Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
This mod is possible but you will have route out a piece of the guitar's body (under the bridge) This is why it is a floating tremolo!. You can replace the strat bridge with a Floyd Rose or other type bridge without the routing but it won't be a floating bridge!. I have had a floating bridge on an Ibenez Jem I used to own, they can be a pain in the butt!. If you use alot of palm muting when you play you make the guitar go out of tune because of the pressure on the strings has no stopping point!. Once you stop muting the guitar goes back in tune!. also changing strings can be a pain (one at a time meaning you can't take all six off at once and clean the neck ) Hope this helps!.
