Hi
I’m the market for a Floyd Rose trem – having some trouble deciding whether to go with the original, Schaller or one of the many licensed trems (Floyd Rose special etc).
I have a mex floyd rose Stratocaster – a pretty **** decent guitar.
The original trem was a Fender "Floyd Rose II", which supposedly was made by Schaller - however I never believed that as it was SHOCKING. The trem arm was always loose and plating was flaky. Eventually the knife edges gave out and I had it replaced with a sloppy licensed tin-pot floyd (I was young and knew no better).
Anyhoo, currently I have a Gotoh fitted, but this doesn’t seem to have the same response as the original – it’s more spongy and the springness just feels/sounds wrong.
So, do I now try an Original Floyd Rose (OFR) or Schaller??
However, I have heard some bad reviews on the quality of the OFR.
What can you guys recommend?
