requires regular maintainence for optimum performance. Too many moving parts IMO. Too costly.

Gotoh Floyd Rose from 120USD.

www.internetmusicsupply.com

You ahev to search HARD for it.

Chrome for abt... 118USD. Without shipping of course.

 

[johnny_be_goode]

Anyone interested Gotoh FR?

 

[ShredCow]

Very very interesting

Btw, that internetmusicsupply, its 118USD @ last count, a mth back. They haven't changed since I bought 1 from them 1 yr back. Maybe you were looking @ a gold version, or the list price on the website.


I'll get a Black Gotoh FR. Let me know. but first, pm me the website, I'll like to see, in case its different somehow, just in case.

almost confused with speedloader...,
added feature - not need to cut

Genuine Licensed Floyd Rose quality? Still licensed (playing with words!)

I like it that is machined steel, thats strong, but 1 very worrisome aspect.

Its single locking, only @ the nut.

The reason why a floyd is so stable is beause it double locking, it isolates a section of string from nut to trem, so its uber stable.

Single locking, I have my doubts.

And ball end snipping? Just string the ball end @ the tuner, no need to cut.

Another gripe is that, the trem posts are not locking like the Ibanez Edge or Gotoh.

Another concern (not gripe) is that the pivot points are fixed like an Ibanez Edge's. A Gotoh has 1 fixed point and 1 open shoulder point, so if your posts are a touch (like up to 1mm - 1.5mm) too wide it will still fit.

the website you gave me is now selling at USD160++

anyway a Japanese Agent of Gotoh is selling at

"Gotoh GE1996T model in chrome is JPY5,800 and in black is JPY6,100.
The delivery charge is JPY1,600 and banking charge is JPY3,000(wiring
payment only)."

Anyone interested in bulk order?
I'm trying to negotiate more discount...

lets say black Gotoh
S$84.71 (JPY3,000)

Delivery
S$21.43 (JPY1,600)

Dude, you said the black gotoh is JPY6,100. But why do you put it @ 3,000 yen?

Shouldn't it be, 6,100 + 1,600 + 3,000 = JPY10,700?

 

[johnny_be_goode]

ok edited,


ok goin to email them to see how much is the delivery for 2...

 

[ShredCow]

Yes, get the final price first... Then we order.

 

[crozzfire]

2 shredcow
3 crossfire

....

the agent yet to reply today... :?

you guys want black or chrome?

 

[ShredCow]

I'm black.

but i suggest you put on hold the namelist and gathering names, till you get a fixed, final pricing.

Include all extra charges, shipping, bank charges what not.

Don't want nasty surprises, when the item chalks up more than what you claimed it to be, not good for you man.

 

[crozzfire]

haha yeah. if its too ex, i might chicken out! :lol:

haha, im in for black also.

 

[johnny_be_goode]

thats for 1

I need to know the final order then can get the quote from agent and split the misc cost (t/t, delivery, ...etc)

because there is combined shipping, banking charge etc.
So if you all really want. just confirmed. It's easier this way, I just go on and tell the agent how many we need. :wink:

for bulk order he will waive the banking charge, but yet to get back to me how many is their bulk order.

 

[ShredCow]

There's Violet Chrome too... i recall it looks FAB. Very cool... purple-ish chrome-ish, very nice.

 

[bluepowder]

ok i need some serious advice...

I hate my lo pro edge all rusted....i need a new bridge..i can afford it...but please...SOMEONE TELL ME IF AND HOW I CAN FIT IT IN A PRESTIGE..Malcolm said he wont do it
