So this is what I did, FYI only, and know that there are different ways to skin a cat. Some guys put silicon on the threads which also works but is still potentially loose under force, 5) it is built largely like the original Edge and finally that it carries recommendations & reviews from many picky players. It pre-tensions the posts so they don’t turn or rock in the threaded hole.
I chose it because 1) the Original Edge is much more expensive and difficult to find as a complete set as such, 2) the bar tension is adjustable so A/C tremolo motion can be quiet for quiet expression (no clankety clank of a loose bar), 3) the upper knife edge (opposite bar) is not cupped to allow for several post spacings, 4) it has locking posts WITH IT so you don’t have to buy that $40 kit or make your own. I’m no luthier, just someone who wanted a fender with a GE Gotoh 1996T I’d heard quite a bit about, and that has some nice design features. I’d never done this before and wanted to record each step I took through the process to pass on to others who might want to give it a go. Maybe that’s true in some cases but if you can visualize what you’re about to do and can borrow a tool here & there, you can get this job done on your own. Rod is a gifted engineer and if you're looking to do this install, this one is the way to go! -Mike - It seems like people sort of shrug away from installing a full floating tremolo on a guitar not currently set up for one because it’s too scary or you need too many tools.
Any questions or comments on the job will be forwarded to him. The actual work was done by a good friend of mine named Rod. The following is the DIY laid out step-by-step.
