Floyd Rose Special

[slash]

Anyone ever seen or heard of these. I just found them at guitar depot listed under Original Floyd Rose. Hard to tell from the pictures but they look like the ones on the new Charvels other than the Special stamp.

I do believe they are the same ones used on the new Charvels.

The ad says it is $82.50. The Originals to the right of it are $169 - $179. That says it all.

I may be wrong, but my understanding is that they are even a step down from the ones on the new Charvels. This one is FRT-S2000 and the one on the Charvels and some pro Series Jacksons is listed as FRT-02000. The diecast zinc saddles would be a big concern for me. That stuff is soft, weak, and almost crumbly. You'd have to be very careful tightening down not to crack them.
