Floyd type trem

[Dave Scepter]

Are there any "Floyd Rose type" trems available with the regular "Gibson" string spacing?

Probably not but I'm looking for one solely for the purpose of having more fretboard real-estate on both E strings

I had one on an Ibby Iceman project I did years and years ago. For the added cost I didn't really detect and significant improvement in function. I think a lot of it's appeal was the more comfy palm rest area as the mini-tuners were moved out of the way.

Well, I found out that it's NOT a drop on replacement on existing surface mount Floyd's as the shape underneath will not allow it... bummer, back to the drawing board... maybe the Kahler Killers?

I think you just need a good 1/2" shim for the neck.  🤣

I have a G-spaced Screamin' Demon in a Centaura, and I'm not convinced there's an audible difference. But my OCD has me wanting to swap it for a proper F-spaced unit. Lol.

And even then, the difference you hear "if any" may just be the new pickup 🤔

Diablo/Cali the mismatch is baked in by the angle of the neck pu
