Thread: My First Build - A Les Paul

Im thinking of either buying a cheap solid epiphone les paul and puting a floating bridge like on fender strats on it. how would i switch the bridges. or should i just try to make my own from scratch if so does anyone know how to set up the holes and wires to make the guitar epecially around the bridge.
thx

Hey BJens27
Although not impossible, this would be very difficult to achieve
The biggest issue would be keeping the string height at the bridge correct
If you're after a tremolo on your guitar, you may be better off fitting a Bigsby
I personally find them damned fugly


Heres some info on installing a Floyd Rose

Good Luck

Put a kahler trem 'hybrid 7200' made specifically for a carvetop mount. That's easier and a better outcome.

I spotted this option in the StewMac catalogue, something a bit different.
