Can you put a Floyd rose on any guitar?

Why can't Gibson put a Floyd Rose on their guitar ?

  • Answer:

    That's a good question. I believe Gibson never encourage third party accessories or hardware. Besides this, the contour of the Gibson would make it difficult and for this reason, this is why only flat surface guitar have floyd rose. But SG Gibson is flat and that would be a good model instead of their crappy bixby.
