Floyd Rose Original Tremolo (Right-Handed)

ESP describes this guitar's stock bridge as a Floyd Rose Original upgraded with stainless steel screws, so a standard Floyd Rose Original is the same design and footprint. Floyd Rose Originals have a stud spacing of about 74mm and a 12 inch saddle radius, matching this guitar's 12 inch fingerboard radius. The stock bridge has stainless steel screws, which the standard Original kit does not, since Floyd Rose sells stainless upgrades separately. Not measured on this guitar.

Floyd Rose's Original and 1000 Series share the same basic routed footprint and stud spacing, a well established cross-compatibility within the Floyd Rose family.

Jackson's own product page confirms this guitar ships with a genuine Floyd Rose 1000 Series, matching this genuine Floyd Rose Original directly, at the confirmed 74mm post spacing.

Floyd Rose's Original and 1000 Series share the same basic routed footprint and stud spacing, a well established cross-compatibility within the Floyd Rose family.

ESP's own forum support confirms the Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge shares its cavity footprint with the genuine Floyd Rose Original, so a full swap is a real, documented upgrade path, though the exact post spacing R-number of the nut and studs should be checked against your specific unit before ordering.

Floyd Rose's own Swapping Your Floyd Rose guide lists the 6-string Original, Custom Shoppe, 1984, Special, 1000 Series Original and Titanium as sharing the same dimensions and swappable without additional routing, so an Original mounts on the same studs and footprint as the Special this guitar ships with. Tier alone is not a fitment reason here. What holds this back from a clean drop-in is a caveat in that same guide: the Special's string lock screws are shorter than the Original's, and some manufacturers route smaller, tighter cavities on bodies built around a Special, in which case a little more routing is needed to keep upward tremolo travel. Whether Jackson routes tight on this model has not been confirmed either way. Verified against floydrose.com, September 2026.
