Trying to find an OFR

[wilkinsi]

Seems all my local shop can order is a schaller floyd... I thought these were made by the same company. They use allparts.co.uk. Ebay is useless. Is there anywhere else (be it UK or USA) where I can order a black OFR?

S

Schaller is a great Floyd, but you can get an original from Warmoth for the cheapest I've seen. You can also get a Gotoh from Warmoth, and they're every bit as good as a OFR.

HTH

Warmoth, definitely. They also sell the Schaller floyds, but have the OFR in chrome, black, and gold, with your choice of nut (if you need one) included.

Also heard (from this site) that Carvin sells them.

I just got mine from guitarpartsdepot.com - good service, quick turnaround.

Got to me in a couple days, and they were super helpful when I had to return an extra trem block. Also ordered Grovers and some spare string lock blocks.

GOTOH floyd i have seems to be higher quality to me than OFR's or Schallers, cheaper too

That was another I was offered. Would there be any issues fitting that to a WR1?

[gmbob22]

the gotoh uses longer string lock screws, or whatever there called, might have to extend the route like i did on my dinky, whiched had a JT500, which is supposedly a schaller knock off paper weight

but the GOTOH is VERY well made

might be better off with going with a schaller just because thats what the WR1, came with right?

you know it will fit

[ulijdavid]

If I remember correctly, Carvin use to sell the OFR for decent prices.

[wilkinsi]

I don't intend to do any routing on this WR1. It's just been re-painted.

I got you a link Wilkinsi...

They sell the Gotoh and the Schaller trems as well, just do a search.

[Newc]

OFRs have long string-lock screws, so everything else should fit, unless the Gotohs are even longer. Schaller uses the short barrel-type on their own branded model, but the correct skinny ones with the squared head on the OFRs they make.

I think Scott at Copperhead Music is a Floyd dealer as well. Might wanna give him a holler.

Warmoth has generally had the lowest price online, but that was a few years back - before they had an online shopping setup.

[wilkinsi]

Just found an ebay shop that sells black OFR's. Must've got my email. £180 shipped. Bit steep IMO, but it's already in the UK.

[Grandturk]

I've noticed people selling OFR's on ebay for $260. Is there some sort of tax relief you can get for storing inventory that doesn't sell?
