There are 0 cons if you know what you're doing. 100% upside, i say that without exaggeration.

Damn that thing is the shit

Beautiful..that one is.

Buy a Floyd guitar out the gate. Make sure it's set up correctly and get a trem lock and D'tuna installed. No need to use the trem until you get decent. Once you're decent you already have the Floyd in your hands. I currently have 15 guitars and 12 have floyds. I use them almost never. However, it's still my favorite bridge. My other 3 are evertunes.

You killed it man great cover

1:53 and im here finding things on why to buy floyd rose😂😂

I’ve got two of these first one bought in 2007 and the second in 2011. I paid around $750cdn each. I swapped the necks out years ago but I’m in the process of putting the original necks back on. Unreal guitars

Remember, you can and should adjust the string height at full tension Anyone telling you otherwise is wrong, and it's an urban myth that doing so will ruin the knife edges

They are only worth about a hundred dollars in my opinion Floyd Rose 1000 and original bridge are the best but Floyd Rose special aren't bad worth about fifty or sixty dollars for the special Wilkinson is a good locking bridge also 45$ for a new one in some retailers, oh yeah, Floyd Rose special is a decent locking trem.

Most of the issues you listed are a case by case issue entirely dependent on setup. There's a massive difference between spending an hour or two going back and forth with tuning and adjusting strings until it's right enough, and understanding the tension principles that a floating double locking bridge works under. When I was first messing with Floyd's I used to take forever too, until I sat down for a few hours to really learn the effects of the tension. I can have my universe restrung and drop tuned or restrung and back to standard in 10 minutes, the only added steps are the locking steps, everything else is incredibly simple of you understand the tension

What a beautiful guitar. I have a NAMM guitar as well but yours definitely has the most radical paint. Love it.

Kahler

Incredible tone. I gonna order a Vigilant Guitar

Amazing ❤❤

🤣🤣; I guess it all depends on what knowledge you wanna know. I know in HS years; I had fixed; but after awhile I wanted a float. But never did. And now I would deal with the chaos of Floyd now.

Is having pickups in a guitar worth it? Floyd is an indispensable part of a guitar. It will always be worth it.

Complimenti davvero bravo..

impressive. thanks a lot for sharing

Eres un crack. ARTISTA...😂

We'll just say that it's entirely subjective. Yes, Floyds come with their own set of problems. That said, let's not pretend that the guitar isn't a heavily flawed instrument. It's the major love of my life, but guitars in general have inherent issues just based on the way it's designed. My Floyd guitars sit proudly alongside my non-Floyd guitars. I love them all.

I see its up for sale on Reverb, looks awesome, but a bit too steep price for me. 😆

16:15 this is something I've observed as well. I have a charvel dk24 which could take quite a lot of abuse out of the box but I broke the thumb screw of one of my locking tuners and then upgraded them to hipshot staggered tuners and my god that guitar can handle so much abuse it's actually insane. I've given it the vai treatment recently and when set up right it stays more or less in tune. I still plan on buying a FR equipped guitar because I think if I'm abusing the trem I still want it to stay in tune and eliminate the possibility of minor variations.

This was good but not heavier.

Great video. Thanks for the info. Got my own model 7/Legend this week! 🤘🏼

Cool. In the original it is played up and down, but yours is more difficult only with a downstroke. Good.

Awesome guitar build, It looks very classy🤘. I play a star guitar made by Jeff at Vain guitars in British Colombia. Its all black with a reverse ESP shaped headstock and has a 3 piece alder body, flame maple neck, richlite fretboard, pearl dot inlays, Jescar stainless steel 58118 frets, OFR 3 nut, black top mount Gotoh ge1996t, and a custom wound pickup.

Amazing, turning?

Too modded to be of use in a review

Loved the Jackson. That’s also a sick ass Charvel too! 🤘

awesome cover and sic Gibson man!

I ordered a Schaller and u get to pick your nut and bridge raidus :)

I don't use backplate in floyd hehe

Too much work! I have many Floyd and Ibanez edge, Get get a Mexican strat with 2 point trem. Meaning with 2 screws bridge, replace with fender locked tuners and using fender bullet string and that’s it!! Will save you money and headache! Oh don’t forget to vessaline your nuts lol when put in new strings, If you want to go further replace your trem to gotho 510 remember kids stretch your strings is crucial

Nice cover!

still amazing a year later,i still listen to this everyday!

FUTone Floyd Rose is the ultimate 😊

Dissection T-shirt = instant like 😃🤘🤘🤘

It’s always the tips for me! I would be so pissed bro! Looks great now.

Hell yea

Hello! What thickness of strings do you have on your guitar?

What are your thoughts on using whammy pedals (like DigiTech Whammy) instead of FR?

Fuckin awesome cover man!

The gotha system is 100 times better made than a Floyd rose a better designed and made trem altogether the japs make the best Floyd doesn’t come close to the gotha system

I’ve tried all the Floyd’s the vintage originals German ones are the best the cheaper ones now made in Korea are junk. Even the new German ones made today are not the same as the vintage ones different metals and tolerances I had a vintage 80s Floyd I took off my esp vintage horizon and put it on my 2010 chavell san Dimas The charvell s brand new Floyd rose German model does not come to the quality off the 80s German Floyd so I use the old vintage 80s Floyd on my charvell. Believe me there is a difference in the old Floyd’s. Better quality made in the 80s. The new stuff is not the same.

Got a 2005 Charvel Prototype star in candy blue, the neck is incredible!

the starting/main riffi is not right, you should train the groove with just open string

Great points! I've always told people not to get a Floyd as a beginner. You can learn and practice to get setup and maintenance to not be a pain (it's nowhere near as bas as people on the internet yell about), but there is nowhere the phrase "two is one and one is none" is more true than when gigging with a floating Floyd. If you're going to gig with one, you NEED two. And once you commit to one being in an alternate tuning, that's what it is until you set it up again - and you need a backup for each alternate tuning if you're seriously gigging double locking systems. I have three double locking guitars at the moment - a Yamaha with a 90s-era Floyd, an Ibanez RG with a LoPro Edge, and an original Kahler on an 80s hot-rodded Tele thing. I ADORE the Edge, and it's my favorite locking trem I've ever played. The Kahler is cool, and may arguably be better for subtle tremolo effects than the Floyd-style, but you have to use strings with reinforced wrapping on the ball end, and the locking "device" behind the nut is dumb - but the action on the Kahler is so incredibly smooth thanks to the bearings instead of knives. It's a very different experience. That said, 90+% of my playing now is on non-locking two-point American Fender trems. I have one that floats, and stays in tune very well unless I go crazy on it - and even then, set up and strung properly with a lubricated nut, it comes back if you pull up on the bar before you hit the next chord. The other is blocked with locking tuners and never, ever goes out of tune. But I'm glad I still have the locking ones when the mood strikes even though I'm not in a "heavy" band anymore.

Very impressive, I loved it!! 🤘🔥
