Floyd Rose with piezo

Yeah, tried to track down piezo-loaded floyd. Saddles. etc. Tried a few third party companies, as well as Floyd Rose. Sadly, no luck.
I'd buy two or three if others were into them. I think we would only need to get piezo saddles. Perhaps that's the cheaper route. Hmmmm.

$450 ... wow, suprising those things have jumped a $100 in a year or so ... heck, back when I was looking, you could buy a 2020x or a 2120x used for ballpark of $600 (mahogany body with a transparent stain), and oddly enough, they had another one that was a metalflake black painted that was moreso an RG570 deal that was selling for a little more than that. When I bought my RG2020X, they were retailed (if my memory serves me correctly) for $1599 and were selling from $999 to $1199. I got mine NOS for $650.
At the time, Ibanez pricelists priced the Double Edge Pro (once again, if memory serves me right) at $599 with the preamp .... but you couldnt buy it by itself. I checked into that as well when I bought the guitar.
I would definately be interested in buying saddles for my Floyd Equipped guitars if someone would make them.

What would it cost to develop a working 12-string piezo bridge? What would it cost to produce them? (keep in mind that tools, dies, jigs, whatnot needs to be developed as well for mass production)
Add those costs up (and a few more that I'm sure I haven't figured into the mix like marketing the product), figure into the mix what their profit would be, and before you know it, you've got a great idea that may not be cost effective.
I don´t know how much the cost would be for production, but how different is a 12 string piezo than a normal 6 string piezo?'87 Kramer Stagemaster Custom

Carvin USA makes an incredible product, and their Wilkinson equipped trems can be had with the piezo system for acoustic tones. I am a Floyd man dyed in the wool, but I gotta admit, the Wilky is a very good trem with a similar feel. If you use locking tuners and a special nut it will stay as good in tune as any Floyd. Plus, Carvin is mostly building neck throughs. For the price of an Ibenhad you get USA craftsmanship and way better tone/playability from Carvin..."Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,

No, I know, but the others are saying you can get the piezo with trem by way of Ibeenhad. I was saying, Carvin is a step up from Ibeenhad. But right on, Jackson over Carvin fo sho!"Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,
