I recently won one of these off sham-bay, so I thought I'd share my first impressions...since a lot of us replace the crap JT580s and other lower Floyds off our Jacksons and Charvels.
Well I have to say, I am very impressed with it. Hardened steel base plate/knife edges. Really low profile. Brass sustain block. The tremelo arm insertion point has 2 adjustments...one for how "tall/short" you want the arm above the plane of the tremelo, and another for how quickly the arm swings away after use (check it out in the 2nd and 3rd pics)
I've owned the orginal FL, the Floyd Rose Pro, the Schaller Floyd, and of course the junky Jackson JT580's, and this is a real nice item.
Scored it for $83 plus $9 shipping. Try getting a Floyd for that...
Oh...I should also add...the sustain block is thicker than the one on the Floyd Rose Pro I'm shipping out today, and the over-all weight was heavier as well.
