This
Tremolo Routing Template is a Recessed Modification for Floyd Rose
. It's for tremolos with 2-15/16" (74.61mm) mounting stud spacing. Recessing the tremolo creates extra clearance at the rear of the unit, and allows extra arm travel for super whammy action. The tremolo (and the strings) can be closer to the guitar's face, reducing the need for neck shims. This template includes shims and installation instructions.
Thickness: 3/8" (9.53mm)
Clear acrylic
Laser etched centerlines and depth measurements
Countersunk holes for anchoring the template with flathead screws
Create precision cavities every time:
Align the template's centerlines with those you drew on your guitar. All you need is double-stick tape to keep the template in place. Optional: use flat head screws dropped into the counter-sunk holes—the router glides right over them. Use your router to lower a ball-bearing router bit (not included) into the wood and make several shallow passes until the bearing rides smoothly along the template edge. When the bearing can ride against the cavity wall, remove the template so you can rout to the recommended depth engraved on your template.
