Larry	Re: fixed bridge for a guitar that was routed for floyd rose There's a good reason ES335s are known for that smooth tone, and only part of it comes from the bridge. I would suggest first blocking the trem solidly, maximizing body to string resonance, and see it that helps. If it doesn't, the new bridge might not either. Semi-hollows, in my experience, have a tone that solid bodies just can't quite catch-close, but not quite. Larry
