Just Ordered An OFR

by **Metal Iain** on Fri Oct 20, 2006 4:23 pm

Just got a black Original Floyd Rose off of eBay for 160 clams new to replace the cheapo trem on my LTD M-200. A hefty hole has just been burned into my wallet so I think the heavy boozing will cease for a week or two. I'm sure it'll be worth it though.

Good buy. I wish my Licensed Trem would just fuck off.

If you can afford it I'd recommend tracking one down from this guy in Sheffield who I bought mine off of (via eBay). 160 beans is about a 50 quid mark down on an OFR.

Man, I would pay 160 quid just never to have to drink 1 pint of Miller again!

I'm not arsed with Trems any more, they're too much hassle and I don't even use it enough to warrant having one. My next guitar will definately have a fixed bridge.

What hassle??

If you get a fixed bridge, how can silly noises be made?

Haha! Very true man, is always fun to go off on a mad dive trip with one of those things!

Sam, our guitar player can make a really convincing elephant noise with his whammy! :lol:

Filth.

Aye, I miss the mad world of trem abuse. The trem on my LTD is kind of fucked, it used to work pretty well but not anymore. I guess you get what you pay for and I didn't pay anything for the guitar.

Insurance claims ftw.

Licensed trems = the bane of the mid-tier metal guitar. I literally chucked my LTD-250 flying V at the fucking WALL once because the trem was causing me so many headaches. It was sucking the joy from the art of guitar playing...

I have a fixed bridge now. There has been no looking back.

I'm more and more pleased I went for the fixed bridge warrior all the time

Even if it is a beginner's "J" series :lol:

Fucking nora!

Got the trem today, installed it, and set it up in about 3 hours flat. The trem fucking ROCKS! It's actually holding it's tuning well despite me only stretching the strings out twice.

What is the difference between the 2? Better quality aside,

I'm interested in buying one, my 'licensed' one, has gone oily coloured, the fine tuners are jarred, and takes me about 3 years to get the guitar in tune!!

by **Metal Iain** on Mon Oct 30, 2006 2:30 pm

Erm, better made (in Deutscheland), made of harder metal, they actually work...
