Floyd Rose

[jtmullet]

hi everyone 2 questions I am thinking of having ed roman install a floyd rose on a guitar for me and first thing is on the locking nut I don't want it to be drilled all the way through the back of the neck I want it like those dean dimebag models so do I need to buy a special kind of nut to do so. 2 ed roman sells floyds and the information says that there original does this mean there from the early eighties or there just new floyds made to original specs.

Make sure Ed gives you the titanium bridge, not the crappy normal one Your guitar will sound 100000x beter. Just ask eric johnson.

An original floyd rose is just a type of floyd rose bridge, so it will be newer.

You want a Top-Mount nut. It is a different part than the standard bolt-through nut.

The Original Floyd Rose bridge is the original design from Floyd Rose -- i.e. it is the style of bridge not its age. Floyd Rose style bridges are licensed for manufacture from many other manufacturers as well, and they are all a little different.

And if you want some real advise, stay far away from Ed Roman and NEVER EVER give him any money. (In the spirit of not poking the bear, I will leave it at that. Do a search on any forum if you want to know why to avoid Ed.)

Why not will he just **** up your guitar or is he just a asshole.

My advice:...........................RUN! From all that I have read about the man, I wouldn't ever conduct business with the man. His reputation really precedes him, and it's not a good one.
