Floyd Rose Original Tremolo (Right-Handed)

Why we say this

Charvel list a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo on the Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR. Floyd Rose describe the 1000 Series as the Korean-made version of the Original, made to the same specifications, so the Original fits the same studs and route. The Original kit does not include a locking nut, so the guitar's existing Floyd Rose 1000 nut stays.

Why we say this

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.

Why we say this

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.

Why we say this

Ibanez's own spec lists the JEM Jr with a Standard DL double-locking tremolo, a Floyd-style design that replaced the Edge III as Ibanez's budget locking trem. Owners report Floyd-style units with a 37mm block fitting the Edge III and Standard DL routes on budget Ibanez guitars, but stud spacing and cavity fit for a genuine Floyd Rose Original have not been confirmed on this model.

Why we say this

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.

Why we say this

Ibanez's own spec for the S1070PBZ lists the Edge-Zero II with ZPS3Fe. The Edge-Zero II uses its own cavity routing and stud design, which a generic Floyd Rose does not share, so this will not drop in without body work.
