Floyd Rose speedloader system

[Ripping Vaginal Skin]

Has anyone here seen a FR Speedloader on a Jackson guitar ?
If yes, do you mind putting up a photo?

I've only ever seen them on B.C. Rich's, once I saw some guy who replaced his Ibanez Edge for a Speedloader. Never understood them.

They are cool... on paper. Were popular on the BC rich NJ series for 2 or 3 years, then were discontinued on the NJs. FR still sells them, but the problem is no one makes strings for the except Floyd and if you don't like the feel of them or anything, then you're fucked. Sure it takes less time to change the string, but the unit is the same and in my experience regardless of replacing a string with the same gauge, no two strings have exact tension, so you would still need to readjust the string/spring tension a little bit to have perfect tuning and that's the whole point to having a floyd rose. To have a bridge that can sustain a daily beating and retain perfect tuning. So again, good on paper, but in practice i find it more impractical than it puts out to be.

As far as switching out my Original Edge or a Lo pro for one, i'd have to be crazy. Those are without a doubt the best locking bridges in existence.

What the hell is up with your moniker lol

So far, the response has been great. Everybody loves it.
The only trouble is the cost of the strings.
One reason I like to go for it is the custom shop I'm doing; since I wanted the Rev. head I decided to go with SL. I HATE those keys on the Rev. headstock. They make it look like a shoe or something.
Anyhow, there should be one, if not I'll be the first to try it, right? Makes it even kewler.

There's so much room in the head, I'd go nuts with that.
He should've got that TR cover in orange too.

Perception would dictate that he either has a below average size johnson or has never been laid.

OOooor. He's a Cannibal Corpse fan which would be my guess.

Floyd Rose arranged with the Custom Shop to make the guitar for the 2004 NAMM show to showcase the Speedloader for Floyd Rose (I think they also made a red one). The picture was on the Floyd website for a while. My guitar is the same in the pic (you can compare the flame pattern), the color looks different due to lighting when the pics were taken.

Its going to blow ass when FR stops making strings for them and people cant get strings anymore.
