tremolo size of block??

[shredderbetter]

hey~ just won a titanium trem block just wondering on the size needed for an axis floyd I'm 99% sure it's a 40mm but does anyone know for sure?? I'll try to do some before n after on the sound improvements (if there are any??)


thanks!

Well any of the Floyd Upgrade blocks I have seen.
The Floyd ones will not fit the Gotoh bridge.
You have to get a specific one machined for the Gotoh.

I KNOW the floyd rose originals DON'T fit there are 37~38~and 40 mm models ~one of the techies gotta know?

I have some blocks for OFRs and tried them on the Axis Gotoh trem and they do not fit. The hole spacing different. You do need to specify the trem block will be for an Axis/Gotoh locking trem. They are out there.

 

[shredderbetter]

anyone???

 

[bbake1]

Sorry I missed your real question, the 40mm should be no problem since the trems on the Axis are not recessed. Just be sure the block is drilled for the Gotoh.

bump? anyone?~I may just need to call the cs dept.

Dude are you even reading the comments?
If you bought one for a Floyd it wont work.. at all.
It wont join with the Gotoh tremolo...

It is as simple as that.
Nothing to do with the size it is the holes to screw onto the trem that are different.

Guess I just wasted my 1,000th post...

GEEZ ~"A" are YOU reading it?? I am~ I've asked WHICH one will fit a gotoh not that I bought on for a floyd ~sorry you wasted your 1000th post,I've been pretty clear but once again I'm looking for the proper MM size to fit the gotoh floyd rose for an EBMM axis

 

[azazael]

Seems you bought the wrong thing like I thought.
All the upgrade blocks for gotoh floyds do not specify that.

I would highly recommend for you to contact CS, they should be able to help you best with your question.
And they are really fast in answering questions!

 

[azazael]

Did you buy the wrong thing?

I think he won a new Ti block (says so in his first post) and he needs to tell whomever he won it from which size he wants to receive.

I agree with the recommendation to contact CS.

 

[shredderbetter]

CS hooked me up fyi 42mm for gotoh trems a STEAL at $115 for titanium!
