  • Real Floyd Rose advise - which is best?

    After reading sully's Floyd info, I'm left wondering which of the 3 real Floyd's is the best? The "Original"? The "Floyd Rose II"? or the "Floyd Rose Pro"?

      Thanks Newc

      One would think the Pro, being more modern, would be the best.

        Some things are perfect the first time. The Original Floyd Rose is one of them.

          Cool.

          I had a feeling the Floyd Rose II wasn't - with the knife inserts it looks weak.

          But the Pro went back to a solid baseplate, so I thought I'd ask.

                  I'm pretty sure the original was locking, but didn't have fine tuners.

                    The OFR Pro gives you the option for a low profile trem if that's your preference.

                      Is there a good source for OFRs online? I've only been able to find Schallers.

                        Where have you found Schallers? All I find are on Ebay and Schaller's website. Anywhere to buy cheaply online from a dealer via web-based shopping? (i.e. no phone, no email, just Add To Cart, Checkout, Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img])

                        As for OFRs online, Scott at www.VWallguitars.com is a dealer, and www.GuitarPartsDepot.com has them pretty cheap.

                          www.stewmac.com

                          They have Schallers. It is expensive though.

                            Warmoth carries Schallers, right?

                              Yeah, I was thinking of stewmac and Warmoth. Though I just looked at Warmoth's site and what do you know, they sell both OFRs and Schallers. I really wish Warmoth would step into the mid 90s and create an online order form.

                              Carvin sells an "Original Licensed Floyd Rose." [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img] I'm guessing it's a Schaller...?
