Bro, try to get a Gotoh Floyd. Should fit, is less than $200, and is the tightest Floyd I've played to date.

Best aftermarket floyds on the market by far.

Cheapest of the big brands too.

Congrats. I've got one myself and love the neck. I don't use the trem so I got the stock still in mine, but I installed a 3/4" brass KGC block in there and it adds a ton of sustain and clarity.

So after a good week of waiting my MIG Official Floyd Rose came in yesterday. It's amazing that for a trem from 1989 it's in very good condition - all the tuners work, nothing was cracked. There was some paint discoloration but besides that it's perfect.

After a long day of work I swung by my local music store and grabbed a pair of EB Coated Slinky 10-52s since I eventually want this guitar to have it's trem blocked for dive only with a d-tuna.

Took like 5 minutes to clean up with Gorgomyte (amazing) and the frets are extemely shiny. The maple fretboard has no gunk on it now and feels great. The trem was intonated for 10-52 in E and I had to tweak the truss rod since there was a backbow.

After finally setting it up - wow. This trem is awesome and so much smoother and easier to play on and Whoop WHoop on It also fit the stock trem's cavity pretty well. There is some extra space on the bass side but eh doesn't bother me as much since the cavity is painted black.
