Duncan butterfly mods anyone?

2

Can’t really mod a Duncan Butterfly unless you have access to a Lathe and a lot of experience. Also, the plastic used in the Duncan Butterflies is way too gummy to mod.

Oh, but is it possible to give it a bearing mod that gives bigger bearing?

4

Or a bearing at all…

Yes it has been done but it takes quite a bit of skill to make work and even getting to that point it may still vibe pretty bad, so in the long run it’s more trouble then it’s worth.

My advice is if you want to mod get a FHZ.

If you are asking how to mod a butterfly, more than likely it will take far more money/skill/time than you will want to invest. Drop $10 at your nearest Toys r Us and get a Duncan w/ ball bearing. It will make your life so much easier.

Isn’t Duncan already coming out with essentially a bearing Butterfly soon?

Yep
