Bobby Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Its time now to source the trem for my beloved patchwork axe, I have not spared any expense so far on components, when I was last into guitars so heavily as I am now (I'm a prodigal son) it was always a simply race between Kahler and Floyd, now there are licensed versions every where I look and nothing said of Kahlers pretty much, anyhoo, what is the deal between FRO and Schaller FR, I have a licensed FR on a Jackson and the metal is so so soft, its a simple matter to even strip the allen key recess, real dissapointing. I have read that Schaller version is an upgrade to thr FRO, is this true and if so what is the upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batfink Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Schaller made most of the original Floyd's back in the day so, as Wes said, you'd be happy with both. Due to the slightly shorter stock on the Schaller a lot of people use these if you're going to recess it into the body but it's your build so choose whatever you fancy. I use Schaller for the guitars i build but that just may be the fact i'm in Europe and Schaller's are more available than OFR's. Jem.
