Re: FS:Custom Floating Trem Made of Titanium

Any U.S. distributors lined up, or are all sales shipping directly from Turkey?

Those are absolute beauties! Would love to see a Floyd Rose style too for sure.

How well does she stay in tune though, the most important question.

I'm going to say probably not. They look identical to the Hipshot contour bridges. They might not be real happy about that unless this guy has a license from them.

Re: FS:Custom Floating Trem Made of Titanium

Don't recall seeing a vibrato bridge with those bearing points before.... Interesting.

I like it.

Re: FS:Custom Floating Trem Made of Titanium

are those inserts and studs the standard size? as in, will those studs fit in to a regular FR insert?

if so, what does he sell just the studs for?

and will he be making Ti trem claws? and if he gets into FR stuff, don't forget Ti locking nuts.

Re: FS:Custom Floating Trem Made of Titanium

Is that a roller cam instead of a knife edge on the one side? Being Titanium and a round surface I am assuming it would keep wear down to a minimum if at all correct? Not sure how the other side that has 2 nubs works.

Indeed. Floyd Upgrades sells Ti Floyd for almost $1000.

I could be down for a block and some saddles...

You can contact the seller via ebay or facebook page. Not sure about Ti block but they may have some extra saddles...

All sales are directly from manufacturer in Ankara, Turkey.

Those are absolute beauties! Would love to see a Floyd Rose style too for sure.

Floyd is virtually impossible, especially in short period of time. But i believe they will design a new two point tremolo to sell products to US.

How well does she stay in tune though, the most important question.

I really don't know. I own their traditional tremolos and fixed bridge and all i can say is they are functionally awesome.

I'm going to say probably not. They look identical to the Hipshot contour bridges. They might not be real happy about that unless this guy has a license from them.

Yes. I've noticed the similarity now. As i've said just before, i really believe that they will be designing a new trem system, especially for US market. I believe because they are pretty capable of what they are doing. It is a company that produces parts and gear for aviation & defence industries and biomedical implants made of Ti.

On the other hand, for the other part of the world, license issues won't be a problem IMO just like Duncan can't produce double cream bobbins while Bare Knuckle from UK does. Maybe depends on the trademark or patent, i don't know

They have great 6 string fixed bridge made of titanium. Contact them to make them produce a prototype for you?

Look at the bridge they made on the prototype guitar they'd made;



Plus, they have some other bridges, too.

I'm not sure. But you can request the technical drawings from the via their facebook page or ebay.

I don't know well since i haven't seen them myself

Another distinctive feature of the Hipshot tremolo...
