Hey guys, I've been reading about the brass block upgrades, etc, and I see a lot of terms flying around that I'm unfamiliar with, mostly related to Floyd Rose bridges. I looked at the most excellent sticky at the top of this forum, and it had most of my answers in picture form. Awesome! Except that the links to pics are all broken. I'd really really like to see some of those pictures. Are they archived somewhere? Can someone possibly fix the sticky post?
What's the difference between a 'recessed' floyd rose and a non-recessed?
("original floyd rose" = non-recessed?)
I see a lot of references to OFR (Original right?) Floyd Rose bridges, and the different models Schaller bridges.
I have 2 bridges from USA select series that are only a few years old. They say Floyd Rose on the top and nothing else. Are they considered "original" floyd roses?
I have 3 Schaller bridges from 90-95 USA and Pro series japan guitars - they all have the same markings on the top. "Jackson" on the top, "made in germany by schaller" on the bottom, "licensed under floyd rose patents" under the tuners.
I'll post some pics to make things simple:
Before you recoil in horror at the nastiness in that first pic, that guitar's gotten a backseat for many years, but I'm going to clean it up and reset it now that I've yanked the midi pickup off.
Floyd-upgrades is going to get a big check in a few days...
Thanks in advance!
