bazworld Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Is it possible to install the new Floyd Rose system on my current JTV-89? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Technically - Maybe, Practically - No To fit the Floyd will require you routing out cavities into the body of your 89, Drilling new holes, filling in others, and using new components that I am pretty sure are not available commercially. Fitting a FR on a normal guitar isn't so bad, but this isn't a normal FR and it isn't a normal guitart. You might also need to move some of the existing bits around such as the main CPU. If you are a good luthier, and can get the necessary parts then probably yes you can install it. But if you were a good luthier you wouldn't be asking this question. I would say that the required modifications unless done by an expert will simply destroy the value of the instrument and will invalidate your warranty. See if a retailer will let you exchange you current guitar for an F. It is the only sensible option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It would probably be easier and more economical to sell your current JTV89 and put those funds towards and 89F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
