Floyd Rose Guitars

[Bengal65]

Ok, I did a search on this before I posted. Nada. Has anyone checked out the new Floyd Rose guitars? That bridge setup is awesome. I like the idea of no tuning keys and that absence of a nut lock. I wonder if that system will show up on Charvel's and Jackson's someday? I haven't seen one to test out, but read about it. There are a couple of reviews on Harmony Central.

Re: Floyd Rose Guitars

I found a few topics. When you do your search, put in "Floyd Rose guitar" or "Floyd Rose guitars" IN QUOTATION MARKS. For the Date Range, put newer than 99 years. If you want to, select the sub-forum you wish to search under, for example "Guitars By Other Manufacturers". Hit Submit and have at 'er. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] There they are.

I think someone here(Tim?) went to visit Floyd Rose and have them installed their Speedloader on his Ibanez Jem.

Yea, like NOTP said, search the forum.the Thread wasn't long ago.
I would say within a year?

Existing threads aside - I checked out a couple over the wekend at Apple Music in Portland....I think they're built really well, have cool unique etched pickguards and play smokin fast....oh yeah, they have Floyd Roses on them too...probably won't be getting one - but cool nontheless.

Re: Floyd Rose Guitars

Thanks for the links. I finally found them with NOTP's suggestion. I'd like to see that set neck guitar when it comes out! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Floyd Rose Guitars

They feel great, play great, I would rather have old fashioned tuners though.

They are priced insanely though.

Re: Floyd Rose Guitars

I wonder if I'd get a discount on one because I live Redmond? There are a few Redmond models on eBay around 1K.

Insanely? Yes they're more than I would spend on them just because I really have all bases covered that those guitars do. But, insanely priced? I don't think so. They can be had for about 1500-1700 bucks. They are hand made in Redmond, WA by real luthiers and craftsmen that absolutely love guitars. They are every bit as good as any other top notch builder.

Re: Floyd Rose Guitars

The Floyd Rose guitars sound like a great idea for people who love using floyd trems.

However, they're not for me. I hate trem bridges.
