Non-Tremolo Floyd Rose...?

[maxdave2010]

Probably sounds a little crazy, but has anyone ever heard of a Floyd Rose system without a tremolo function?

Think about it. The stability of a locking nut and bridge fine-tuners, but without the disadvantages of having a floating bridge. Quick tuning, heavy palm muting, etc.

Is this a totally crazy idea? :dance:

The new Floyd Rose speedloader comes in a hardtail version too!

lol, perhaps I should have checked out the floyd rose website first :smack:

There it is, as clear as day. You have to admit, it's a great idea though!

Isn't there the satriani Sig model like that too?

Quite true I've always been an advocate for fixed bridges, but now that I've been reading up about the flush-style floyd rose that van halen has, it seems to negate all of my concerns (and give you the option of dive-bombing!).

And now the d-tuna... one of the main reasons I don't have a trem is because I like to toggle back and forth to Drop-D.

Damn... I might get a Floyd Rose on my next purchase :11:
