So, i just got back my 88 Mij Charvel Model 5 from service man. as, previous owner, unfortunately replaced floyd unit with some crap for 30 bucks, i decided to block it, and have no tunning issues ever since. so, i just left it blocked for 1 year. than, i bought used Schaller floyd from Germany, in perfect shape. so, i decided to put this in a guitar, took the guitar to service man, and finnaly got it back. first impressions are good, it stays in tune very well, and the feel of the floyd is one of the best i ever experienced. very good lincesed trem, better than korean floyd 1000 and jackson jt580 which i had them on other two guitars. i thought there will be significant change in tone too, but i only played guitar for about 4 hours now, and i am not experiencing drastic changes. this guitar is in wine red colour, i would drop in some pictures soon.. it has jackson pickups in it, the tone is good, not superb by any means as duncans that i have in my jackson, but really not bad compared to them. two ceramic humbuckers, with 5 way selector switch , so there are single coil sounds too, i found out the neck position very cool sounding with split. this guitar sounded very good at cleans, at the very beggining i tried it. i am playing through randall diavlo rd-1 and on high gain it sustains like heaven. the squels are also very good. i have nothing to say, just that, the feel of that guitar is amazingly good from the very begging i got it. now even better with this schaller floyd.
