Can an Epiphone Les Paul Special II GT's tremolo bridge be replaced with a Floyd Rose locking one?
How much would it cost in total?
It can be replaced with one but it requires a lot of work. You have to cut out a spot for the tremolo to fit right which I would leave to the professionals. Furthermore, if you want it to be a double locking (lock on the neck as well) professional modifications will have to be made to the neck as well. Worse off, other than going to your local musical instrument retail or looking for a used one online on eBay or Craigslist, I don't know where you could find one. You might try looking into a Kahler, which are similar, but quite expensive, or a Bigsby which are easier to set up and lighter on the wallet. You can find a Bigsby on www.musiciansfriend.com and a kahler at www.kahler.com I believe. Again you can also look for a used one of any of these on eBay, just try to keep in mind how much work will have to be done to get it setup even after spending the money to get it in the first place. Good luck!

I need to know where to get an Old Kraftsman guitar bridge?
Where would I get one of these? My boyfriend's guitar is missing the bridge!
no...it's an old vintage guitar from the 1930's! i think was made by kay music company in chicago! very beautiful! eric clapton plays one!
I've never heard of this brand of guitar. I imagine its an inexpensive, Chinese-factory-made import, of the kind sold under a variety of brand names.
And in any case, you can't just buy a replacement bridge and stick it on yourself, it really needs to be properly fitted and installed by a trained guitar repair person.
Bring the guitar to a guitar repair shop and let them fit a new bridge onto it.

Is it possible to change the bridge of my guitar to a Kahler bridge tremolo system?
I own a Squier SE Special Stratocaster and I was wondering if it was possible to install a Kahler tremolo on it. If it is possible, what kind (series) would be good for my guitar?
Also, is it possible to install a locking nut system?
here's a link to a picture of the guitar
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squier_Stratocaster
thanks in advance
Hello there,
Yes it is possible to make this modification. However, there are some things you should consider. This swap will not be a simple bolt on procedure. You will need to make some modifications to your guitar.
First is the price. The Kahler bridge and nut will cost you about what your guitar is worth.
Second is the modifications needed. Your Squier has a Fender style tremolo bridge. It uses 6 screws to attach the bridge to the body. The Kahler uses a 2 point system. You will have to drill two mounting holes into the body for the studs on which the Kahler rests. Because the Kahler bends up and down, you will have to change the cavity routed for the bridge to accomodate the Kahler. The spring cavity on the back will not need to be modified. It does take some experience with electric routers to make a clean job on these modifications. If you cannot do the modifications, you are going to have to pay a guitar tech to install the Kahler bridge.
Third neck modifications. The Squier does not have a double locking system and therefore has a simple nut on the neck. The Kahler will need a locking nut on the neck. The nut slot will have to be routed to accept the locking nut. Depending on whether you get a top mount or bottom mount nut, holes will have to be drilled to mount the new nut.
There are top mount Kahler bridges, I do not think those would be good for this project. You will want a Kahler that resembles a Floyd Rose, something along the lines of a Kahler Spyder.
So, yes, it is possible to make the modifications to install a Kahler, but the cost will probably be prohibitive.

Why Bridge Golden Gate called What is it?
There is no gold and there is no door. So why?
California is the "Golden State," in The official motto and will return to the gold rush days. Golden Gate Bridge, the entrance to the expansion. San Francisco Bay and all water which is connected to the flow of rivers. Central Valley, and more .. so in effect it represents a "gateway" for Bay Area and more so, "Golden," the door ".."
