Re: Floyd Rose 1000 upgrade: Gotoh?
True... we did file it, it still doesn't get back to tune after a pull-up... some chipping on the posts and knife, I think I know it is the knife edge and posts because it is the same syndrome with my strat, I had to deck it so now it goes only one way and works alright. I tried multiple set up strategies with this one, nothing expertly, but still I gave it some hours... I have just read yesterday that the bridge need not be parallel to the body with Floyds, maybe should try different angles, but then need to try some angles with the neck too I guess... anyhow tomorrow someone else will look at it. By the way I located a Schaller Lockmeister I can actually get - there is a problem of transfer of payments we are having here - where I can choose block and nut size, unlike Thomann - disappointing - and for a very reasonable price IMO, still for a bit more money than Gotoh. It is a company from Russia on Reverb, 'Rockstargear'. Honestly a Russian company wouldn't look trustworthy initially but it appears to be doing good work. Nothing against Russians, I might not trust a Turkish company - that is me - if I were a buyer from Russia, it is a world-situation thing. If anybody knows them let me know.
