Can I change the bridge on this?
I'm just wondering if it is possible to put a double locking tremolo system on my rhoads flying v:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7...ase_pid/511564/
I also am looking to replace the bridge pickup with a hotter pickup, so any sugggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't want the pickups to necesarrily sound real "distorted". I just want a bit more low end than the stock pickups, but while retaining the clarity of the single notes like my stock pickup does. Thanks
P.S. Its not that I dislike this guitar, because I don't, I prefer this over my RR3 that I also own as the feel of the guitar is better to me, but I want the tremolo of my RR3. |

I can't comment on the bridge, but seems like you might want a Seymour duncan JB or distortion pickup.

if you had it done by somebody else, you'd have to pay a whole shitload of money for the whammy bar, and the routing... probably more than you payed for the guitar itself. Just buy a new guitar.

I was very bemused as a youngster watching the Golden Girls when Blanche said she was going to "spank her fanny" I had visions of a geriatric vertical bacon sandwich red and bruised from being disciplined!!!

Yea, thanks for all the input, I will probably just change the pickups and use a whammy-pedal or something, because for some odd reason, I like my $200 Rhoads from Jackson better than the RR3.

You can put a floyd or whatever in it. there is AMPLE space for the routing. look around online find the trem you want. find the dimensions the body needs to be routed. rout the body. install the bridge...simple...
