It operates more like a Floyd Rose. It rests on a fulcrum pivot along its entire length, allowing the entire bridge contact to the body. Without springs or strings, the bridge just falls out.

It doesn't need any locking tuners or fine tuners. That shit is for fags. I can bend the trem arm right down to the body, and the guitar will remain completely in tune because it's set up properly.

Apart from the fulcrum, the rest of the bridge operate much like a strat trem, with the strings coming through a block at the back of the body.

It sucks that my first ever guitar had a Floydy, and my first set of new strings had ball ends. Took me a while to figure out they needed cutting off and locked in, but I got it after a while. When it says "you may need to retune several times" it's not kidding. It ages to get the bridge balanced in the middle with perfect tune. Definitely more trouble than it's worth.

and thats why you are ignorant coz dont understaind how floyd rose works in real , so its an Stratocaster Sistem and nothen more




see Warmoth Stratocaster Project , using Schaller Roller Tremolo Bridge

I Stick Gotoh or Schaller roller Strat Systems wich have better saddles ,roller its better than Solid Saddle , less risk string break

why is the neck go so far back on the body on that thing. That kills the only positive side of a flying v. A real one like this has the neck end almost right where the body begins, so you con go high up the neck with no body in the way. BOO Icey V

Floyd Roses and Kahlers and all those overdone bridge are for anal metal wankers who want their pinched harmonics to sound fancy, because they can. And because they like the cock.

Plus they take too much time to setup and they really fuck you over when you break a string, say goodbye to that live set, jam session or recording.

Icey my friend, just because you've read sites on it, does not mean you know how they work. I have one, and again, here is my proof:

[/QUOTE]but floyd rose are cooler too

Fine tuners are a clever feature, but they're still impractical. Fine tuning a particular string is finely tuning the others out of tone. Like I said, those things are way too sensitive. They require way too much time to correctly set-up, and you can't tune them unless you have an allen key with you to unscrew the nut. I would never gig with one of them, simply because you'd need a backup, and you'd need to use the backup before you began.

Strat trems work better, simply because they're not so damn sensitive.

Also, your fake gold hardware looks disgusting.

No, you're the ignorant one because you're refusing to listen. My trem system can do just as much as a Floyd Rose, but does NOT take 30 minutes to restring, and does not NEED the fine tuners because the guitar is already extremely well-made and set up. If I get the chance, I'll make sound clips of just how extreme the trem can be.

Regular strat bridges are screwed into the body. Trying to do a divebomb on a strat trem would probably snap the thing off the body (seriously, I couldn't understand why any gay fucker would try one anyway, but that's obviously besides the point with you), whereas my trem can slacken the strings all the way without any damage.

My bridge is alot like the one you posted: Image[/quote]

But the contact runs all the way along the length of the bridge, providing far better contact with the body, improving sustain, something you're a bit of an obsessive freak about. So my bridge is actually better that the bridge you posted.

Furthermore, as I've said before, I own a guitar with a floyd rose, and have done for the last 6 years. It was my second guitar, and I can assure you, moron, that I understand the trem system much better than you.

plsthxbye

thats why you dont understaid , floyd are cooler have risk broke strings hard to change strings , i dont care i already have 2 different types tremolos , now i want have one floyd , next will be hardtail

so you got an floyd ??? what floyd rose ? , Genericals dont stay easy in tune

have different pickups , tremolos are cool thing

thats why i think have 3 of samme guitar is riduculous , i like have different types on my colection , maybe Lespaul next time

about sustain to to minimize lost it its an Neck thuru and have 16o angle neck :) , any tremolo have sustain lost

You just can't stop spouting this bullshit, can you? A licensed Floyd Rose is almost exactly the same as a full Floyd Rose. How can one piece of exact machinery have dodgier tuning than another? The tuning depends on your setup. My Floyd Rose-equipped guitar stays perfectly in tune, but takes 30 minutes to change a single string. My Batwing can do anything a Floyd Rose can do, still without going wildly out of tune, and without breaking any strings. So what the fuck is your point? You're talking other peoples statistics out of your hairy fucking arse, and you don't have a fucking clue what they mean. You just accept a so-called experts advice over those of guitarists who have generally been playing ten times longer than you and have had far more experience with the bullshit you keep chatting.

You're ignorant, and you're stupid.

I hate Floyd Roses because I bought one after only a year of playing, I had no idea how much pain and effort it would be. Sound familiar? I'm not just randomly hating on everything you say or do, but you seem absolutely determined to ignore the advice of people that have made exactly the same mistakes as you're making.

Agreed, let him put a stupid Floyd Rose on there and then when he realizes that he hates it and comes back here asking for advice or talking about how much he hates it, we can all laugh at him!
