Floyd Rose Special Review

Updated November 3, 2019 By Den Leave a Comment

Floyd Rose Special Review

Welcome to Floyd Rose Special Review.

This Floyd Rose Special Review will give you the detailed information about its difference from the Original Floyd Rose Tremolo.

The Floyd Rose Tremolo Systems, are extremely popular electric guitar bridges.

What is a Floyd Rose Special Tremolo?

The Floyd Rose Special is the cheaper version of the Original Floyd Rose. It maintains most of the quality and craftsmanship present in the original Floyd Rose tremolo,  and at a much lesser price.

These are also manufactured in South Korea, but with Floyd Rose strict quality control which ensures consistent build quality.

Drop-in Replacement for the Floyd Rose Licensed Tremolo.

There are so many copies of the Original Floyd Rose Tremolo and some are labeled as under licensed, meaning it is manufactured by other companies but licensed by Floyd Rose to produce a cheaper version of the tremolo. Some are just blatant fakes.

Then Floyd Rose manufactured the Floyd Rose Special so the players have an option to replace those cheap quality tremolos.

The ease of installation is another big selling point for the Floyd Rose Special. This is a drop-in replacement for those Floyd Rose Licensed Tremolos.

Perhaps one the biggest selling points is the wide array of nut sizes the Floyd Rose Special Tremolo System could come in. This means that it could fit practically any electric guitar model which is equipped with a Floyd Rose Type Tremolo.

It also comes in a large selection of colors and finishes to suit the taste of any guitarist and to match the other parts already present on an instrument.

The sheer amount of styles available also means that a guitarist can easily mix and match parts if they choose to do so.

This tremolo kit contains, the locking nut, the bridge, springs and a claw, and mounting studs, for installation.

The Floyd Rose Special makes use of zinc alloy saddles instead of the usual steel saddles and zinc alloy tone block instead of the brass block used on the Original Floyd Rose Tremolos.

The reason being is to cut the cost. The rest of the system also uses high-quality materials that ensure durability over a prolonged period of time despite heavy playing.

An Affordable Option

It is actually the most affordable options in the Floyd Rose line, making it highly worth of the investment.

It is also cheaper compared to tremolo kits from existing brands, which are of arguably similar quality.

Also, Floyd Rose has taken it one step further and have made a seven-string version of their Special tremolo system available along with the regular six-string version.

This makes this product perfect for people on a tight budget or for those looking to try out Floyd Rose systems first before splashing the cash on a more expensive tremolo.

Being said that this tremolo system is great value for money, for those on a tight budget.

Much like all high-quality tremolo systems, the Floyd Rose Special keeps the guitar in tune despite heavy pitch changes brought about by string bending and the use of the vibrato bar.

This tremolo system also improves the volume of the guitar along with its sustaining capacity as previously mentioned.

Pricing

This tremolo is being retailed for $90 but you may find it cheaper online.

Conclusion

This will not replace an Original Floyd Rose manufactured by Schaller which is made in Germany but this is a better quality compared to most licensed Floyd Rose Tremolos in the market.

Is this suitable for Floyd Rose Upgrades? Yes to some extent but you should limit yourself to some parts where you can transfer to an Original Floyd Rose Tremolo once you have the budget.
