I have one in my 2027, I love it. I got it because I knew next to nothing about floyd rose guitars. I only played fixed bridge. This made the transition so much easier.

I had a few problems with the installation, mainly due to the fact that my spring configuration was two spring to the left and two to the right. The tremolo had to sit in place of one of the springs and because it’s a seven string and the extra tension, removing that spring I had to redo the position of the claw quite a bit and that messed up my action.
So I took it in to a store to get set up, after that it played amazing.

Yes. Absolutely.

For the minimal cost (in the grand scheme of things) i think it's a great addition to any fulcrum-trem guitar. It makes tuning and setups much easier, and when you have it locked down, sustain and tone are greatly improved, in my opinion.

Well, it depends. If you're a lucky, rich, and have your own stage tech that'll set-up your guitars, you can live all day with your floating trem guitars and have him change tunings and whatnot for you.

And if you're one of the 99% of other musicians who aren't as fortunate, the added flexibility sounds great. I know I'll be getting one soon

I have one on my UV. Ill never have a floating bridge without one. Oh, how different my formative years would have been if I had a T-no in 1985

I curse they Floyd 2 to this day

Uhh, did you think anyone's actually going to say no?

Drew · 12-11-2006, 01:34 PM

Who knows, Rummy - for me, it's more than worth the purchase price. Initially I wanted one for compound bends, but having used a prototype for about a year and a half and then a production unit from as soon as they hit the market, these days it's just the ability to retune without spending hours re-setting up your guitar, to lock it down and do some fine-tuning while jamming with people, or just to be able to lock it down and really dig in while playing bluesier stuff.... It may seem subtle, but it adds SO much flexibility to your floyd-equipped guitars.
