Do I want a Ping-made Floyd Rose or a 1000-series Floyd Rose

[GilmourD]

Those of you who've had experience with both, which would you say is better? Is the only difference the logo being laser etched on the Ping and the Ping lacking plating on the brass block or is there more to it?

I ask because I've got a line on both for excellent prices and an OFR is beyond what I'd have available funds-wise for quite a while.

If you're not going Vintage/Used OFR...PING...I've used them on projects and they were awesome. Great Value. Not familiar w/the 1000 Series though.

I own one of those already. I love it, but it's a pain in the butt with a d-Tuna due to the angle of the fine tuners. It works but the range is greatly reduced on the low E. Regular Floyds come out pretty much parallel to the bottom of the plate there.
