Floyd Rose FRT-O2000
It’s Korean made- it’s the one Floyd sells to guitar makers as OEM.
Same specs except for one issue :
Biggest complaint with them compared to a German Floyd is the threaded collar for the trem arm is wonky and loose compared to a German Floyd, but for $15 you can replace it with a German made collar, or the push in collar , which I’ve found to be the most stable

The Floyds goes as follows Original Floyd, FRT5000,2000,1000, Special. The Original Floyd is superior, and the subsequent models got inferior metal in their baseplates and cast saddles. Those other floyds are just dumbed down versions to sell to oem manufacturers to keep the price down.
Sure you can "upgrade" them by interchanging OFR parts, but I really wouldnt. The FRT-2000's fine tuners felt like the threads werent cut good or they need oiled and worked loose a little bit... i didnt like that at all. Cant speak for its stay in tune-ness yet cause I didnt get that guitar home yet, but I already have an '88 OFR set aside to swap in its place...

Not the specials,,,,,,,,,, but the others I believe do match-up (mount-post) with the German-OFR,,,,,costly upgrade if you buy one new though.
