    is there a trem-spaced Custom 5?

    hi folks

    is there such a thing as a trem-spaced Custom 5? .. if so, is it production or customshop? .. and how much would one expect to pay for one (new)? ...

    yeah, i am an idiot and didnt ask about a trem spaced model when i ordered mine last year ... the trem is blocked, so i just plain forgot it HAD a trem .. so i am thinking of swapping out the C5 in my avatar guitar for a trem spaced one so that it would be 'just right' .. while i am at it, i am thinking about swapping out the duck for a VR in the middle .. damn, this really is a sickness, isnt it

    thanks for any help

    cheers,

    Hi t4d -

    I got a trem spaced C-5 from Black Rose no problem. He had it in stock.

        T4D,
        I've got regular spaced C5's in two of my Floyd equipped guitars and don't have a problem with them. The difference will be negligble IMHO.

        STRATS: Custom Strat - Lil 59/Classic Stack/Hot Stack, Jackson Fusion - C5/JB Jr/JB Jr, Kramer Pacer Custom - CC/SSL-1/SSL-1, Schecter V-1 Plus - C5/SSL-6/SSL-6, VH1 Strat - 59, Fender Partsocaster - C/PG hybrids

        LESTERS: Edwards Sykes Custom - DD/DD, Edwards Custom V/white - JB/59, Burny Floyd Rose Les Paul
        AMPS

          I have a tremspaced C-5 in my reverse metallic blueburst strat. I think it is better to have a trem version in a strat or Floyd guitar. I'm not sure how much the tone is different, but it looks more correct. My question for the dealers is, does the C-5
          come in a neck version? I'm assuming it would have a little more output than a
          59, but have a tighter bottom - great for low notes up on the fretboard.
          If they don't have one, it's probably because few people want a neck pickup that's hotter than the 59.
