That is what I thought also. Guys says it's an original but I am not sure.Looks like a 1000.
Technically, both are "originals."That is what I thought also. Guys says it's an original but I am not sure.
Actually, after looking at several of mine, the 1000 saddles do still have the bevel on the back edge. Not sure why I thought they didn't.
1000 looks just like an OFR unless you look really close.The 1000s don't have "Pro" or "Special" stamped under the floyd logo?
Looks like I may throw a Schaller or Gotoh in if I can fit the Gotoh. It's a 90s Dinky Professional XL. I put a Schaller in my 95 Soloist Professional XL.
1000 is made in Korea. Supposably to the same spec as the German one. Meaning they should basically be the same. Just cost saving by paying Koreans less than Germans to build them.What is the difference between a 1000 and an Original German made?
Somehow I can't buy this. Life Standard in South Korea is comparable to Germany. They can't pay them that much less imo. Sure, I remember there was some drama in Cort factory in Korea years ago with mistreatment and bad conditions, but that wasn't normal, hence the drama. I think that there must be some compromise with the used materials If even Harley Bemton can afford to put FR1000 on a 400 euro guitar.
Schaller will fit fine. You may have to swap to the short bolts for the Gotoh, as mine on the same guitar is about 1/16th of an inch over the rout. I shimmed mine and raised the trem so it's not a big deal to me, but just for awareness...The 1000s don't have "Pro" or "Special" stamped under the floyd logo?

Lockmeister is an original Floyd Rose without the Floyd Rose name on it, sold for less. Literally exactly the same.Do you think a Schaller lock meister will fit?
