I had to widen a hole like 2mm but there is a video on YouTube that shows how to do it. It was pretty simple. You could just use the drill bit to widen the hole by sticking it in the hole and then pushing it laterally towards the edge. Then glue a thin piece of cardboard or wood in the hole wall on the inner edge and there you go. Just replace the bushing and then it will fit perfectly. I also had to put a little shim under the locking nut to get it to sit a little higher to match the existing nut. After that and lots of adjustments to intonation, it sounds great and works really good.

This was easy to setup, It does however require the Intonation and action to be setup which may need to be done by a professional. Other than that, it was easy for me, and did'nt change the sound of the guitar very much. It did however take a bit of the sustain out though, but not enough to care about. Other than that, it was well worth the purchase for my hard tail les paul, which I never played cause I like to have a Floyd Rose on every guitar. It is now one of my favorites to play.

The price point does sting a little but it’s definitely worth not having to saw into an expensive guitar. I mounted it on a Gibson ES-339 and have converted this guitar to be an absolute metal monster and the Floyd was the pièce de résistance. Setting up a floyd isn’t for the novice guitarist, but anyone who knows enough to have set their own action and intonation can figure it out. Instructions were pretty clear and there’s supplemental videos online. Setting the intonation is the most tedious and time consuming part of the whole ordeal. The guitar de-tunes it self in its case, which isn’t a big deal considering the case wasn’t designed to have a floyd in it, but the tuning is rock solid when I leave the guitar sitting on a stand for a few days. The action on the floyd is a bit spongy compared to an internally sprung system, but makes sense considering the top mount only designe really only allowed for a single spring. The reset to zero is pretty accurate the majority of the time, and when it doesn’t, a quick tap of the trem bar seems to get it back. All in all, with the vast majority of my guitar collection being Gibson’s, when my band proposed a song that needed a solid trem, spending $700-$900 on a mid-tier guitar that was factory spec’ed with a Floyd didn’t make sense when the majority of them were in longer scale lengths and with neck and radius measurements that I tend to find less comfortable. Converting my backup guitar which has the feel and weight distribution that I like and am comfortable with just plain made more sense. FRX system is incredibly light, I definitely expected it to have a bit more heft, but am glad it doesn’t. Four to six hours standing with an instrument strapped to your shoulder teaches you the value of avoiding the 13lb Les Paul. Read full review
