  • Adrian Smith owners?

    I just got a Jackson Adrian Smith w/ebony board and wanted to know if it's normal for the Floyd to be raised off the body about a 1/4 inch or should it be resting on the body?

    It's normal.

      Thanks TJ, All my guitars with Floyds are either full-floating or resting on the body. Never had one that you can "pull-up" just a quater of an inch. Seems weird.........

        That's how the newer Charvels have them, also. You can always lower it to rest on the body, but then you'd have to shim the saddles up so you won't be fretting out.

              It's the best of all Floyd set-ups, IMHO. Old-school cool, and just feels "right" to me.

                  And it's Okay that the trem-studs are up higher than normal? That you can see some of the threads?

                      That's normal, since it's a non-recessed Floyd. The neck angle is tilted back more so the trem will be a little higher off the body.
