    Where can I buy a Floyd Rose bridge that ISN'T a complete POS with terrible quality? 😡

    So, to begin with, what you see is a blue Agile Interceptor Pro, and an Ibanez RG170 that I restomodded (I Floyd Rose swapped the RG, the Agile is 100% stock except for the pickups). Initially, they were very reliable guitars, but both of them have started to have this problem where their...

    Gotoh GE1996T-7, coming 2021

    Our prayers have been answered: Finally! I'm pretty excited, the GE1996T is my absolute go-to for any Floyd guitar. Here's hoping these continue the trend of a quality, inexpensive alternative to the German made variants (that are honestly better units overall).

    BNGD: Jackson Kelly content

    Initiating my plan to have a collection of Jacksons because Why Not™, this came with a few flaws and frustrations. Had to change the whole bridge because I had to learn that licensed Floyds are pure :taunt::poop:the hard way. Plus the frets are absolutely ugly and the upper ones have some weird...

    Cheap Floyd Problems.

    A haiku. Wanted a Kelly Floyd Rose caused many problems Now, I want to sell. Dealing with this cheaply made FR has left a bad taste in my mouth. First attempt at a setup, I stripped a locking nut screw. Fine, order some cheapo saddles and wait two weeks. Boom. Watch Deadpool 2, swap saddles...

    Stripped Floyd Rose claw screw/wood screw.
