Re: Floyd Rose 1000?
I dunno, I've played one Korean model, and a couple of Ping models...and come to the conclusion they're good vibrato units. I haven't seen how they'll hold up over the years compared to Gotoh or Schaller made units but upon initial review I'd say they're definitely not a deterrent when it comes to buying a guitar IMO.
I'm not sure which one is the FR-1000 but I'm sure it's along the lines of those two.
