Say whatever you will about the Floyd Rose Tremolo...
The fact is it is still the best straight ahead Rock n' Roll tremolo on the
market. It's the only one that
really stays in tune.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Just because it says Floyd Rose on it doesn't mean it's the
Real McCoy!
There are probably 50 companies manufacturing Floyd Rose Style Tremolos.
Most of them will obtain a license from Floyd. The fact that they have purchased
a license and are paying Floyd a royalty does not mean that they have to build
it as well as Floyd. In fact, I have never seen another one that I like as well
as the Original Floyd, except the one that Hamer used in the mid 80's. The ones
that Jackson, Charvel, BC Rich, Ernie Ball and all of the off brands use, are
usually Korean or Japanese impostors.
Floyd Rose Tremolo's have gotten some bad press over the past 10 years because of cheap Asian
impostors. Like I said above, there are many companies who have legally licensed the name but
haven't built the unit up to the standards of the original German manufactured unit. The original
units are case hardened. They don't wear on the pivot points like the cheaper
ones do. This means that they really do stay in tune. The Floyd Rose Tremolo
utilizes over 15 patents and it is my understanding that Floyd doesn't
necessarily license out all of the patents.
When the main patent ran out finally after a 17 year stint. Floyd decided
to lower the price to make it impossible for the competition to eat his lunch.
Never let it be said that Floyd Rose is short on intelligence. Floyd is
probably one of the smartest people in the industry today.
My prices are definitely the lowest you will find
anywhere.
If you find a lower price, I will beat it.
The SpeedLoader Tremolo offers all the versatility of the original Floyd Rose
Tremolo™ with the ease and performance of the SpeedLoader System. You can still
execute the most subtle tremolo or wildest dive-bombing effects and return to
perfect tuning every time. The SpeedLoader tremolo also features the new Floyd
Rose TremStopper that enables the player to block the tremolo system with a
simple turn of a screw.

guitarist who does not use a tremolo. As with the tremolo model,
the fixed bridge fulfills all the traditional uses of a “hardtail” bridge
combined with the ease, accuracy, and stability of the SpeedLoader System.

Each time I call your store, I receive excellent
service. Yesterday was a great experience for me. I was trying to locate an
original Floyd Rose, and Danny Joe in your service dept spent about 15 minutes
of his busy day just helping me with some details. Then when I was ready to
order, Melody was extremely patient with me when I needed to get info on a
shipping address. Everyone I come into contact with at your store seems to
(bend-over backwards) when I call, and it is always refreshing to have that kind
of service. I wish I lived closer so that I could actually work with your store
in person. Please thank these people for me. Your people are your greatest
asset, I am sure you know that, but PLEASE tell them for me.
