Dave,
Do you prefer brass or steel blocks on your Floyd’s. I’ve heard the stew is a little brighter, which I may like. Debating whether the new the steel block until I try it, but then I’d have to disassemble and reintonate if I want to change later
I stand corrected no thought the stock was steel. Just tried a magnet and it laughed at me. Just looked it up and it’s nickel plated brass. I feel stupidChubtone":y2py3ga3 said:scottosan":y2py3ga3 said:I bought some calliham steel screws.psychodave":y2py3ga3 said:I’m sure you have...BUT, if not, change out the neck screws and make sure they are the correct length.

Who makes a steel block for Floyd Rose's? I'd like to try one.

Did MJT make the body or are they just finishing it?
What are you doing for tuners?
Going for something like this, with less aging

I've got a KnE Charvel body. I matched it with a Pro-Mod neck and the neck pocket was as tight as you'd hope.
That's going to be a sweet guitar. Double creams and brass hardware is as good as it gets.
I recently found, on the Japanese Yahoo Auctions, a set of Gotoh crownhead tuners for $20. Twenty fucking bucks. They were 3+3, but I was to put the buttons on a new set of Gotohs. I totally fucked up the bidding process and they slipped through my fingers.
Since my choice is limited for nickel tuners and not many 80s tuners available, I just ordered a set of Schaller M6 Mini’s in nickelGreatRedDragon":90zm0u83 said:Fucking badass! I've wanted to do this project for a very long time.

I think those were schaller flat ringsI know this is an older thread but where did you get the pickup rings from? It's hard to find good high quality ones these days.
Awesome, thanks man! Working on a prepro myself and took a good amount of inspiration from yours haha.I think those were schaller flat rings
Body $169Just seeing this. Love this project
I'm one of those that went from hating relic'd guitars to loving them. I especially love the relic'd floyd - and I'm not a floyd guy. Out of curiously, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but how much would this guitar be worth if you sold it?
75% hydrogen peroxide, 25% distilled vinegar and a few dashes of salt. This created peracetic acid. You're pretty safe if you get it on your skin. It's not as quick as muriatic I usually be just drop parts in a and periodically check them ever few minutes with a plastic spoonHow do you go about aging your brass parts? I have a brass bridge I'm looking to age and was curious cause your stuff turned out fantastic.
