Schaller, who makes the original Floyd in their German factory, makes this own Lockmeister Tremolo. It can be ordered with like 5 different nut radiuses and 4 different bridge radiuses and different trem block sizes. Compound radius owners rejoice. But it’s spendy $$$ From what I have found Floyd’s all come 10” radius nut and 12” radius bridge. The Gotoh 1996 is 15.74” nut radius (400 mm) and 13.779” bridge radius (350 mm) Them metric manufacturing guys. lol. Seems weird but that’s what they list on their site. Almost makes me think they listed them backwards.

Found one for $ 600

I have a box of 80s Floyd nuts. OP isn't saying a thing about slot height differences of old 1980s, for example,Schaller R3 vs R4 vs Jackson R43 etc. They are all wildly inconsistent. By not mentioning any of this, this video is pretty worthless.

Great!

Are you selling this guitar? Im keen to purchase one

Im looking to buy this guitar. You selling?

Do you still have this guitar? Im looking to buy it

do you have a link to a picture of the excat bandit 112 that your using ? sounds killer

sounds very cool , what cab are you using ?

Why the Korean Title dude?

Sounds great dude! That amp is so versatile and killer!

Looks and sounds great

does the kahler feel closer to a hard tail than a floyd rose ?

Which is better between this and black winter?

Crappy)

Great job I'm waiting for my crackle paint to come in to get started on my guitar how long did you wait for clear coat to dry before you started sanding?

Kahlers are smooth. After playing on my Jeff Hanneman guitar it's very difficult to go back to the Floyd. Especially the easy string changes and the fact that I can just turn a screw and turn it into a fixed bridge.

That's a great way to show people how to swap a magnet incorrectly.

Do you even realize that you're flipping the magnet out of phase when you have them connected to each other? They should NOT connect together, yet your video is instructing people to do so? If you are swapping magnets, and don't want them out of phase with each other, they should repel each other when you put one on top of the other. Opposites attract 🤦 ps .. You also don't need to remove the tape at all. After loosening the screws, just use needle nose pliers and pull the magnet out from the exposed side

On a compound radius, wouldn't the arc continue to flatten with distance from the nut. If so, on a guitar with a 12"-16" neck radius, the bridge would be around 18".

Could you share the circuit diagram of your guitar pls? it would help me a lot.

Hey man I’ve experimented with some tubes after watching your video and talking to some guitar shops I had a couple questions. I have a tungsol 12ax7 in v1 electro harmonix 12au7 in v2 (recommended by a shop) and sovtek 5751 v3. I was told to go from lowest gain tubes in v1-2 but found the sovtek to not really make a difference. I did find the crunch channel to be quieter, the rhythm seems normal. I’m assuming something is interlaced somehow. Do you have similar issues? I’m liking the tone I have right now but might switch the tungsol with the electro. Power tubes not changed (jjel84)

Hey I know this video is 5 years old, but what’s your technique for putting in the Floyd posts? I drilled out for the big Gotoh posts and used a brass pin and an arbor press and cracked the body. Filled with wood glue and it’s a cheap body so I don’t really care, but would appreciate some tips for next time.

When this guitar is fully upgraded (like the one in the video), can it rival some 2, 000 dollar-ish guitars?

I really liked the Extreme versions Pablo did. Especially the Extreme Warrior with the cutout sharfin inlays. I will own one of those some day.

Nice build...I totally get what you're saying about those guys being "nazis"...lmao

I have a Mullard 12Ax7 Should I pop it in?

Cappy you play that thing just like George

Great video very informative. Please put more of them out there.

I think my tech matched the 10" radius of the nut, instead of the flatter part of the upper end of the neck, which is a 16". He did shim the a and b strings. It feels like the d and g strings are a little higher off the board than the rest of the strings. I am still trying to figure out what exactly is going on and how to fix it. If I get the E strings at the correct height, the D and G feel a little too high. Do I shim the E strings? That is a badass BC Rich.

If your fretboard has a compound radius then your saddle radius should be flatter by about almost 4 inches. if you have a 16 at the last fret then you need a about a 20 at the saddles.

I ll give you my zakk wylde les paul for your guitars with kahlers

Yamaha THR10 mk i ?

I have to sand the nut bottoms down on almost all floyd locking nuts because the first fret sting action is so high. I just remove the nut, and use an extra course diamond knife sharpening stone. It takes a while, but it's worth it to me. I can't stand high strings at the nut.

Do you use pedals here?

I’ve heard ppl say this is a super scooped pickup. Do you find it to be? Currently Ive got a JB and a distortion in my guitars but I’m thinking of trying one of these out or going back to the 59/custom.

Sick guitar. What locking nut size does it take?

No..low action does not thin tone. My action on Low E is .05 Inches on high E .06 its the lowest of the low and no! it dont thin tone. Also pickup height should be around 1/8th in or .025 on height. This is how you get lowest action possible without buzz! Just saying bro. I own the same exact guitar and setup my high end Mayones Duvell Elite and Kiesel aries 7 the same. Have do so for 26 years. I get it though.. different strokes for different folks. Would have love to see an action ruler on the board plus a straight line on the fretboard to see how straight it was lol

Have you used peavey ultra plus 120?

What kind of cap did you use?

Did you boost the original ts-9?

It's a really heavy sound. It's the best. What guitar amp did you use?

Not a huge fan of the style, but love what this did to the gain structure itself. Some killer punch. Would love to have heard some more of the crunch channel, with the mids dialed in a bit more. I'm stunned you're getting tones like this out of that head, from a simple tube swap like that. I'm a 70's & 80's classic hard rock guy, and this sounds like it could crush those tones. Well done!

what speaker are you using the stock shitfield ? or a celestion ? im thinking celestion speaker it sounds good man. for sure.

Running this with a swollen pickle and tones rad

Dont know if your still active but im about to drop my j80c into a guitar and i measured it at 16.05 resistance instead of the purported 13.5 J90c listed as 15.95 I also took the cover off to fit a pickguard and both rows are flat chrome pole, later run after they stoped using adjustable screws. I think i have a transition period pickup. Still using the j80c sticker but the hotter wind. You have any measurements on either?

I came with a similar tube result after test several types of tubes, 12ay7 on v3 and 12ax7's, killer tones on both channels

So the type is real!!!

Schaller now has the Lockmeister you can get a nut with 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 inch radius and 10, 12, 14 or 16 for the bridge.

Yes I ended up with a project that was 10" Radius nut,12" radius Neck and 14" Radius trem bridge. FR is 10" and Gotoh is 14" Both trem and Nut. My assumption was all 12" so I redid the fretboard 12" and switched to a R2 which is 10"....
