Midschool price help

Hope it's ok to ask questions like this... Recently became interested in getting a bmx bike but not interested in modern bikes or big wheels.

Clean oldschool bikes are a bit out of what I'm looking to spend. I'm wondering what the market is like on midschool like late 90s.

I found a very clean dyno zone, which after doing some research was kinda entry level, hi ten steel frame. It has some new parts, tires, frame looks mint. Just wondering what would be a good offer.

I'm not looking to ride it hard, just a cool looking bike from around my childhood that I can ride around the neighborhood with my kids.

Great South Bay festival...

Had anyone been to it before? I really want to be on the railing or close to it for Bayside, but I'm not standing out there all day. Is it going to be impossible to move up ?

Some Floyd rose special tips?

This is not a set up question...

I have this firefly with a licensed Floyd. Yesterday when playing, the low E string suddenly went down almost a full step. My first thought was the trem blocks where you seat the string. I tightened the screw, unlocked the but and retuned it. It was fine for the rest of the time I played.

  1. are there any saddle blocks that have ridges like needle nose plyers?

  2. are there any tricks for stringing a Floyd so that the saddle blocks have extra grip? I read someone mention bending the end of the string into a "v" shape and inserting that into the saddle.

  3. will simply upgrading all the parts to stainless steel solve the problem?

What can I do here?

I have this tele style body.. I want to switch h the bridge to a tele ashtray style bridge with a humbucker.. but all of this brushes are 54mm spacing, and mine is 52.5mm spacing for the saddles. Can I get away with the 54mm bridge ? The fret board is 56mm at the heel.

Phone the Les Paul pick guard I just wanted to see what it looks like.. I might do something with that if I can't get the bridge I want.

I love this guitar.

I've been rotating through my guitars so they all get played and nobody feels left out... And when I come back to this one... It's just awesome. The stock pickups are friggin awesome. I play metalcore, thrash, emo, screamo, punk, etc. anything fast and heavy. These pickups are great.

My other ffsp is better fit and finish, slimmer neck, awesome looking, but this one is just... better. This is the one.

My friend just found this...

$30 in a record store. Not even a big fan. Don't you think he should sell it to me?
