Floyd type trem

(I apologize in advance if this is distracting from the OP, happy to delete and post separately, thanks)

Speaking of Floyd trems and Gibson style;

Was the Hamer Chapparal the only US factory guitar model that was 24 3/4” & Floyded?

Not custom orders etc, but “short scale shredders” made by Hamer or others?

The Floyd Pro is a little closer in string spacing- .004" but has a much bigger footprint than a OFR or Schaller. I'm afraid I'm not much more help.

Hey, it's more info than we had.  

Side note:  Did you see Schaller's new Lockmeister with custom radius for the bridge and nut?

Yeah? And have you looked at the spacing between the saddles? You can barely get a sheet of paper between them so this comes as no surprise. I'll cop to the fact that we're talking ridiculous small degrees of variation between that and the "normal" spacing of .0042 but you asked and that's what I dug up.

Thank you for chiming in and I'm very sorry I thought something was funny... it was just a light hearted response... you were very helpful, I'll look into it

All good. I was just confused about the mirth derived but am glad you found humor in it.

 
The regular Floyd has as string spacing of .42" and the Pro has a string spacing of .400"... as opposed to .004"

That's what I thought was humorous... 

It's all good👍

Thanks again, Dave

Dude, I did some caliper measuring and the "Pro" is exactly what I need... now I just have to locate one as they've been discontinued?.. you definitely know what you're talking about🤘

Thanks so much!..
