Adding a Floyd Rose to my SC-607?
Hi guys. I own & absolutely LOVE my 2-tone burst ESP SC-607. I've also been wanting to get a ESP MH-307 (same basic design as the SC, but with a trem), but I've yet to find one. Since those are so rare, I'm thinking of installing a Floyd Rose 7-string tremolo onto my SC-607.
So, I have a couple of questions... Is it possible to do this on an archtopped MH body? Has anyone here attempted this? If so, how did it turn out? Finally, anyone got an MH-307 for sale? Thanks guys. |

You can install a floyd on arch top guitars. i think the Mh300 had a figured top or some kind and came with a floyd.

You can install a Floyd on just about any guitar, you're just gonna need someone who can work with a router and an experienced guitar tech. Even better if they're the same person. A good guitar shop should be able to do the whole job for you, but I couldn't tell you how much it would cost. I haven't done this myself, my axe has a fixed bridge (got the rest of the parts today, woohoo... now I need to repaint it gah) but it's been done a lot of times and the results are gonna depend on the luthier/tech who does the job.

you sold this one, right?
I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams. |

to put it simply. its possible yes, will it be easy and cheap, no, and you'll likely not have your guitar for a long while as its alot of work to be done like modifying the body etc.
