How many of you set your floating trem to non floating?

I changed the trem on the Excalibur Supra from floating to non floating so I could tune down 1/2 step or play drop D on the same guitar.  Just wondered if any of you have done the same?

Hi there, How did you do that? I would like to do the same on my Ultra.

You can set the trem flat by tightening the springs in the back - increasing tension / resistance and thus pulling the bridge back, flat against the body. Try to make sure you do this equally on each spring and a little at a time...if you have to adjust the bridge hight you can do as normal (remember the grub screw locking the post).
