I'm just not understanding why people are having such a hard time with floating bridges??? Last night I took my 7620 apart, installed a new pickup (Thanks Toshiro), and once all the electronics were done, it only took maybe 1/2 hour at the most to have everything strung up and playing.....

Because he has a Harley Benton. If that thing has a floating bridge it's probably pretty craptacular.

i dont think that they make a speedloader 7, or at least ive never seen one. The original Floyds are better though. the Strings get too tense on the Speedloaders for my liking. However you may be able to ask Floyd Rose to make one for you, never know your luck.

There is no such thing that I'm aware of. I'd also go as far as to say an OFR would be a better choice as you're not limited to the string gauges made in the speacial speedloader string type.

Of course, if it's for your Harley Benton I'd suggest you'd be better spending your money on a better guitar.

Once it has been set up I wont have so much trouble with it. I have a guitar tech problem here and dont want to send it too far for a pro setup. Yes its a HB. It will make a fine secondary instrument once I get it setup myself. I only got it christmas time to see if I got the hang of the 7 thing. I love it! I am aiming at a good primary 7. Any suggestions? FR not imperative, but if it has one it has to be a goodun. I dont want to be changing out hardware or electronics etc. 24 frets, high access, low action and thin fast neck. All points to Ibanez doesnt it?
Oh yeah, my other 7 is a Mazeti (unimpressive but very good looking. could probaly get more money than I paid or at least break even)! Now im in for some stick.

id ditch the HB and buy a Caparison Dellinger 7, or a Schecter Jeff loomis, both are great. then buy a seccond hand ibanez to act as a backup.
