Members _pete_ Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 Need more info.What kind of body? Strat?Do you want it floating? Vintage style? 2 point modern style?Budget? If you want the best non locking, go with Mann. They made the original PRS trems. These are made from one piece of billet steel. Pricey, but they are excellent.http://www.mannmadeusa.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashtray Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 I don't think you have too many options. When I spoke to warmoth they only had a few different templates they could route for - unless you plan on doing the routing yourself. I wanted a g&l trem for a warmoth strat and they couldn't do it.

I dunno. You have the 6 hole vintage style which would also work with the PRS trem I posted. You could use a Callaham, a Super Vee, or Trem King with that also.You also have a 2 point Fender style that could be used with Fender, Wilkinson, Gotoh, Hipshot, and many other bridges.

Members thenoob Posted March 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hey guys - I guess I need help even on deciding what type of trem bridge. What are the upsides of different styles. Probably not floating? Aren't all floating bridges usually locking trems? How difficult is it to drill your own holes? Obviously it's a precise job - but can I find someone locally who won't have a hard time with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metalrulez Posted March 8, 2010 Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 Go to the Stew Mac web site they have a basic thumb nail of what is out there are far as the styles of bridges. When it comes to wang bars research and in hand experience are your best friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thenoob Posted March 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hey guys - any more options?I can spend up to 200 or so & my only want is that it's black as I'm doing 100% black hardware. I'm checking out the trem king but there isn't too much info available from what I've see. Has anyone else played one?Unfortunetly man doesn't make anything black.
