you can put a floyd rose on pretty much any guitar , but since you'd have to spend a lot to cut wood out of the guitar and all that go with a Kahler 2200 or hybrid , there's other brands which you can go with that do the same things as floyd roses without the wood cutting.

it costs 400$ last time i checked to route a guitar for a floyd rose, either spend that or half that on a kahler, its up to you

A Floyd rose can be installed in any Electric Guitar; but it needs to be routed, or have a hole carved in it that the bridge rests in... this costs a lot of money. One alternative you should look into is getting a kahler tremolo...It's more expensive than the Floyd rose; but it doesn't require routing, so it's cheaper in the long run. It is also a double locking tremolo, like the Floyd rose.

Yes,

An Original Floyd rose can directly replace a lo-trs I/II bridge without any modifying or retrofitting.

Does a Floyd rose tremolo bridge fit on a B.C. rich warlock?

if its routed for (cut for) it absolutely, i put an original floyd rose which is the higher end model in a bc rich that had a licensed one , if the guitar doesnt have a floyd rose in it like just a normal bridge you'll have to do some routing.


I've got a Fender strat with standard whammy can you put a Floyd rose locking nut only on it only or will the strings not stay in tune?

Once you lock the nut you can't tune it. That is why a Floyd Rose trem. has fine tuners on it. Are you familiar with Fenders nut with rollers.


How do you install a Floyd Rose tremolo on a Peavey Patriot that has no tremolo installed?

you'd have to cut some wood out of the guitar like any other Floyd rose installation, to do so it costs about 300 or 400 dollars from what I've heard from others, but if you want something cheaper go with Kahler, they mount right on top of the guitars body and its still a whammy.


Can any whammy bar fit in any guitar because I just got a new proline whammy bar and it will not fit into the hole of my ibanez GIO so is there something else you have to do to install a whammy bar?

if it doesn't check out the ibanez forums, I was hanging out with one of my friends and she had a strat with no whammy bar so I took the whammy bar off my BC Rich guitar and because it was a different kind (floyd rose) it wouldn't work on her fender stratocaster lookalike. there should be no installation , just put it in I mean the metal is already prepared and a direct replacement, if you can get your money back go for it.


Can you put a whammy bar on any electric guitar?

Conceivably you can put a whammy onto any electrice guitar, but it in reality it is a lot of trouble of modification to do so. Answer: You can really only put a whammy bar on a guitar that has a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. Most Ibanez guitars come with these standard, although some Fender/Squier guitars have a bridge similar to a Floyd Rose, but only whammy bars made by the Fender will fit in the hole. (at least what I've tried) And it is possible to set up a Floyd Rose on any guitar or bass, it just takes a lot of work, and a lot of knowledge because there are some vital parts in a guitar that you might not know what they're there for, so seek some professional help if you are a little uneasy about modifying your instrument.

How do you install Floyd rose?

well first plan it out , how is the floyd rose gonna sit on the guitar , than route the wood with the right tools , put the two screws inside the guitar assuming you've got say an epiphone les paul and place the claw ,springs and floyd rose in and adjust the tension. Kahler 2200 and a few other tremolos will fit right on top of the guitars face with little to no wood routing (cutting) and work just as great, I can't suggest Kahler Hybrids enough though once they lock you can tune to other tunings. make sure to add a locking nut on the nut as this will improve the floyd roses tuning stabillity and its cheaper to go with those Kahlers or a new/used guitar with a floyd rose in it. I bought a Jackson and a few other used guitars with floyd roses for half the price of getting a guitar modified to have a floyd rose in it. also guitars with floyd roses i find are bigger and wider than average guitars it won't sound dead on like a friends guitar with a floyd rose even if you match the woods... I'm basing this opinion on two BC Rich beasts I owned at the same time, same woods and everything just the second beast was bigger with the floyd rose.

What is a good cheap heavy metal guitar with locking tremolo?

BC Rich usually , I got a used Bich guitar for 200$ with a licensed Floyd rose locking tremolo. But nothing wrong with Ibanez Jackson Kramer or LTD, as long as it has EMG's and its neckthrough you won't be able to put it down. my pick though shape and sound is a BC Rich Warlock Deluxe , cheaper than a standard Gibson Les Paul and it will blow them out of the water.
