I asked this exact question in comparison to a FR. From what everyone said the Low Pros are the way to go. They are supposed to stay in tune better although I have never had a problem with my FR trem..I am told it is because it is old (Bought in 1988 on my RG440)

I believe that's a TRS trem made by Takeuchi--it's what all the cheapo guitars come with and is not comparable in quality to a real Original Floyd Rose or to an Ibanez LoPro or Edge Pro bridge. The quality of the metal used is inferior, and the fine tuners and arm assembly are low-grade. I would avoid this one unless you absolutely cannot afford an Original Floyd Rose or a licensed Floyd made by Schaller.

Not sure that it is a TRS because under the TRS parts link on the website, there is 2 TRS pictures that don't look like the 'Low Pro'

Best advice ever. I'd better listen that...


Vibrant and real I lie, mantled by the open sky,
The wind and waves my lullaby- I am the land.

It doesn't say it's a TRS on that web site, but if you compare it to the other TRS bridges advertised on that site, it is identical apart from the lo-pro style saddles. And it is also identical to the old Lo-TRS bridge used on cheaper pre-'04 Ibanezes and to the Jackson JT-580 trem, both of which are TRS units made by Takeuchi. I'm 99% certain that it's a TRS bridge, especially given the comparatively cheap price.
