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.
Yes, but it requires extensive work.
There are many video's and step by steps all over the web.
how old is a Floyd rose
Floyd Rose was created in 1977.
The advantages of a non-floating Floyd Rose system over a floating Floyd Rose system include easier tuning stability, simpler setup, and less maintenance required.
To set up a Floyd Rose tremolo system on a guitar, first loosen the strings and remove the existing bridge. Install the Floyd Rose bridge, ensuring it is level with the guitar body. Reattach the strings and tune them to pitch. Adjust the spring tension in the back cavity to balance the bridge. Fine-tune the bridge using the fine tuners on the bridge itself.
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.
You'll need a router, to cut a cavity for the Floyd Rose to sit in. Typically when you purchase one there will be instrustions on how big the cavity will need to be. This is not an easy operation and you could easily ruin your guitar so be careful. You'll have to repaint your guitar as well, so plan on tacking on some paint.
Yes, a Floyd Rose bridge should be flush with the body of the guitar for optimal performance and tuning stability.
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.
The function of a Floyd Rose Tremolo is to help keep a guitarist in tune even in extreme changes in pitch. Its locking design is considered to be revolutionary.
One can purchase a Floyd Rose guitar directly from them at their website. Additionally, many stores such as Guitar Center and Amazon carry these guitars.
