Xanthus Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Don't worry about your English, man You're fine. As for the bridge, it's a "licensed" Floyd, so my guess is that it will be around the same quality as most other licensed bridges. My concern is that the bridge you show is a Fastloader Floyd, and the bridges on the JEMs are not. I don't know if they are able to be replaced without modification to your instrument. But what is wrong with the bridge on your JEM? If you have a JEM to begin with, the quality of that Floyd bridge is much better than the one you want to buy.

marko_slash Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I didn't mentioned that I am building a Jem, so I need a cheap but good floyd... thanks anyway! any other opinion is welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 There's 'Cheap' and there's 'Good'. Unless you're buying a second hand OFR, Gotoh or Schaller FR, you're not really going to combine the two. 'Cheap' and 'Good for the money', that's a different story...

guitar2005 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I didn't mentioned that I am building a Jem, so I need a cheap but good floyd... thanks anyway! any other opinion is welcome! Cheap but good? Get a used Edge or Edge Pro from ebay or a Gotoh/Shcaller FR if you must have a Floyd look alike. Seriously though... a used Edge is pretty cheap and they're your best bet.

Ben Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I recently bought the same bridge from guitarfetish in black, and it seems pretty good to me. I should point out though that my guitar has a tremsetter installed, and I haven't tried it without the tremsetter, but for my purposes it has been great. It returns to the exact same pitch after dives, and the fastloader aspect is definitely a lot less of a pain in the ass than the crappy double locking trem it replaced. Thats my experience with it, but as I pointed out I do have a tremsetter installed, so how much of the pitch-stability is due to the quality of the bridge, and how much is down to the tremsetter, I do not know. Obviously I also do not yet know how it will hold up over time. Thought I'd share just incase thats at least slightly useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86barettaguy Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm not sure about these single-locking licensed floyds. are they really as stable as a double-locking design? no chance of the ball-ends moving around and getting stuck as you use the trem? I guess if you used fender speed-bullets or whatever they call them it should work fine. I'd still prefer getting a used OFR or Edge trem (or Gotoh licensed floyd). They look and play great and will stand up to some serious abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom22 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Dont get a cheap Floyd. The good ones have enough trouble. A cheap floyd copy will not sit right, will not intunate, and will get chewed up on the posts. I know cause I've been there. I got a Jackson one, which is pretty good. It was only like 70-80 bucks, and its fairly good quality. Hard steel, heavy duty screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
