A few Floyd Rose questions

1) Can you use 2 dtuna's on an OFR7? for the Low B and Low E strings both? will they fit properly? Id be using this with a Tremelno, so thats not an Issue

2) Does anybody have the Graphtech floyd saddles installed yet (on a 6 or 7)? Drilling the holes in the floyd aside (fucking OFR's with their "quality" ) it should be the same as installing them on any other bridge right?

3) Would the dtuna's work with the Graphtech saddles? i would imagine so, i cant find any reason why not, but Anybody think otherwise?

4) Does schaller make a licensed Schaller FR7? I recall people saying they were the only licensed floyd 7s they liked)

5) Graphtech saddles with schaller FR?

6) Dtuna with Schaller FR?

7) Is there a Gotoh FR7?

D-Tuna's are only properly intended for bend-down only tremolos, like the original Floyd Rose I, that EVH uses.

The bodies of the units are relatively large, so two most likely will not fit next to each other on adjacent strings.

You might have a problem with two of them fitting side by side, but then again, you might not. They are big, but Floyd saddles are wide.

The D Tuna replaces the locking bolt, so it has nothing to do with the saddle.

No, they do not. The only seven string, double locking tremolos are the OFR7, the LoTRS, and the line of Ibanez bridges.
