Say what now?! I hadn’t heard about this had you? Floyd Rose have been known for their classic double locking tremolo system for decades but those with a stop tail or Tune-o-matic bridge can now join in the whammy fun with the new Floyd Rose FRX Tremolo System without having to make much in the way of modifcations to their guitar.
“This is a historic moment for Floyd Rose, releasing this brand new bridge 35 years after the invention of our original tremolo system. Initially available in Chrome, Black and Gold, the FRX will retrofit all tune-o-matic bridges and stopbar tailpieces with a locking nut/truss rod cover hybrid that will mount behind your guitar’s existing nut, which only requires two small wood screws to be installed. This is the only modification that has to be made - there is no routing required whatsoever!”
“As most of you saw on Facebook or on FloydRose.com, the main hold up on beginning pre-orders of this system was the necessity of a new packaging design, which we are still finalizing. In the interest of getting this long-awaited reinvention of the Floyd Rose Tremolo System into the players’ hands and onto their guitars sooner, we’ve decided to make pre-ordering available now, although packaging has not yet been finalized. This means that the initial FRX Priority List pre-orders of the bridge will be received in generic bulk packaging, while we continue to take the time to tweak the “Official” FRX packaging design.”
