FRTO2000 vs Floyd Rose Special

[groverj3]

I'm pretty sure I haven't bashed them at all and I'm not talking shit in the least since I'm basically saying they both the special and 1000s series work pretty well. I'm very confused how that conclusion was reached. I am most definitely not trolling.

However, this wouldn't be the first time that something written on a message board has been misinterpreted.

Edit: What I'm trying to get across is that perhaps the special isn't as crappy as some say and the 1000s series isn't "exactly" the same as a schaller-made OFR. That's all.

At one time, there was a model stamped on the top of the baseplate "Floyd Rose Original". I have one. Pretty sure it's a Schaller, as well.

Yep, indeed made by Schaller. I believe you got that trem from me with the Halford Warrior. From what I remember (I could be wrong) those trems were stamped Original on them when Fender acquired the rights to the Floyd at one time.

That may indeed be where I got it, Joe. It's on a black XT body now, with the Halford wearing a chrome OFR (heh - I have a black guitar with a "FRO" )

Nice FRO, bro!

Just that the differences between them may be small enough (or nonexistent) that essentially they function the same and can be considered to be of equivalent quality.

Essentially they're both junky. Sure, they work well if you maintain them properly. JT6's work just fine if they're maintained.

I'm a Gotoh snob. Even OFR's aren't good enough for me anymore.
