Why do people bitch about setting these things up? Once it's set up correctly it's been the BEST tremolo I have ever used, once the strings are stretched and the floyd is level with the body it will stay in tune rock solid.
I would choose those over any hardtail bridge, it will stay in tune better than any locking tuners. Once it's locked at the not there is no room for it to slack off, even locking tuners can slack off a bit.
Also the build quality of the german made floyd rose is superior to any other trem, i think the original edge trem is also hardened steel too?
No wonder a lot of pro's still use this thing, floyd rose was a genius.

A genuine Floyd is great. I have one on my Schecter and it has stayed in tune for over a year. Cheap ones are a pain in the ass
I actually prefer the surface mount ones where there's no routing cavity and you can only do dives. I have one on my kramer with a d-tuna

Never had a guitar with tremolo but I actually heard great things about Floyd Rose.
Adam Young
YEAH MAN
Mine is a top mount only so I can pull back a little.
I don't really do the dive thing at all.
Only thing about top mount is I find when changing all the strings the floyd comes off the posts pretty easily.

The only real issue is if you break a string at a gig and don't have a 2nd guitar to switch to.
Wyatt Hughes
it's the best feeling bridge on the hand, you can't even feel it while playing
Ian King
yeah thats true
but if you get good strings like d'addario nyxl you probably won't break a string, i havent broken a string in 10 years.

I don't actually mind feeling a brige, my guitar has tune-o-matic one and resting my hand against it always felt good.

Guitar tech here. You're wrong about locking tuners. What you're experiencing is more likely the strings binding in the nut a little bit. >locking tuners >roller nut >standard trem >divebomb with impunity Pic related

got one of these bad girls on my ibanez, nothing hard to tune about it. like seriously you have to be some kind of autistic not to be able to set up something this simple.
