Wait... so they say Floyd Rose Special, but they are a "licensed" trem?

I don't get it, But I would assume they are either Korean or Chinese.

[CharvelRocker]

Isn't that FRTO s-1000 whatever the same thing they put on the RR24s and the like?

[Carbuff]

Yeah, that number looks familiar. Does anyone know the block length on those? I know the gotoh comes with the long 42mm block.

[Rich#6]

i believe they have 42mm blocks.

Those are a cheaper version of the "off shore" OEM bridge. Notice the slant on the back of the saddles? That is how you tell it is an OEM version. The "special" has a zinc block, and zinc saddles, making it a lower cost version.

The bridge that comes on the new USA Charvels is the step above.

These are made to the exact specifications of the Original Floyd, so the parts are interchangeable.
For the price, these kill any other licensed trems on the market except for the Gotoh and Schaller's.
