Replacement Floyd Rose for Washburn N24

[ledvedder]

I'd like to replace the cheap OEM FR that is on my Washburn N24. But, I'm concerned with the angled rear edges, as I don't see any aftermarket FRs with rear edges like this. Does anyone know of any?

I’ve had shitloads of floyded guitars over the years and unfortunately, the only ones that ever came with those angled sides are some of the “licensed by” Floyds made before the original patent ran out. As far as I know there isn’t a high quality replacement for the ones shaped like that. I’ve got several of those laying around I’ve pulled and replaced with OFR’s but you’d have to obviously route out your body to do that.

I'm considering going with a Gotoh GE1996t and just routing for the straight rear edge.

It’d be easier to file the Gotoh baseplate to fit, I would think, but either way works. Good luck!

I love the Gotoh 1996t and put one on both of my LP Axcess. From front to back the Gotoh is bigger and instead of routing the guitars I shaped the Gotoh with a dremel tool with a metal cutting wheel. Take your time...easy to do. If I didn't tell you you likely wouldn't notice on my guitars.

That's great advice guys? I'll definitely consider that.
