What kind of Floyd is this?

Re: What kind of Floyd is this?

yeah, they had a single locking version and a locking version of it. I've never seen a Floyd 3 up close an personal before. That has to be a pretty rare bird. Did that become the pro? (it doesn't look like a pro)

Re: What kind of Floyd is this?

Not sure, but the baseplate looks like a FloydII/Schaller, but is not a cast base like the II.

Taken from Vintage Kramer:


The II units were used on some of the later model overseas Strikers, Focus, 100, and 1000 series Kramers While these trems are not necessarily "crap", they are not as good as the original since they are cast iron. They rust much easier, and the fulcrum points are metal inserts as opposed to being hardened and part of the actual trem metal itself. If you see a Kramer with one of these, it is NOT an American Series. Additionally, if you try to use one of these on a guitar that originally had an OFR on it, you'll have some bad action because the base plate is thicker than the OFR's. Also worth of noting, a Floyd Rose III exists that is actually a non-locking trem made in Asia that Kramer wanted as an affordable peice. It is slightly different to the Floyd II, with the III featuring a different base plate (does not appear to be cast).
