Will a Floyd fit G&L trem posts?

Post by Toejam »

Will an original Floyd Rose retrofit onto the G&L dual fulcrum posts or is the spacing different? I've got a lead on a Legacy body that's apparently still got the posts, but no trem.

Thanks.

You can buy the G&L dual fulcrum vibrato from their website.

No, the spacing is different, the DFV pivot bolts are too high, and you would also need to route out the body to install the FR bridge.

Here is an Invader with the Original Floyd Rose:

As Tooslowhand said, you can get the DFV from the G&L On-Line Store. Here's the link: https://g-l-online-store.myshopify.com/ ... um-vibrato.

Hope this helps.
