Have you seen the Floyd Rose Speedloader?

Re: Have you seen the Floyd Rose Speedloader?

I've played that exact guitar a bit. Neck and body are tung oiled. [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img] The flame is even more beautiful up close.

Huh? This is about the Speedloader? Aww...

The Speedloader has some problems, but I can see it being a viable alternative. No, a Jackson headstock without tuners does NOT look right, but it's less wrong in person.

Or have Budman make a dummy headstock out of foam rubber and smash it into a wall while playing, then turn to someone and say "I bet your Ibanez can't do THAT!" [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The speed loader is much like the Platypus : seemed like a real interesting Idea at the time but really serves no purpose:

If any Floyd Rose fans are insulted by this opinion, it was not my intent:

As for any Platypi that might be members of this forum you were just used as a comparison to the eternal Question ( WHY )
Thank you enjoy the rest of your movie... [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

My friend at Guitar Center said that they got a BC Rich with the Speedloader in, and it was nothing but trouble. They sent it back to Rich after 2 weeks of messing with it in the store.
