I have been working a frankenstrat and in a moment of brilliance I may have f*ed up the body. I have the Chinese strat that I paid 80 bucks for at a trade show. Should have known better because the pickups and hardware were god awful. ANYWHO... I stripped the body and wanted to install an original Floyd Rose. I thought I needed a recessed area that would allow the tremolo to move freely, but after looking at other Frankstrats online I think it was unnecessary. I posted some picks below. Hopefully the body is not too jacked up...
