I would imagine some major work is required. Save your money and save up for the real deal!

you will have to route for the nut and drill the posts but other then that no. while the real ones are good dont let anyone tell you these olp's are junk.

You're going to pay about half of what you paid for that guitar for an OFR. It is probably not even worth it.

I'm not really one to talk, though, because I'm getting ready to mod the hell out of a guitar I paid 300 bucks for about 10 years ago.

I'm sure you'll have to rout it, but you should be able to get it in there.

+1. Hang off a bit and save. It will be worth it in the long run.

oh yeah....leave that stuff to the factory!!! it will save you a lot of headaches!!! and you will have a lot better gutar in the long run!

all you need to do is have a luither install it for you and really its worth it cause the olp as you know dosent play like a 200 guitar. there is a big difference in buying a 150 dollar floyd and a 1300 dollar guitar so yes it is worth it. besides like i said the only routing is in the nut. the bridge needs no routing unless you want it to float.
