... I will burden you all with my question.

My question was regarding the radius (unshimmed) of the OFR unit that Warmoth sells. I recall reading that the Schaller unit was 14quot; quot;out of the box.quot;

What would the OFR's radius be?

schaller is 14quot; your right. an OFR is 10quot; stock. but they sell shims to make it any radius you need and they are simple 1-2-3 to install before setting up the guitar with strings.

shims...

Thanks, Xssive. Didnt know about that.

Sorry, if I knew more people could gain info from that thread I wouldn't have deleted it. But in summary: OFR out of the box: 10quot;, Schaller: 14quot;. But mike already got to that AND the fact that shims are available. So fretboard radius is a non-issue. You can match the bridge radius no problem.

I'll be honest... there's some minor problems with the bridge on my Music Man; not enough to hamper playability but its enough to be annoying and hamper sustain a bit. Buying replacement parts for it is turning out to be an absolute *****, too. I'm hoping the Warmoth-sold OFR is directly interchangeable with it. So far, the radius matches!

So anyone know if MM double-locking trems are swappable with OFRs? It's the same trem used on the Axis, but its on a '95 silhouette and it came stock. Here's the guitar...I was under the impression that OFR's were available in either 10 or 14. I might be wrong though.

The ones from Warmoth are 10quot;.

If you don't buy mine, I might know what to do with it.

They are, the saddles are interchangeable with the Schallers (i.e. Same saddle/ different radius)

B2D, The MM Gotoh floyd is a high-quality unit and I wouldn´t usually recommend replacing it, but an OFR should be a drop in or at the most quot;minor modquot;

I bought an OFR from Warmoth, and as i was installing it, i noticed that there were shims under the 2 inner most saddles, right out of the box, giving it a radius of 10quot;. I simply removed the shims, and it turns into 14quot; or 15quot; I think. either way, shims should come with the floyd.

Aw maaaaan....

The OFR is NOT swappable with the MM trem. A 1 mm difference on the polepeice width and a 5 mm difference in the length of the trem block means NO.

Looks like i have to wait on GC and MM's ordering departments.
