The Reason For Sell Off
Custom Build Braz Board Solid Maple Cap Slow Grown 1 Piece Mahogany back and one piece neck. JS Moore 59 pups and Tone Pro Birge and Light weight tail piece include with no routing Floyd Rose. Weight close to 10 he said. Will let you know when she arrives. May turn out to be great or a total "TURD" like the last custom build I bought second hand.

That is a floyd so my guess its routed.
Never seen a floyd with no sustain block.
The trem springs mounted towards the tail piece?

OH and the Gibson Headstock will be coming off. I am contacting the original builder and see if he has his own. If not I will use my Swampblues headstock inlay.

Springs are under tailpiece with fine tuning on top. Hold on I'll get you a back shot.

Yea but I want to try it like it is before I do. I might like it , but I doubt it, a Bigsby is one thing but a Floyd Rose is only for shredders IMO. I'm way too much Blues and Southern Rock for Floyd.

Re: The Reason For Sell Off
I'm selling OBG and Tokai's for deductable on insurance for knee surgery. This one will probably go up soon after she comes in if she's a good one. Sucks but things come up.

Re: The Reason For Sell Off
OK got her in and was shocked. She is in fantastic condition. I tried her with the Funky Floyd and just not my "Thang". Took all the crap off put on original Tone Pro's locking bridge and light weight tailpiece and set intonation on her and "HELL YA". This girl can sing some tunes. She weighs in at 8.7lbs and is non chambered or swiss cheesed. Long Tenon, RS Guitars works wiring with CTS 500pots and RS Caps. She also has JS Moore lightly potted Vintage wound pups. They sound sooo smooth. She also has a full 59 neck. Almost a 58. If I didn't know this was a custom build I would swear it was a $4500 R9. A few photo's of her new look minus that stupid Floyd.

Not a mark anywhere. I just did some research and found out that is a Original 1987 Floyd Rose made in Germany for Les Pauls. To my understanding they are no longer made and quiet rare.. Yea I google it I know one thing, it stayed in tune even when bottomed out. Just not a Rose guy though.
