Floyd Rose

Cruising through Facebook friends, mostly the guys I know through luthiery, I stumbled across this absolutely AWESOME picture (from guitarsquid.com). If you work on electric guitars frequently (my buddies and I do), you are bound to one day get absolutely owned by a Floyd Rose. I once had a Floyd's spring snap back and catch flesh on two fingers between the coil. That gnarly blood blister pair did not look or feel normal for weeks, and I will admit to using a few "curse words." As master Kris Olsen once said, "All Floyd Rose tremolos come with a free calendar. Sadly, it doesn't go past 1989."
