How about the word "streinge"? :lol:
Yeah, there's a tiny bit more space with the trap. If I ever get a 620 (they get better-looking every day!) I plan to do this same mod.

'streinge', you got me with that one. Is it a real word? :?

My bad. I looked it up in the dictionary. Apparently, it's spelled "strange"

I don't really like the R on the 620, it looks too close to the bridge. I whole-heartedly recommend the trapeze for your 620, it will look great. However, do NOT drill new holes in your guitar. Instead, drill new holes in the bracket for the trapaze that allign with the existing holes. I did it with two screws, and it works like a champ.

Trapeze tailpieces look way looker on 600 series guitars rather than 'R's. Good on you for doing it! :)
