Re: Identify this Floyd Rose? Dean Razorback Cemetery Gates
The saddles look like an Original Edge, but the baseplate isn't Ibanez. Gotoh also have similar saddles and a similar baseplate...
That trem block looks to be aftermarket so the whole unit could be a heinz 57 of sorts.
The BH logo is most likely the name or company who machined the trem block, but I couldnt find any info on that.
If it plays good and sounds good and holds tune then go for it!
Yes, I think that pretty well sums it up. I know 2012s had FR Specials, and 2010s had Licensed. So either something weird was done for 2011, or I have a mutt. The only thing nagging at me about it being a mutt is that it is black chrome. And it wouldn't have been easy to go the mutt route and still keep the black chrome. I think it was still possible there was something transitional between the Licensed and the Specials. A different Licensed, of sorts.
Regardless, it does sound good, holds tune, and feels solid. So off I go!
BTW, I bought it knowing it was a shredding machine. I'm not that much into Metal, but I did want round out my collection and have some fun with it. What surprises me is how impressive the cleans are. Not just with the Dimebucker, but with the DMT neck pup too, when used with the Dimebucker.
May sound weird, but going clean, the Dimebucker had a Telecaster tone to it. I'm sure it would be tough, though, to do a Country Western gig with Razorback.........
