Looks good! Yo Rambo, you watchin' this?
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Very cool by the way! :icon_biggrin:

I made a different one a few years ago with a different trem system that I really liked but can't find another one lkke it. I traded that one for a 5 speakers and a power sub home theatre system.

I used a neck I picked up for $25 at a swap meet that had a Floydd Rose locking nut cut out. Cut the head off and added a nut and it lined up pretty well.

I got it on Ebay. There are no instructions with it or measurements on how to mount/install it. I don't think the tension spring is strong enough though (still working on that). It does lock as well.

Oh that's perfect!  I've got a hunk of Lucite that I've been looking at for years and always thought this trem system would be the stuff!  Thank you sir!
