Schaller Tremolo

I got this on my used 1990 Jackson Rhoads Pro and haven't had any problems with it. For a 22 year old bridge it's holding up VERY well. The knife edges look brand new and there's no rust anywhere, without me just saying it there'd be no way of knowing it's 22 years old. Just like the original these things are great. I can dive bomb, squeal, and flutter and have the bridge come perfectly back in tune every time. The deal with the knife edges is that if they’re softer metal then over time they get worn down from pivoting on them. Once it’s not sharp anymore the bridge can’t return to “zero” thus keeping it in tune. Bending and using the bar makes the guitar go out of tune. Having hardened steel knife edges, like the Original, Schaller, and Gotoh, keep them sharp for much longer. Like this, it’s been 22 years and still sharp. Most licensed ones can go bad even within the first year.
These Schallers are a bit more expensive than the original so that's my only complaint, I'd rather spend less and have the original.
One complaint I've heard is that these are made out of zinc (like cheaper licensed ones) but have hardened steel knife inserts. The problem with them being a softer metal is that when intonating the bridge when you tighten the intonation set screws they can sometimes strip and become useless. No fix for it and AFAIK the only option is a new bridge. Schaller has since fixed the problem with inserts for each screw but on older ones it was a problem. Again I haven't witnessed this so I can't comment. Most Schaller floyd roses don’t say Schaller on them, they’re normally licensed from a guitar company such as Washburn, Jackson, Gibson… and has their name imprinted on the bridge instead. They are still the same bridge, just with a different name.

Mounted on guitar luthier for 2 years, at earlier used in place of jackson floyd on my DK2.


Accurate and robust, this will be the two words to choose first.


-No easier or harder to settle a pink original in revenche more precise.

-Much more resistant to wear than the Gotoh (edge ​​pro & Related) as used for 4 years, mine has no wear marks, my Gotoh chrome has lost his place in the hand rests or less 2 years: (.
With adjustable wear-free power cords knives.
The not referred does not eat up the allen wrench hole remains perfectly hexagonal, even forcing it.


-Screws of adjustment for height was not very late for a very precise adjustment (unlike the bulk of copies is not Jackson and ESP)

Can replace a floyd-jackson, esp, ibanez, without any modification of violin, surely the other but I do not advance on this point.

-The pack includes floyd, springs, stop bar, basically the kit is complete.

The only downside is that there is not "black chrome or cosmo black"




Floyds of all tested, this one remains my favorite because of its robustness and back are a perfect balance without any default, the view of most of the paint friction is far superior to competitors.

It just does not deserve 10/10 is not available because in many colors which for me have been a plus.
