Speaking of Floyd Rose trem bridges, look at this.

I must admit that this was a surprise to me when I found these pictures.

Kinda ironic that he installed his first prototype on a Les Paul seeing as it's the type of guitar of which the least number got Floyd Rose bridges installed.

thats the weirdest thing ive ever seen. i still dont get how it works.....the saddles slide or does the bigsby work as usual just with weird looking saddles.

[Rupe]

I don't get it either. If the saddles lock, how does the trem detune the strings?

[rjohnstone]

That trem arm is useless since he locked the saddles AFTER the Bigsby.
At best, he achieved fine tuners at the saddle.
That's why it was the first... it never worked!

yeah I saw that last week and was like WTF?

I agree I have not seen these picks before.
I am glad the trem improved from here.

That guitar is owned by the owner of Bizarre guitar in Reno, he has a framed letter from Floyd, saying take good care of #1. He lived in reno before moving to Seattle.

Didn't steve lukather have one of the first three ever made?
