deepblue Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I have read that there are huge differences in Floyd Rose systems. The best ( so they say ) Is the Schaller made in Germany. Most Floyds say licensed by Floyd Rose and can be made by dozens of companies. Most of which use sub-par material that can rob you of sustain, have tuning probs etc. I took my Floyd off of the Charvel. On the block it says the US patent number and the number 37 No where does it say made in Germany, which I was told to look for. Have any of you fellas had problems with no so good Floyd sytems? Im seriously thinking of spending the money on a Schaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjay777 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Never was a huge fan of the original Floyd. I find the Edge trems (floyd-style) in some of the Ibanez guitars very slick and less cumbersome than the Floyds though. Kahlers I'm not too familiar with, so I couldn't comment on them.

elantric Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Recent Floyds come in all manner of suitability to the task. Some chinese knock offs are utter c_r_a_p, and dont even clamp the string at the bridge. My friends have good luck with the Gotoh Floyd Rose - they use them on new EB Music Man guitars. http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/guitar_frtremassembly.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
