Floyd Rose- unlocked


The irony of it all- a non-locking Floyd Rose unit. The Rail Tail model by the manufacturer is based on the idea of the bridge chassis sitting on top of a rail unit that is fixed directly onto the body. This way, you get the smooth rocking movement of a pivot-type mechanism. The catch here is that the RT is a dive-only unit unlike the dual action freedom of its locking siblings.

Maybe the market isn't fond about FR as it used to.Maybe Mr Floyd trying to get new comers to learn and understood bridge mechanic before blindly diving into double locking headache,but despite its none trad nature,rivals of the same nature.this brand will sell if not the idea.I think.

Sub,have you tried AxMax Trem?If yes what's you take?

No, I've not tried that. I make do with what comes with the guitar, I'll probably upgrade bridge parts as opposed to the entire bridge itself less my BC Rich Gunslinger :-)
