Scott .. The Floyd Rose bridge is the most expressive and reliable.... I have one on a custom modified Charvel by Jackson electric guitar. It has the string locks at the nut and at the bridge where you have to remove the ball ends and use an allen wrench to lock down the strings. There are also fine tuners at the bridge so that you don't have to unlock at the nut very often. I can dive at will and be extremely expressive without fear of losing tune. It does take more time to set up ....but it is well worth it. The following is from www.guitarsrule.com : “A fixed bridge doesn't move. A Floyd Rose bridge uses a lock nut and no string ends while a Wilkinson bridge is closer to a "vintage" bridge in operation. Usually a Wilkinson will employ locking tuning pegs and a graphite nut as part of the setup as well. Each has its own special purpose... The fixed bridge is the most stable, allowing you to use different tunings. The Floyd Rose allows you to "dive bomb" and "pull-up" without fear of going out of tune. A Wilkinson bridge gives more flexibility to a standard design. With a Floyd Rose bridge, the ball ends are removed and are held by a string holder block, similiar to a vise. This, combined with the lock nut, means the only part of the string being stretched is from nut to bridge.. hence the term "double locking". A Floyd 2 bridge uses the ball ends of the strings... it's only "single locking", as there is no vise locking system at all. Because of this, sometimes the ball ends can stretch and affect tuning slightly. The Floyd Rose 2 is a less expensive and maintainance friendly bridge... you'll see them on beginner/intermediate guitars.” -- gary @friendlyspider.com Scott McGregor Moore wrote: > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "John Tidwell" <wedgehed@yahoo.com> > > > Musician's Friend has the following Fernandes guitars > > w/sustainer on sale...... > > > > Native Pro - $249.99 > > Revolver Pro - $349.99 > > Dragonfly Pro - $399.99 > > > > The Dragonfly has 3 pick-ups, so I assume it has > > more tonal variety than the others when played > > without the sustainer. > > > > The Revolver has a Floyd Rose trem, the other two > > are described as having a "vintage" trem. > snip > > Hoping to hear from some users. > > I *also* would appreciate any info or opinions > on the difference between the quality/usability > of the Floyd Rose vs the "vintage" trem for these guitars. > > (I'm currently using a Divebomber modified Strat > with the bridge screws loosened to "float" the bridge > and have been very happy with the feel.) > > Cheers, > Scott M2 > > http://www.dreamSTATE.to > ambientelectronicsoundscapes > http://www.THEAMBiENTPiNG.com -- gary @friendlyspider.com
