                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[My opinion is that installing a floyd rose on a guitar that wasn't originally built for one is a less than ideal path.  It looks like your guitar already has a floating bridge on it anyways, so it doesn't seem like you'll be getting any more functionality out of your guitar.<br><br><a href="http://cs.hoshinogakki.co.jp/i-public/faces/images/2SA1T301C_1A_01.jpg"><img src="http://cs.hoshinogakki.co.jp/i-public/faces/images/2SA1T301C_1A_01.jpg"></a><br><br>If you're obsessed with the floyd rose look or something, I'd recommend just buying a new guitar with a floyd on it, it would be easier and probably cheaper, as a full floyd system costs about $200.  You also get to skip potentially ruining your guitar.]]></content:encoded>
