Schaller LockMeister same specs as OFR.

Did your N24 have the angled route for the bridge, like mine has? Most of the replacement bridges that I'm seeing are more squared, which I think would require some routing.

DarthPhineas:
if I understand the question correctly, you are asking if the route is squared? or parallel/level/even with the guitar top?
mine is.
there have been many recess cavities with angled and with level. so you could be overthinking it a bit.
you might do better hitting p a forum or a FB page the focuses more on Floyds.
you should also be able to google for the routing specs for a FR recess. put those specs to play against what your have there to see if the basic route will handle the FR to begin with. if it looks like you might need to route for that, you can address the angled issue at the same time. I'd wait to have the FR in hand first, so you know how much (if any) routing might be needed.
I can't tell for sure which Washburn trem you have there. I have a pretty old N2 with the Wasburn 600-S (?) that essentially a Takeuchi. it's always worked great and never had any issues with it. it might not have the "look" but it does deliver.

I've never had any trouble swapping a Takeuchi Floyd with an OFR or a Schaller Floyd. Should just be a drop in replacement.
greekdude:
my gotoh nut is rock solid for some years now, whereas the previous Schaller gave me constant "sitar" sounding open notes which killed sustain and natural harmonics (which meant no more pantera >:( ).
I dont have a Gotoh bridge but I know they make all the high end Ibanez staff. Heck my "indo-MIC" edge zero II has been solid for 4 years, i cannot see why Gotoh should score any lower.
