  • Yes, 5 stars read why..
Color: Black R3
Why I gave 5 stars. First off, I'm not comparing this to the 200.00 German Floyd. I'm comparing it to what you're probably looking to replace, lic. floyds, Ibanez Edge 3, DL's, or the 20 dollar crap from China. So, comparing, quality, price, etc. Yes this is extremely better than those mentioned. I have some real floyds and they're amazing. I had a Jem jr, that I wanted to strip down and build up and the idea was to do it as cheaply as possible but at the same time upgrading it. So, I bought this FRSpecial. And I have to say, that I'm impressed. I've seen some people comment that the tuners are a little tight, which is true however, nothing a little WD-40 or Liquid Wrench won't fix. This fit perfectly into my Jem jr. Same with the mounting studs, I just pulled out the old ones and these slid in perfectly. It does not come w/ a Brass block, however you can order one for like 30 bucks. I had one laying around in a box of accessories, so I just swapped them. Once I got it in, adjusted and set right, it's great. I can tell a huge difference over the "DL" trem the Jem Jr's come with. And I've seen some say they can't "flutter" with the FRSpecial. That's the first thing I tested and flutters just fine. Where as the "DL" was hit and miss. I'm probably going to start using the specials more, just to save cash with my upgrades and builds. They're great and probably the best for the price. If you shop around, you'll see they're half the price of the German (that's like 2 for the price of one German Floyd.), and not much more than the crap from China..These are made in Korea but for Floyd Rose, you can order these from the Floyd Rose website. So you know the quality is way better than the Chinese trems and the lic. etc.) I can't say enough about them for what you're getting. I had once ordered a Trem (lic. Floyd) from guitarfetish.com for 85 bucks it's ok, but not nearly as good as the FRSpecial and again, it's a Floyd. very well worth the price..I highly recommend these if you're looking to replace garbage Trems or even lic. floyds that come on entry level or intermediate priced guitars. And again, these fit perfectly in the Jem jr. ... show more

  • Quality product
Color: Black Nickel R2
I have played guitar for almost 30 years and I have used the floyd rose special on many guitars with no problems! Most people who complain about the floyd rose special that it's junk they are so wrong!! Yes it's not the original but the only thing that isn't the same as the original is the saddles!! The saddles on the special are zinc alloy and the original are steel!! Out of the last 8 years I have replaced the saddles on my fav guitar which has the special 1 time so the quality is there! And easy to install if you know how if you don't. watch a few videos on YouTube and decide if this is at your level of do it yourself project. ... show more

  • Stays in Tune!
Color: Black Nickel R2
This Floyd Rose dropped right into my Ibanez RG270 with only minor mods to the body for clearance. All in all, it took less than 20 minutes to replace the old "Licensed by Floyd Rose" which was a poor quality tremelo at best. After stretching the strings and setting up the string to spring balance, this bad boy holds tune like a pit bull on a bone! Even radical trem use is no problem, it just stays in tune. The area where the base plate meets the studs is where the old Floyd Rose had problems. After a while it develops divits or flat spots which can be filed out but return quickly. Having a Floyd Rose is a lot of work, setting it up and maintaining it, but it is well worth the effort. One of the best purchases I have made in years. I have been playing for 50 years and do all my own luthier work on my guitars. Having used many different tremeloes thru the years I can honestly state this is a gem of a device. ... show more

  • Don't waste your money on this
Color: Black Nickel R2
I recently purchased a new guitar equipped with a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo. The guitars' web page description stated it was equipped with a "Floyd Rose tremolo" giving the impression that it was a genuine FR product. The Kramer branded tremolo was horrible but, I opted to keep the guitar because it was THE ONLY one of its' kind/model and color that I could find in stock anywhere, I literally bought the last one the seller had in stock and, I had my heart set on having it so, I accepted the fact that I would have to pay for a better (genuine) Floyd Rose and replace the imitation floyd and all would end well. WRONG! I've got three other guitars with Floyd Rose 1000 tremolos and they all function perfectly. So I expected the FR special to be at least fairly decent but perhaps just be comprised of some cheaper metals which would probably not be as durable as the 1000 is. I installed the new bridge without incident, but was shocked to discover how bad it is. First when tuning the guitar, l found that the fine tuners had no effect on the pitch of the strings for the first 2-4 FULL TURNS!! Then when attempting to intonate the guitar, the range of adjustability of 2of the saddles fell short! Now, whenever a product is almost right in a situation like this, I'm okay with making a modification or two to get the desired result (when I recognize what needs to be done to remedy the situation), so I took the 2 saddles off and shaved some of the material off where clearance was needed and that solved the intonation issue. So, back to the poorly functioning fine tuners. The only thing I could do to make this trem work, was to screw the fine tuners all the way down, tune the guitar at the headstock (which is what one typically does) but, tune a little bit sharp (higher) than normal then, turn the fine tuners counter clockwise to lower each strings' pitch to its' proper note. That's not the proper method but, the guitar is finally being played and not worked on! Which is what I had in mind for it in the first place! The tremolo even actually works now although not perfectly like the 1000 models on my other guitars (I occasionally have to fine tune a string or two after moderate whammy bar use on this one) so, my conclusions are that it's buyer beware when a seller of let's say... a Kramer guitar for example, describes it as featuring oh... let's say a Floyd Rose tremolo but DELIBERATELY excludes the word "licensed" for the purpose of deceiving a potential buyer, and secondly, use caution when buying a budget version of an item from a reputable brand expecting a certain set of standards to be reflected (at least at some level) in the lower teir version, you may be surprised at how sub-par it can be. And a word to the heads of Floyd Rose, if you can't produce a budget version product you can PROUDLY stamp your name on, don't make a budget version! Floyd Rose is a well respected name in the guitar world, but the current FR special could damage that well deserved reputation. I most certainly would not recommend this product to anyone. ... show more
