It will vary depending on the type of tremelo and buitar you are doing this modification to however, this should give you a start. Basicly your going to need to measure your tremelo and lay it out onto the guitar. Then you will need to define the cavity where it will set. Nex you need to mask off the guitar body except for the shape you drew/refined. Next you need to take you router and adjust it to match the depth of the tremelo and cut/carve the shape or cavity out of the body. Next using a dremel, sand away till its nice and smoot. Now check you studs and see where they fit in the cavity and mark there position. Next use a matching drill bit and drill out a hole for the stuf to mount the tremello to the guitar. Assemble the tremello and the rest of the guitar. Go Play!
*You may want to coat the inside of the tremelo cavity withs some sound dampering paint. This will make it sound better and also will prevent any outside radio waves from interfering with your Electric Guitar's.

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 put a wammy bar on a les paul?
Les Pauls are not made with a whammy bar in mind. They do not have the right bridge. You would need to modify the bridge and drill holes in the back of your LP to get a decent whammy bar fitted.

How do you attach a whammy bar to an SG guitar?
Only some electric guitars can have a whammy bar attached. On the side of the bridge (the bridge is the part that has the strings attached to it on the bottom half of the guitar) locate a small hole. Put the part of the bar with the twist on/off bit in the hole and tighten it. Don't push down too hard on the bar, as it may damage the bridge/body of the guitar. When putting the guitar in a bag or case, remove the whammy bar.
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.

How do you install the spring for the tremolo bar on the guitar?
adding more right? if so do this at your own risk, doing this to a floyd rose whammy bar can make it complicated to getting your guitar back in that tuning and string gauge you want. with a fender 2 point tremolo I guess the same principal applies though , loosen the screws that if you turn the guitar on its belly the neck going to the left of you (assuming you're right handed) you want to loosen them, hook the new spring into the block and put it onto the claw, than tighten it back up. but with a floyd rose DONT unless you know exactly what you're doing.

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.
