Does anyone her know if the newer ESP guitars( Urban Camo MII) have the floyds mounted with bushings and studs or are they the wood screw type? I only ask because they seem to have posts with slotted heads instead of allen type. Thank's

Anybody know? They don't have the obvious bushing showing below the baseplate. -
Re: Newer ESP Guitars/ Floyd posts?
i am pretty sure they are going to have the bushings. my MII's from the early 90's had the bushing inserts, so common sense would lead me to believe that new models would too.GEAR:
some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!
some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!
and finally....
i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!Comment

I guess I'd only seen slotted screwdriver post screws before. all of the Jacksons have 3mm allen head posts that screw directly into ver obvious bushings that have visable collars under the floyds baseplate.Comment

I don't think that wood screws have been used with Original Floyds since the '80s. At least I don't recall seeing a Floyded guitar from later than the '80s that had wood screws.
Don't the newer OFRs use the same studs/bushings that the Schaller/Floyd II uses?Comment

I didn't want to comment about today's ESP's, but I've seen the wood screws used on them late, late 90's, early this century. It was on Kirk Hammet models I remember it best, thought to myself, why are they still doing that?
Aren't there newish Ibanez guitars with rear loaded Floyd nuts, leaving the familiar two holes in the neck? Maybe not today, but in the 90's, long after you think they would still do that.Comment

That's probably just the KH model. ESP was using studs/bushings on its own licensed Floyds back in the '80s, sorta like Jackson did with the JT-6. My '80s Mirage Custom was retrofitted with an OFR but uses the studs/bushings from the original trem.Comment

Re: Newer ESP Guitars/ Floyd posts?
I was in the store yesterday and noted that of the three ESP Sig guitars they had, all three had the screw posts. There was a bolt-on version of Kirk's main guitar, Jeff Hanneman Camo and a new Alexi Rhoads style guitar, all with screw posts.
The non-sig ESP's were all tunamtics. LTD's with copy trems had bushings.
Interesting to note, an Import Dime guitar with copy Floyd had screw in posts. Smaller than an OFR, but still screws.Comment
