I'm curious to see how the guitar turns out; best of luck to you, my friend!

So did Musikraft send you tracking info, btw? At least that way you'd know when it hits Customs..
Speaking of which, did the Floyd clear yet?

Yes, and according to USPS, it's been "Processed through Sort Facility, December 19, 2009, 12:21 am".

Customs around here sends an email...
And, yeah, the Floyd's cleared. Now it's up to the FunlandPS.

I'm itching to start slapping the pieces together, needless to say...

Which reminds me, I pieced the Duncan Triple Shot and the Custom together. No soldering yet, just seeing how it fits.
A bit tight... In fact the physical dimensions of the Triple Shot are slightly smaller than a standard Trembucker ring.

Wondered about that...none of the Duncan info states whether they're for standard SH-series Humbuckers, or the TBs...you'd think they'd have made it universal...but you still managed to get it in there, albeit snugly?

**Coyote** · 12-22-2009, 05:06 PM

"Snugly" being the keyword... Gotta be careful with the adjustments, or I'll tear off the tape around the coils...
The package said it's supposed to be a TB. Might be a Tuesday edition...

For kicks, I tried that extra Dimarzio Air Zone I had laying around. Fits nicely, albeit it's not F-spaced...

Look under "dimensions"...

LOL...Alright, that page got updated since last I saw it...

The Duncan forum folks rave about them like they're the coolest thing since sliced bread though...and it kinda sounds like they are...

Found the Floyd in the mailbox today...

I'm tempted to install the Graph Tech saddles already, but I'd rather wait for the block to arrive. (Not to mention the neck/body)

Cool!

Yeah, if I were you I'd wait for the block - that way you only have to disassemble the Floyd once. Y'know, unless you're just into that sort of thing...

**Coyote** · 12-23-2009, 12:22 PM

Last time I checked, I don't have OCD...

**Coyote** · 12-23-2009, 12:55 PM

Although, after Christmas, I gotta start scouring the hardware stores for the correct screws.
Just 'cause I'd rather not drill through the neck...

**jhale667** · 12-23-2009, 01:18 PM

Just order them from Stew-Mac...

**Coyote** · 12-23-2009, 02:17 PM

What? and wait another 3-4 weeks?

Yeah, well there's that

...isn't there some Euro-guitar shop supply company equivalent?

**Coyote** · 12-23-2009, 02:24 PM

Local stores... And Thomann...

But I'd rather not use these

Shit, what's the term for this? Countersink? Kitchensink?
