Only good thing about these floors: this is a huge open plan space with no carpets and very little furniture. I have a crappy Samsung soundbar in the lounge and it sounds HUMONGOUS in this space i.e. natural reverb is out of this world!!! LOL!!! Other than that: they're cold and everything and everybody slips on the darn things!!! LOL!!!

Here's a pic. of the plates I was talking about (below). Apparently they're called something like "tremelo bridge plate" or something???

Here's a link also: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-Floyd-Rose-Electric-Guitar-Tremolo-Bridge-Studs-Anchor-Inserts-replacement/32485378028.html.

The link is only for reference purposes i.e. I'm sure there's other more popular and reliable places to purchase from.

I think they may have been added as standard from a certain year though (my two current Jacksons were bought during 2017).

Those FR Specials I don't like. Posted about this before. Matter of fact I think you answered me on that same thread. Long story short: if these stock Jackson things ever pack up then it's FR ORIGINAL Series all the way. And I can tell you it'll be well worth it on YOUR Jackson i.e. that's certainly a more expensive model than my Jacksons.

Matter of interest: what are you lubricating the posts with and why???

I know that some say that lubing the knife edges is pointless, but I tried it, and it works. Before my FR Special went to ****, and when it was brand new, it didn't perform any better than stock, which was seriously discouraging. Then I put some petroleum jelly on the knife edges, and it worked perfectly. So that's why.

I’ll try it next string change for the hell of it.

But is it supposed to be fixing tuning problems (which I don’t have) or what???

Well if your trems aren't having issues returning to pitch, then you don't need it. But I doubt it'll hurt.

Makes sense... guess I'm reading too much into it. The build quality is right up there with my USA Fender, though. Thoroughly impressed.

I thought you said it had a bad buzz?
