OfficialFloydRoseYears in the making, the Floyd Rose FRX Tremolo System has finally been approved and manufactured! This is the official instructional video, where Floyd himself guides you through the installation and possible set-up variations of this revolutionary system. The FRX is designed to retrofit Gibson-style guitars, and comes with both standard and metric posts to retrofit both Gibson and Epiphone guitars, along with many other guitar brands that utilize the Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece combo. The bridge can be easily set up blocked (EVH style), fully floating and a new variation called “assisted floating” for better tuning stability than ever before on a floating Floyd Rose system. No routing is required, only two small wood screws are necessary to mount the FRX locking nut behind your guitar’s existing nut!

» 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗡𝗼𝘄 « floydrose.com/products/frtx3-D Printed Steel Original Locking Nut | Floyd Rose USAOfficialFloydRose2025-01-20 | We’re proud to announce the release of our groundbreaking USA-made Original 3D-printed steel locking nuts, offering a new level of quality and craftsmanship to the legendary product line.
Leveraging advanced metal 3D printing technology, the new Floyd Rose Original locking nuts deliver unmatched precision and consistency, replacing the traditional “lost wax” casting method that dominated for decades. The shift to 3D printing allows for intricate detailing and tighter tolerances, ensuring each nut meets exact specifications.
The process begins with powdered metal, which is precisely 3D printed into the desired shape using advanced metal printing technology. After printing, the parts are depowdered and cleaned before undergoing a sintering process—an advanced heat treatment—during which the parts achieve full density and hardness. Lastly, the nuts are CNC “kiss-cut” to exacting specifications for consistency and control of the fit before receiving a premium electroplating finish.
We’re bringing back the classic ten nut sizes and will be expanding into offering different radii in 2025 to match our new USA Original Saddles.Rick Pierce of Q5 on Floyd Rose Del Mar Guitar - Only SoloOfficialFloydRose2020-06-17 | Rick Pierce of Q5 demonstrates the new FR Del Mar Series with Speed Guide on a song written by him and his former Q5 bandmate, Floyd Rose, for his upcoming album on Crusader Records.Ben Higgins Shreds on the Floyd Rose Del Mar Series Speed GuideOfficialFloydRose2020-05-26 | The online instructor and Guitar World contributor tests out the Floyd Rose Del Mar Series' speed guide ramp on this short jam.

The Rail Tail Tremolo is a revolutionary upgrade for your Strat-style guitar. It’s a full-contact, dive-only tremolo that merges the solid feel of a hardtail bridge with the flexibility of a tremolo, all without modifying your guitar. Precision-engineered, the Rail Tail is designed for a smooth, DIY install, adapting seamlessly to different guitar bodies.
The innovation lies in its rail-mounted design, allowing the tremolo plate to rotate smoothly without the usual bevel, improving tuning stability and sound quality. Plus, its unique design maintains pitch for open strings when bending another, enhancing stability like a hardtail bridge.
With up to 15 degrees more dive range than standard tremolos and advanced string block features for top-notch energy transfer, sustain, and tone, the Rail Tail is ready to elevate your playing experience. Available in both narrow and wide string spacings for optimal fit.
E to E string spacing available in Narrow spacing 2 1/16" (52mm) and Wide spacing 2 7/32" (56mm)
►𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: The Rail mounting holes are universal meaning that a narrow spaced Rail Tail will fit onto a wide-spaced guitar body and vice versa◄ (For optimum performance, playing experience, and reliability, it’s highly recommended that the guitar this unit is being installed on, is equipped with locking tuners and a quality nut.)
