As there's the serial number shown, I've already added it to the registry with no owner.

Congrats, but you know we do need photographic proof.
Also, please post a photo of the Custom Build Specifications sheet, because the G&L Registry entry you added, lists the body color as 2-Tone Sunburst Nitro but, AFAIK, the factory has not done a
Rustic version of the SC-2 (2008-present). Also, the body wood will be listed in the CBS sheet, so I will be able to add that, too.

I only have a crappy cellphone pic...
Hi Craig,
CLF67969 is an SC-2 in 2-Tone Sunburst, Dual Fulcrum vibrato, crème covers, rosewood board. No mention made of the body wood, so the default for an SC-2 in 2TS is alder. Shipped to EMP Music in Netherlands on October 30, 2013.
Thanks, Craig.

Would the footprint be big enough to cover the holes? Would it screw into the string block and body if this were possible? Would there be enough initial height where you wouldn't run the saddle height adjustment screws fully out?

Hey Craig, thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction! Reading through the posts makes me wonder whether I should try to "block" it. Then, I see where the possibility exists where the extension that nestles into the body with the Saddle Lock may fit into the vibrato cavity, without any additional routing. I'm still trying to weigh the options. I'd love to see some specs on the Saddle Lock, you know, the dimensions or blueprint drawings. Or come across a "sample" Saddle Lock to physically check the fit myself.
Thanks again! I'll keep looking for a solution and keep you posted of my progress.

You are welcome. I do recommend you try blocking the DF Trem first.
For info on the Saddle-Lock bridge, see this post in our G&L Knowledgebase forum: G&L Saddle-Lock bridge details.

Agreed buying a guitar with the saddle-lock and selling the DFV model is the best solution; it's not as if they're super-rare in either configuration, and beats compromising to just get what you want.

While this trem is similar to a DFV, I don't know if the same solution will work.

Well... because I already have THIS one. I bought it from a friend of mine who needed to downsize his guitar collection. The only issue I have is that I don't use the vibrato very often and I'm concerned about it staying in tune, like when I do use it or if I rest my hand on the bridge.
I'm obviously not made of money, have a fixed income (retired) and can't afford to just go buy another one. I apparently assumed that the Saddle Locks and the DF's were similar enough on the top surface that the parts might be interchangeable. That being said, tell me about your SC-2 and do you have any pics? I could possibly be interested if I decide to sell mine.

I've considered doing just that. Not sure if I'll have sufficient room on the height adjustment screws on the saddle if I anchor it flush to the body. And the anchor screws are beveled to allow a pivot (fulcrum). I could possibly block it at a determined height, but I'd prefer having the plate flush (for increased resonance?) I have a lot to consider.
Thanks for the input, I really appreciate all the help I can get. Power is knowledge... or... something like that...

Please read this post for properly blocking the DFV: How do I block the tremelo on my guitar?. You don't want to (or need to) lower the pivot bolts and deck the bridge plate on the body. The blocking of the trem block will give
you added resonance.
Hope this helps.

Please take the discussion of Tom's SC-2 for sale off this post. Tom can PM or EM you privately.
