Can I put a Floyd Rose on a childs strat?

It's really unfair if it was impossible.

I think I could drill the new holes for the fulcrum points with a drill press and just put the floyd locking nut on the other side of the nut that is there.

It would be a liscensed floyd of course.

My 4 year old want's me to do it.

i would imagine that you want to do it more than your 4 yead old wants it.

if the floyd has the same string spacing as the current bridge, it should work fine. the child's guitar could have a thinner body than a regular guitar and might require you to cut down the tremolo block to fit in the cavity.

if you do this, post some pics.

Ping Floyd Rose ...

The latest Floyds are made by Ping , and they are very good . Much like the Jackson Floyds of the mid 90's ...They have different size blocks , if the little guitar requires it ...Good luck from a seasoned Floyd user ...

Starting a 4 yr. old out with a Floyd? WOW, imagine by the time he/she turns 16!!

With the right tools, enough patience and know how, it could be done, in theory at least. The width may present a problem, the FR may be too wide. Also the bulk size of a FR on a child size strat will be a bit of overkill and will likely just get in the way.

Being a big fan of the absurd, I find this concept intriguing. The only concern that I can think of is the thickness of the body. Is a ministrat thinner than a normal one?

Don't do it! He's better off with a regular bridge!!!
