Just a question…. What does it take to retrofit a Floyd Rose ona Les Paul? Can the nut be easily routed for a locking nut bolted through the back? Does the neck need to be reset at a lower angle to place the bridge down where it needs to be (instead of way in the air like a TOM?) I think the Axcess, while looking like a Les Paul from the front, is designed quite a bit differently than a typical LP.
I’d love an Axcess or made to measure but that’s in the stratosphere. Finding a more reasonably priced Les Paul and a good luthier is what I’m mulling…. (Or alternatively a Warmoth, PRS SE or LTD)

I mean, the locking nut has to sit at the correct height, sure. So one either has to remove wood or use a shim underneath. But from there on, the strings are locked in their place, not much to set up there. Or is it beacuase of the radius? If yes, I understand what you're saying, but I gotta add that once I calculated how much difference there is in string height when the Floyd nut is not exactly the same radius vs an exact match. It turned out to be so tiny that I find it to hard to imagine it can impede the setup of the proper action. Given how the strings spread towards the bridge, that much difference can arise from having a fixed raidus on the neck vs the actually compund one of the plane of the strings. Or am I missing something? (I'm NOT arguing, only asking!)
