Because there's nothing wrong with the original.

I think the fine tuning screws are a bit close to the string ends. This sometimes makes my right hand feel uncomfortable

I personally prefer the Floyd Rose II (schaller)

Re: why isn\'t FR pro popular?

The pro is pretty much the JT580 LP. The saddles sit higher than that of the OFR, which in my opinion feels like a tank. I have no idea where they get "Low Profile" from.

The OFR is the best. So as it's already been said, "Because there's nothing wrong with the original".

No, it's not the same as the JT580LP... it's a better quality metal. And the Low Profile just means it's got the shorter locking pins that stick out of the top of the saddle instead of the longer pins that go underneath the saddle and stick out the back.

Re: why isn\'t FR pro popular?

Does the pro have the angled saddles like the JT580LP? In that case, there's reason enough for me to stick with the OFR...

Re: why isn\'t FR pro popular?

either the base plate has different size shelves or the sadles are different hights to acheive proper string radius.

any angle on the sadle is just to work the fine tuning. the back of the sadle pivots up and down to fine tune the string.

that is what i like. i feel the fine tuners and saddle ends and all, with the pro it feels odd because the saddles are a diferent shape and makes me feel uncomfortable
