Floyd Rose style
Double-locking vibrato systems for ultimate pitch control and stability.
The Floyd Rose style bridge is the industry standard for high-performance guitars, engineered to handle extreme pitch shifts while staying perfectly in tune. By locking the strings at both the bridge and the nut, these systems eliminate the common points of friction and slippage. Our selection includes original units and licensed high-end alternatives from manufacturers like Schaller, Gotoh, and Graph Tech, ensuring that you can find the exact replacement or upgrade for your professional-grade instrument.

Mechanical Integrity and Hardened Materials
The reliability of a double-locking system depends on the quality of its pivot points and the hardness of its components:
Knife Edges and Studs: We prioritize bridges with hardened steel inserts or solid steel plates. These "knife edges" are critical—they must remain sharp and resistant to wear to ensure the bridge always returns to the exact zero-point.
Block Material and Size: Like standard tremolos, Floyd-style bridges benefit from high-mass brass or steel blocks. We offer various heights (e.g., 32mm, 37mm, 42mm) to ensure the block has full travel range within your guitar's specific routing.
Saddle Technology: Beyond standard steel, we offer options with Graph Tech String Saver saddles to reduce string breakage, as well as specialized alloys for enhanced harmonic content.
Critical Fitment for Upgrades
Replacing a locking tremolo requires precise measurements to avoid body modifications:
Post Spacing: While 74mm (approx. 2.91") is the most common center-to-center distance for studs, some licensed versions or vintage models may vary. Always verify this before purchasing.
Nut Width and Radius: A complete system upgrade often includes the locking nut. We stock various sizes (e.g., R2, R3, R4) to match your neck width and fretboard radius.
String Spacing: Most Floyd-style bridges use a standard 10.7mm - 10.8mm saddle pitch, but we provide detailed specs to ensure proper alignment with your guitar’s pickups and fretboard edges.
Maintenance and Setup:
A professional Floyd Rose setup requires a balance between string tension and spring pull. We recommend checking the integrity of the mounting studs and using high-quality springs to maintain a consistent "floating" position.
