The first, the only, the Original double-locking tremolo system used by more professionals than any other! The Floyd Rose Original is precision-made in Germany, engineered to exacting specifications using high-quality hardened steel and a nickel-plated brass sustain block. The tremolo kit contains the bridge, springs & claw, mounting studs, and all hardware necessary for installation. Locking nut sold separately here.
The Original 6-string tremolo has a 10" radius out-of-the-box. A factory-installed shim under the center saddles can be removed, bringing the radius to a flatter 12". To match different radii, the individual saddles can be shimmed with either saddle shims (available on the web) or using copper or aluminum tape.
Please note: The "Made in Germany" stamp has been removed from the current production run of Original Tremolos. If you purchase an Original tremolo from an authorized reseller without this marking, rest assured that this is still the same heat-treated hardened steel Original Tremolo.
