I must say, I’m am incredibly disappointed with the build quality of this FRS SE trem. I own around 20 Floyd Rose Specials produced before 2020 and can quite honestly say there has been a significant change to production quality on these newer units. The precision on the baseplate knife edges is extremely poor and rather jagged looking – honestly, you’ll find better machining on the Wilkinson double locking trem plates than on this. The machining tolerances for the saddles are awful as well. I can slide a thick pick between many of them when installed and strung up. The saddle pin assemblies are also poorly machined. You are able to physically move them laterally by a few millimetres in either direction. The tremolo block shims have also been reduced in size to less than half. They no longer extend to the back of the tuning spring plate like old FRS units or the OFR. This means you cannot surface deck these like the older models. These units also do not come with a lock nut, which would be excusable if the quality was anything like how they used to be, but sadly it isn’t. Spend the very few dollars extra and buy the Gotoh 1996T. That is a very excellent trem that puts this newer FRS iteration to shame in absolutely every way.

I have had guitars with other brands of trems on them and some are good and some just aren’t I believe I got a good one here it is FRs lower priced model but it’s built very well and looks really nice it’s only been on my guitar for about a month now and it stays in tune works awesome and even after being cleaned a few times it still looks new not like a lot of others I’ve see

A friend of mine wanted me to rebuild his old friends guitar that was basically just a neck and body. He wanted all the hardware to be gold, and searching up original Floyd Rose systems in gold was going to be very costly, so finding the Floyd Rose Special SE as an alternative here at Solo, and for a great price, it was an easy decision for both myself and my friend. Perfect direct drop-in replacement once I measured everything out and drilled the posts holes in. The only downside I could think of, is that it didn’t come with a matching headstock locking nut which I found elsewhere for a good price. Other than that, no complaints.
