Fine-Tuning fixed bridges

Rotten Deadite · 03-06-2007, 06:03 PM

Okay so the RG2228 comes with this neat little fixed-bridge that looks like it has the fine-tuning knobs from a FR.

I gotta say I keep my FR locked so much that I might as well have a fixed-bridge, yet I love my fine-tuner knobblies. Does anybody know of any bridges that have these tuners on 'em?

Oh and here's a little link in reference to wtf I'm talking about:

Interesting. Can you show a pic?

Schaller makes a fine tuner tailpiece that replaces the standard stop tail on Les Pauls.

Wow, that's kinda cool.

Ibanez has been using variants of the FX-Edge for a few years now. It's like a stud-mounted fixed Floyd. It appeared on a few LACS guitars (i think one or two of Dino's Fear Factory models had it) and the JS2000 had a 6-string version of it, as does the MTM signature.

I wish my H207 had a stop tail, that is sweet looking!

I don't think anyone makes a fine-tuning tailpiece for a 7.
For fuck-sake,they've made the FX-Edge for everything but the 7.Bastards!!!
I'd love an FX-Edge 7 bridge!!!!!!!!

Even the one that was on Dinos LACS custom was a Lo-Pro that had had the block removed and the wings hacked about so that it would sit on tunomatic tailpiece type studs.

Mind you,i keep my RG2027 almost permanenetly locked with the Tremol-No and it's very solid.
I think the only other alternative for a custom 7 is to buy a Kahler Hybrid7 and lock it down as a hardtail.
I'd really like one of those Kahlers on an RG7.

This is another cool option for 6 strings.

The Schaller 456 bridge/tailpiece all in one combo!
Very handy if you've got a guitar with one of those highly un-adjustable wrap-around bridges fitted.
Some of the Caparison 6's come with this bridge fitted.
