Description

Floyd Rose continues its legacy of innovation with the brand new surface-mounting FRX Tremolo System for Les Paul, SG, and Flying V-style guitars. The FRX is a direct swap for the Tune-O-Matic and stopbar type bridge system, using the existing mounting stud holes and requiring no routing whatsoever. The locking nut mounts behind your guitar’s existing nut, in place of the truss rod cover.

The FRX locking nut has mounting holes on the left and right; only two wood screws have to be installed to mount the nut.

*NOTE: On some Les Pauls, particularly LP Customs, the neck angle is not sufficient to allow the FRX to work without slight modification to the body. The receiving portion of the spring tension transfer rod on the base plate extends slightly below the bridge and may rest on the body unless a tiny channel is routed.

Available in Chrome, Black Nickel & Gold

    Put my new FRTX on a cheap Epiphone SG Special Satin for fun and practice. The ground wire on this SG was to the tune-0-matic pins and the FRTX grounds at the stopbar pins only, no ground = lots of noise. Attached a wire from the tune-o-matic hole to the stopbar tailpiece pin and problem solved. If your guitar grounds to the stopbar you will not have this issue. Had to shim the FRTX locking nut with some 1/8″ basswood plywood to match it to the existing nut. Once installed it works as intended. Only 4 stars because one of the fine tuners were corroded, it just needed some oil, at this price it should have been oiled properly in manufacturing. I enjoy tinkering, if you do not, get a pro to install this for you. Some guitars will require more work to fit it than others.
