Tremolo post spacing..???

[PoorOtis]

I want to put a new tremolo(the old ones wore out) on a 1968 Charvel HSS,
but I was told that the Post Spacing is different on different guitars!
Is that true?? Can't I change the origional Kahler to a Fold Rose with out a lot of trouble??

Unless its a kahler steeler I think your boned on doing it without much trouble. Most of the trems I remember on 80's charvels are going to need some routing to get them to work with a floyd.

The Original Floyd and various licensed ones typically have 74mm post spacing (centre to centre). Some, like the Gotoh, have one straight knife edge which allows for looser tolerance.
