Qurestions on Skyhawk Fine Tuner Tremolo (87)

Post by thunder100 »

I just read that.Apart cool guitar,the bridge looks stunning to me.

http://guitarsbyleo.com/FORUM/posting.p ... 118&t=5658

this causes me some tech question

This fine tuner Tremolo,

Still available?
Does it fit on a normal (not Floyd rose recessed) body?
Does it have same 2 hinge screw distances of an ordinary Dual Fulcrum Tremolo?

As I like Floyd -Rose but not the pool in the body's the Floyd's cause that bridge maybe an alternative

Thanks for insight

No. Was available until about '90.

Not sure, but my intuition tells me it is the same rout as for a 'normal' DFV.

Yes. But see the caveat stated above.

Hope this helps,
