I tried to respond to your PM, but it wouldn't let me. I do believe that I could do a piezo mod on the Schaller bridge you mention. Shoot me an email if you are interested. Thanx, shotgunn

That's not at all possible. The inserts themselves are .250" tall. The saddles are .423" (if memory serves me correctly...) Based on your pics I can clearly see that the inserts have raised the action considerably. Much more than 1mm I would say. I had GraphTech custom make me some 'lo...

Totally!!! And for the love of cat crap I cannot find my HDV cassette with the footage of a VERY skilled nashville session player tearing it up... Still searching... shotgunn

This should clear things up... shotgunn

You are correct... The strings sit at about 115 degree angle to the body. VERY difficult to play, a waste of time in fact. But I sure did MIDIfy it...

Thanx man!!! My wife and also had our third child. (he's 9 months old now) I had a couple shift changes at work too. From 2nd to 3rd shift then from 3rd back to 2nd. Crazy times man...

Here is another mod I did for guy as a test. This guitar was intended to be played standing up. I did not build this. It is completely unergonomic and everyone who plays it develops tendinitis instantly. Guitar before pic... Bridge before pic... Bridge milled out... 13-pin...

Hey guys!!! I started this back in October of 2009. Then H20 set out to destroy my soul. My studio flooded due to a crack in the foundation. 2 months and $3500 later I was 99% finished, then my ejector pump crapped out, and I DO mean CRAPPED OUT, feces EVERYWHERE!!!! THEN my outdoor faucet...

Not bad, considering it was done manually. How high do the strings sit now? I ask because on mine they were considerably higher than before, but also much lower than yours. I also had to route a new bridge cavity... Deeper and further away from the nut. I don't imagine this stays in tune...

I don't know what kind of piezo inserts they use, but for my Edge Pro piezo mod I use the L.R. Baggs X-Inserts. The Low B is too large for the slot where the string is supposed to run through. For this I bought a .065 nut file from stewmac.com and filed it to be slightly wider. The results...

I am about to complete 2 OFR 7 mods using the new GraphTech FR ghost saddles, then I will actually be able to mod my Lo Pro fully. I can't believe soooooo much time has passed. I'll set a goal to have that finished by the end of July (hopefully sooner). Thanx, shotgunn

Thanx man!!! Yeah it sure was a lot of work. Aside from all the R&D that went into building the CNC machine and learning all of that for the first time I probably spent about two weeks or so modding the bridge and about 6 weeks with the entire guitar doing the woodwork. I just did the same...

I find it hard to believe that I forgot to post the link here. I swear I remember posting on ss.org at some point. Well, here is the video (that has been done since 09-30-2009) for the RG-2228 MIDI - Piezo gutiar... Enjoy, shotgunn

Wait no more... I shipped your guitar on Friday!!!

I can't say with absolute certainty, however the Original Edge is essentially a Floyd Rose with a different arm socket. I do believe that, yes, they would fit. I don't have an original Edge to test.

Since GraphTech now offers the drop in LB-63 ghost saddles I do not need to do my OFR piezo mod. However the base plate of the bridge still needs to be drilled. For this I use my CNC milling machine. This allows me to make super clean holes that are accurately placed. As we all know the...

Yes, that is totally possible. However, I would (or you, if you choose to DIY) definitely have to do some routing. Not much though. PM me if you want more details. I am an authorized GraphTech dealer. I can get all the parts you need. All parts are brand new w/ full warranty. Thanx...

Let me take a look at your cavity. (Eeew, that sounded grrrross!!!) Control cavity, that is. Send me some pics. I was able to install an Acoustiphonic system in an Ibanez S 7 which has a prett tiny cavity. I did not route at all, not even for a battery. I don't know if you were wanting...

Actually, I have a customers guitar in my possession right now. He has a ZR trem and I have put piezos on it... Here is a sneak preview... Search ZR piezo mod here at ss.org you'll see the entire thread. The 13-pin outputs do not affect the angled output jack. You can always have the MIDI...

Actually, I do use the GraphTech inserts for some of my piezo mods. However, for the Edge Pro the GraphTech inserts are way too tall. They are .250" tall where as the L.R. Baggs inserts are .150". I can mill a deeper pocket in the Edge Pro saddles. This would defeat the purpose of the Edge...
