Hi guys,

I've got a Gibson USA 2(actually my first guitar) that has always played poorly(bad action bad to detune, etc..). It's got a "Licensed by Floyd Rose" piece-o'-crap tremolo on it, that I can't stand. To add insult to injury, I've searched for years for parts for it(fine tuners, saddle screws), but every fastener on it is a weird size, and I never get the right size.

Can I use the current location of the two locator posts to just drop a new floyd rose tremolo onto? I know none of the fasteners are shared, but I would hope that the two locator posts would be the same distance apart and legth from the head nut. Am I wrong in assuming this?

It'd be more of a project than anything, but I'd like to clean it up and make it nice, so any advice would sure be appreciated.

thanks,
json

I'm not sure, I don't see why it wouldn't fit.
You'll have to sneak around your local guitar shop with a ruler and measure one

I agree with Telefreak measure yours then a real Floyd Rose and see if they match

I'm sure there's no difference
