Just to answer a few of the questions here... I shot the video to demonstrate how well the Floyd Rose worked on a Les Paul, so ya, the ridiculous amounts of FR usage was absolutely necessary LOL. This video was done pretty much right when we picked the guitar up, so the strings were new and not stretched, so it did float slightly flat near the end. Now that the strings are stretched from a few days of playing, there's zero staying in tune issues, even when going way harder on the bar.

Gibson did introduce the Axcess at NAMM, but that was after I decided to pursue this project. They're kinda pricey though...

LP Axcess Custom w/Floyd Rose Silverburst CH Floyd - MSRP $5880.00
LP Axcess Custom w/Floyd Rose Ebony CH Floyd - MSRP $5527.00
LP Axcess Standard w/Floyd Rose Ice Tea Chrome - MSRP $5292.00
LP Axcess Standard w/Floyd Rose Ebony CH Floyd - MSRP $4939.00

I choose an Epi instead of a Gibson on this project because I didn't wanna possibly fuck up one of my Gibsons so this was more of a test project. I've heard a lot in regards to FR jobs killing sustain and tone, so I used my best sounding Epi on the project. After playing the guitar for a few days now, it feels and sounds pretty much like before. I didn't notice any changes in sustain, and very very minor tone difference that's very subtle. Kerry (the guy in the vid) liked the guitar so much he's going to fit a FR on his Gibson Vintage Mahogany Studio.

BTW Cody... when we gonna jam? haha we talk about it all the time but u never show up!

I'll give you a shout this Saturday, since if I remember right, you jam with your band on Sunday.. I posted over on beyond too.

Hahaha I agree with the "chugging on low B" comments.
I did excessive wankery to show the ranges of the floyd on the LP. It was simply to show that the FR is installed well and has great range as well as keeps in tune during wankery.

Thanks for the comments though!

What's wrong with an Epiphone? They look the same, play the same, with a pickup swap the sound the same.. but they cost a few thousand less and the quality is more consistent.

I played nothing but Fear Factory songs for three weeks straight!
