  • Fender Floyd Rose Strat

    Don't know if anyone's posted this yet, but the FR Standard Strat is back ... I think they've been gone for 2 years, so this is exciting:

    It's about time! Somebody over at Fender must be using the ol brain cells.

        The Fender Floyd Rose Standard Strat is also known as the Charvel San Dimas Strathead.

          I had a Floyd Rose original trem. and locking nut professionally installed on my USA american standard strat about two years ago. The luthier did a great job, and it actually has lower, buzz free action than it ever did. Anyway, I never played the guitar much when I got it.......and now it gets regular rotation. I just couldn't deal with that original Fender trem.......never stayed in tune. There is a small gap behind the bridge now, as the Floyd had to be installed further toward the neck,,,,but other than that, you can't tell it wasn't installed from the factory. I need to find a way to post a pic.

              I can deal with a 21-fretter, but they should give it a flatter radius than 9.5".

                And why only a rosewood board?
                Popular is not the same as good
                Rare is not the same as valuable
                Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                  What they really need to get back in the line is the Floyd Rose Classic. I still kick myself for not getting one of those.

                      I don't get it? Fender has made these for awhile.

                          Yeah, I've seen them in American Musical Supply catalogs, I think. Problem is, they don't make a USA strat with a Floyd.....that's why I had mine modded.

                            They discontinued them in 2006 and are now bringing them back ... at least, that's what it looks like. I bought two in 2006 and was planning on buying one more, and when I went to look for one, they were gone, gone from stores and from the Fender site. That guy from Sepultura supposedly plays them exclusively (weird choice for such a heavy band).
