Hey All,

Just a quick question. I am building a Strat (SRV Tribute) with a Gotoh 510 Trem. This is the first build for me using a 510 Tremolo rather than a floyd. I have built a few different super Strat style guitars with Floyd's and have several templates to route the floyd and drill the posts in the correct spot for a 25.5 inch scale. I do not have a template for the Gotoh trem.

Can anyone tell me the distance from neck heel to the centre line of the 2 trem posts for the Gotoh 510TS? (again standard strat neck heel 25.5 scale). I think it should be about 174mm.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Rick
