Floyd Rose Original Tremolo System

The Floyd Rose Original is the definitive double-locking tremolo system, known for its ability to maintain tuning stability under extreme pitch shifts and heavy use. Developed in the late 1970s, it locks the strings at both the nut and the bridge, virtually eliminating tuning drift from bends, divebombs, or aggressive tremolo use.

Built with hardened steel components, the Floyd Rose Original is still considered the gold standard for players who demand precise pitch control and stability, especially in rock, metal, and shred contexts.

This bridge system is designed for guitars routed for Floyd Rose-style tremolos, including a 10.8mm (0.425") string spacing and six pivot mounting posts. It comes with fine tuners, a tremolo arm, locking nut, and all required mounting hardware.

️ Installation Notes

The Floyd Rose Original requires a specific body route—not just in terms of post spacing, but also cavity depth and shape for full floating action. Guitars not originally designed for a Floyd may require extensive routing to accommodate both the trem block and the locking nut.

If you're replacing an existing Floyd Rose or licensed version, check both post spacing and trem block depth. While the Floyd Rose Original fits many Ibanez, Jackson, ESP, and Charvel models, there are subtle differences among licensed versions that can affect drop-in compatibility.

The system ships with a locking nut, which must be installed correctly at the proper scale length. This may require woodwork if your guitar uses a different nut format (e.g., traditional bone or plastic nut).
