Shops Doing Floyd Rose-Type Bridge Replacements

[zairo]

Hi people,

I want to have the stock floyd rose bridge of my guitar replaced to Gotoh licensed floyd rose.

Is there any shop that you all can recommend that does the job well?

Thanks!

you can try guitar 77 or maestro hospital or beez if you happen to stay in the east

It prolly is a direct drop in. Dun waste money. Just DIY.

I know the shops that prolly are doing this kind of service but I was actually looking for any first hand experience before trying to contact them. Still, thank you for your reply.

Yup drop-in replacement. I don't trust myself when doing these kinds of things.

All you need to do, is to remove the strings, take out the springs, and the floyd rose will just come loose. How you take out the floyd rose bridge is how you put it back in....
You can't screw it up THAT badly....

Actually my biggest concern about this one is replacing the posts.

Not to mention, you'd need to set intonation (painful, tedious stuff) and setup the floyd.

If you got the cash, send it to someone.

My recommendation is Malcolm (http://www.mtlutherie.com/) but you pay for what you get - he's not cheap.
