      I have a Takuchi non recessed in a BC Rich ST-III. I'm hoping this is an upgrade...

        Whatever type it is you got a screaming deal on it. Can you find one like that for me next?

        Cheers,
        Chris

          Can't say I've seen an FR with that type of base plate. I can't see the block in the listing. Is the block on your Takeuchi painted black? The ones that I have are painted and I think they are brass.

              I think it might be. It's got a large block (wide and thin). It's an old one from the late 80s.

                Takeuchi trems are respected so I would not swap one out. Hopefully the new trem has a brass block.

                  It's not a Special...they actually say Special on them. It may be a Ping.

                    I thought all Floyds that said Floyd Rose on them had squared baseplates, even the Ping version. This one seems weird.
                    I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                      Yeah...and after thinking some more, the Pings have the Ping logo engraved near the arm, which this doesn't have. No clue on this one. :dunno:

                      I can't see anyone going to the trouble of faking an OFR only to sell them for $35!!

                        It's probably a Ricensed Froyd Rose from china...

                          Looks like a 580 base plate.

                            I'm betting heavily on "fake."

                              its not an OFR or a png I can tell you that much. I have never seen a baseplate shaped like that that says Floyd Rose on it.
