Which vintage/standard trems fit FR posts?

[Millul]

So...I'm thinking about building a partscaster: the body I've eyed has FR posts (no routing, as it's a top mount arrangement).
Ideally, I'd like to use a more vintage style, or even standard-strat style trem, mainly because I', lazy AF and cannot care about cutting ball ends or any such nonsense

Do you guys know of any such bridge that fits directly on FR posts (they're already installed)?

Thanks!

Nobody? I know someone MUST have tried this

Found this:

Considering what you're looking at, it seems like it might be cheaper to just go with a hardtail body, probably even a Charvel one would be cheaper.

Why not use the non-fine-tuning floyd variant?

Feral...this might just be the FRIGGIN' BEST LINK EVER!!! Thank you!!!

You might be right about the body, though, I still need to plan things better!

It doesn't solve the ball-end cutting "issue".

There are Floyd saddles that have a tube instead of a locking screw and you anchor the strings through the back. But is the cutting really enough of a hassle for all the trouble of a bridge or saddle swap? Don't you cut your string ends off at the tuner anyways?

Just string the guitar with the ball ends at the headstock, and trim the strings a little past the bridge instead of the other way round...

Even on a fully floyded guitar, this saves you the hassle of cutting the strings twice anyway.

This.


And if you use D'addario's, it looks cool.

Schaller makes one if we're talking about 6 strings.
