Yes I did it. There must be way to make this screws shorter because the saddles could be moved much more in the direction away from the neck.did you remember to screw the floyd parallel to the body prior to tuning/intonating (that's the word you were looking for btw)?
(I was looking for a word like the german "oktavrein" which translated directly to english means "octave clean")

Getting a boost like that is only worth if you have a medium output humbucker like any of the Jackson J50s, EMG HZ3/4 etc. Putting it on top of a high output pickup is just insane...
Thank you Ben, Muffin and Phoenix. I changed string set up, retuned the strings and and did this 12th/24th fret thing (I dont know the english word). Now the saddles from the E and A string are so much in the direction away from the neck. So when I want to make a divebomb the string lock screws hit the body a the floyd wont go further into the body. Any advices (shorter screws?).
What guitar and what floyd are there?
Unfortunately there's not much that can be done. And shorter screws from Schaller floyd won't help. Probably the best thing you can do is cut the screws for a couple of mm shorter.
I have a gold Schaller floyd for sale if you want a new floyd btw...
+1!!!!!!!!!
Mitch, can you put that video on sendspace.com for us?

Edwards E-AL-128, it's an OFR.
The funny thing is that there are wholes to put the "saddle screws" and the saddle further away from the pickups/neck.

There´s a chance that these guitars have floyd cavities too short for OFR. Check what´s the lenght of the cavity from where the floyd studs are and to the the point where cavit ends. I´d like to compare it to my Jacksons and see if it´s too short.

So i suppose a MM04 and a Seymour duncan SH-4 would sound pretty good amirite? Because if id ever get Jackson stars i would do like that because i would never leave the booster hole empty.

Hmm nearly the same as mine. I raised the string height to 4-5mm over the 24 fret. I the floyd works now but only because I pushed the longscrew with all my power against the string.

Yes, my sexuality is determined by the fact that I don not like something that you do -its opinion!
It would be nice without the odd paintjob, superstrats are cool, although Washburns are not.
