Picked this up on Facebook last week for around $30. She plays pretty well...

Is that a proper non-fine tuner Floyd on there?

It is. A non-fine tuner Original Floyd Rose.

For 30 bucks, you did very well sir!

This is basically a Japanese-made ESP guitar for $30. What a steal!

...and she’s one of my favorite colors: Nicotine White! Lol

Wow, what a steal

[ThePitbullofLove]

For the sake of easier tuning and familiarity, I put a fine tuner Floyd on her and put the OFR in the case for safe keeping

[xenophobe]

Wow... $30? If that was a strathead in the exact same config it would have been like $1k. lol

Great score!

Looks great with the fine-tuning Floyd! Thanks for the closeup. I'm guessing that's a DiMarzio pickup in the bridge position. Do you know what model it is? It should be inscribed on the bottom of the pickup baseplate.

[ThePitbullofLove]

The bottom of the pickup has no markings. They look like DiMarzio (some say the D in 3000D is for DiMarzio, but others say that’s urban legend), but I’ve heard Schaller, Matsumoku, ESP, as well as DiMarzio. I have no idea, but they sound good, so they’ll stay

Thanks. This thing is growing on me. Gave her a proper set up, dropped the bridge pickup a few mm and voila, more clarity and better tone. The neck in this feels very nice. Not as slim as my Charvel or Jacksons, but not overly beefy either...just a decent feeling neck. I find myself plucking this old gal up quite often these past few nights...
