I m changing my hard rocker trem on the rs1000 with a Schaller floyd rose trem. If anybody did something like this before please I'm open for advice. I don't know which locking nut to put on the neck; R2 (41,27mm) or R3 (42,86mm), and if u could suggest me which tremolo would fit better and with minimum drilling of my guitar: SCHALLER 5371 FLOYD ROSE TREMOLO ROSE + NUT2 http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_5371_tremolo_flo yd_rose_nut_2.htm or SCHALLER FR TREMOLO II 371 http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_371.htm Thx in advance and sory for my English...

There is no modern tremolo with the same stud spacing as the Hard Rocker. For a locking nut, I recommend a Kahler style. 4 small screw holes is much better than drilling big holes all the way through the neck, in my opinion. With the Kahler-style lock, I recommend a graphite nut, but that might not be necessary. Here's a pic of my modded RS505. This guitar refuses to go out of tune.   Gepetto Username: Gepetto Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Thursday, November 22, 2007 - 10:23 am:    Thank u very much for the answer... U helped a lot. The solution with locking is great, just need to find the parts...   Gepetto Username: Gepetto Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Thursday, November 22, 2007 - 10:40 am:    The guitar looks great... I cant see how you managed to avoid cutting the metal screw on the truss rod - can you explain the details. The head ov my rs1000 is at an angle so i expect some difficulties on the way   Craigjc Username: Craigjc Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, November 23, 2007 - 10:04 am:    As you can see, this variety of Kahler-style locking nut has a cutout for the truss rod. There are other aftermarket solutions as well. Allparts sells these, and they will fit on a Roadstar headstock.
