What is the deal with Schaller Lockmeister Vintage Copper Floyd

[Dr.Mavashi]

1) What is the deal with Lockmaister, all vendors say that it is expected in July.

2) Lockmaister, is it just new build technology or are there hidden issues with dimension vs. stand Schaller floyds ?

3) A dealer on Reverb has 42mm priced at 154 bucks and 37mm at 240, WTF ?

Please help.

Re: What is the deal with Schaller Lockmeister Vintage Copper Floyd

As far as I can tell, modern-day OFRs and Lockmeister tremolos differ only in the name stamped on them and the colours they are offered in. (I bought one of each in 2017) The Schallers, for some reason, are much more readily available in Europe than the US, which might explain the price difference. Or s/he might be on drugs – who knows?
