Nice trick! Certainly makes sure it doesn't pull up. Thanks! Nice figuring on your top and Chlorine Burst. ??? Any idea what's up with some of these coming with three springs and some with two springs? Seems a bit weird.
Very nice! I do have a question for you, Troy. I tried installing a D-Tuna into my new EVH Wolfgang standard and also found out that my bridge did not allow enough travel on the long allen bolt for the D-tuna to change the pitch a full step (D to E). No matter what I did, I basically only got about 3/4 step up from D while using the D-Tuna. To make things worse, the D-Tuna would strike the body finish, not good. How thick is the shim that you placed onto the tremelo block to allow your bridge to settle higher parallel and blocked? It looks like you have plenty of travel before coming close to the body finish. Thanks!
It's been a while since I did this. I took thin wedge of wood and put it under the bridge between the body. I pushed it in until the floyd was parallel to the body. Then I flipped the guitar over and measured the gap between the bridge block and the body. Then cut a piece of wood that width. Then pushed the whammy down with the handle and it gave me space to glue the block in. I let of of the whammy bar and let the block squeeze it against the body.

Cool trick!

@@TroyCastellano Thanks for the explanation!
Would it be possible to put a brass block in these guitars?
I'm not sure but I bet someone makes one that will fit the tremolo.
Sweetwater has them. I just ordered a 37mm fat brass L block from them.
My wolfgang only has 2 springs 🤣🤣
