another rusty steel block treatment method.
use sandpaper to rub on it.

even up the surface oc the steel block thingy, then it can be use again.

FYI, rougher surface of steel block can hold/clamp strings better.

well, some schallers dont say floyd rose II, the one on my gibson says gibson tongue.gif
but yea, they're all the same.
the OFR are also made by schaller.

hmm... i'm thinking of getting low profile version.
the one stated in the website said it's OEM.
but didn't mention which company is it.

any idea?

maybe whoever makes the ibanez trems.
its definitely not schaller for sure.

but whoever is gonna order from there, let me know.
i might want to order the wilkinson VSVG bridge to replace my highway one bridge.

what i mean is OFR low profile version....

err... slightly out of tune if too drastic divebomb and pulling la...

but i found out that with lubbing it, performance will be better.

i'm using universal industry standard leadscrew grease.

of course, i do agreed that floyd copy material is not as durable as OFR.

however, proper maintenance and treatment for knife edge definately will pro-long it's life time.

even OFR also the same. =)

ya, agreed that posts will be worn out easily for floyd copy also.
let's see how long it can stand for me and for next bridge replacement again... hehe

if 1 floyd copy (200RM) can stand for 1 year, i still think it's worth... =)

anyway, it's ok since it's not installed in my main rig.

ohya, everydying, how much is OFR price in south east asia market now?
need to survey abit before i get it.
