Re: since Xeromus killed the other thread...
Sorry, if I knew more people could gain info from that thread I wouldn't have deleted it. But in summary: OFR out of the box: 10", Schaller: 14". But mike already got to that AND the fact that shims are available. So fretboard radius is a non-issue. You can match the bridge radius no problem.

Re: since Xeromus killed the other thread...
I'll be honest... there's some minor problems with the bridge on my Music Man; not enough to hamper playability but its enough to be annoying and hamper sustain a bit. Buying replacement parts for it is turning out to be an absolute bitch, too. I'm hoping the Warmoth-sold OFR is directly interchangeable with it. So far, the radius matches!
So anyone know if MM double-locking trems are swappable with OFRs? It's the same trem used on the Axis, but its on a '95 silhouette and it came stock. Here's the guitar...

I was under the impression that OFR's were available in either 10 or 14. I might be wrong though.

Re: since Xeromus killed the other thread...
They are, the saddles are interchangeable with the Schallers (i.e. Same saddle/ different radius)
B2D, The MM Gotoh floyd is a high-quality unit and I wouldn´t usually recommend replacing it, but an OFR should be a drop in or at the most "minor mod"

Re: since Xeromus killed the other thread...
I bought an OFR from Warmoth, and as i was installing it, i noticed that there were shims under the 2 inner most saddles, right out of the box, giving it a radius of 10". I simply removed the shims, and it turns into 14" or 15" I think. either way, shims should come with the floyd.

Aw maaaaan....
The OFR is NOT swappable with the MM trem. A 1 mm difference on the polepeice width and a 5 mm difference in the length of the trem block means NO.
Looks like i have to wait on GC and MM's ordering departments.
