I know this isn't really related to Fender but does anyone know if it's possible to change a floating floyd rose to a non-floating floyd rose? Or to change a simple Strat tremelo into a non-floating floyd rose. I would appriciate any help. Thanks. :)

to do a fender into a non floating floyd, I believe, would require body routering...

No, I don't think that it's possible because there is extra space routed to put the Tremolo into the guitar. And if you take it out then you will end up having one hole in your guitar. Not worth it.

I personally don't see why you'd want to change out of a Floyd Rose, though. They're extremely useful. I've heard a lot of people complain about palm puting that it pushes the floating bridge down, but I can't see how you palm mute hard enough to do that.

You can but Stats with them on them. Also you can get Floyd Rose Patent Strat style temolo for like 50.00

I think he means that it doesn't look right if it had one on it?
