Changing floyd rose

[fredo]

Hey not sure if this is the right section to post.
May i know how much does it cost to change the floyd rose bridge of my guitar to a fixed bridge? Where can i get it change for cheaper and better deals?
Thanks in advance guys!

What's your reason for changing?

If you can live with the 'fixed' bridge 'effect', look into getting the thing blocked. If you die die want an actual fixed bridge, get a new guitar. The routing for the entire tremelo system will make it hard, if not impossible, to mount the bridge.

How about Tremel-No? It looks cool

sorry to hijack but even if u screw the bridge down to permanently lock it down, do u still tune the guitar the long way like normal fr type bridges?? or is it just tune string by string ala fixed bridge units??

If it's for tuning stability you should just get a new guitar.

Hi guys. Thanks for the reply. Yup its actually because of the tuning. I can only get a new guitar only if I sell my current guitar, but to date no one seems to be interested in mine. Hence, thinking of changing the bridge

which guitar is this, bro?

if you replace this, subsequently, it's more difficult to let it go in the after-market...

Cort X-6 (red)
Can't seem to sell it despite trying for 7 weeks. :S

in this case, you just have to swallow some pride & let it go below whatever clearing price you have in mind. the Cort X-6 isn't equipped with the Original Floyd Rose locking bridge so many buyers are skeptical when it comes to issues pertaining to functionality & durability.

ok thanks! will try to let it go asap!

i've played the X-6 in store many times. the neck profile would invite shredders to perform their best & the body bevelling there would rival a Music Man but it's pretty much ignored because it's a 'CORT'- it doesn't speak volumes. if anyone out there is thinking of getting this guitar, it's very acceptable, just that you have to deal with the bridge as patiently as you could. if you don't whammy, you just need the feel of such a bridge in there, then there would be very few issues to address.

my suggestion would be to block up the trem. have to set the trem angle right, cut a piece of wood, jam it in the cavity. glue it there and it's done. guitar connection can do that for you. it's not that expensive to do so.

if you want to convert it to a fixed bridge guitar, that is a different story and IMO, just get a new guitar haha.
