Routing ASAT special for trem

Post by arablue »

does anyone here know if the route for the foot of the saddle lock bridge will interfere with routing for a dual fulcrum or similar 2 point tremolo assembly?

here's a body pic from here for reference

Here is the only picture I have of an ASAT Special with DF trem:

I think the route for the foot will interfere with the lower stud post of the DF trem.

i have an ASAT that was routed for a DF trem. there was a piece of wood glued into the saddle lock route ( not very professionally looking either) i had no troubles installing the DF when i got it and it has held up for about 12 years now.

i dont remember if i actually had to put the post bushing where the saddle lock route was or not. sorry i dont have any pics of the project as it was quite awhile ago and im more than a little hesitant to take apart my #1 .

hope this helps
