than those without them. That would be one reason for me to use a non-locking trem. They usually play better in terms of a flexible feel.

For me FR loaded guitars feel looser and non-locking feel tighter.
The biggest difference is that non locking seem to have more color in the overall tone. FR loaded are more direct and pure. I like both. Lately, my FR loaded guitars are the most played. But this woodcaster feels really good ... we will see where it ends up...
