		Floyd Rose tremolos are known for their excellent serviceability: the mechanism is well-documented and spare parts can be purchased directly from manufacturer or via dealers.
		The Floyd Rose Tremolo.The agreement stipulated a royalty paid out to Floyd for every unit sold; Kramer eventually defaulted on the agreement, which resulted in a lawsuit between the two parties.

	Floyd Rose SpeedLoader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Floyd Rose SpeedLoader is a floating, double-locking, guitar bridge based on the Floyd Rose Original.
		During the process of rough tuning a Floyd Rose equipped guitar, the locking nut is usually left unlocked throughout the entire string replacement procedure, which facilitates adjusting the tuning of all the strings using the machine heads.
		Like the original Floyd Rose bridge, the SpeedLoader bridge is a truly "floating" bridge and has some of the same disadvantages associated with it.

	Floyd Rose information - Search.com
		Floyd Rose owns the patents on the design, and licenses these patents to several original equipment manufacturers.
		The Floyd Rose system combines a lock behind the neck bridge (the "nut") of the guitar, which prevents the tuning ("machine") heads from being used and holds the strings taut, with a "floating bridge", where the other ends of the strings are also vise-locked (hence, "double-locking").
		The use of the Floyd Rose was popularised by Eddie Van Halen.

	Floyd Rose
		Also in 1985, the Floyd Rose unit for a Gibson Les Paul was introduced.
		By 1989, Kramer came out with a Sustainer model where Floyd was one of the designers of the pickup used in that model, and he also made some refinements in the tremolo unit.
		That is the story of Floyd Rose and his infamous tremolo unit,as I know it and have been told.

	The Floyd Rose Page
		The Floyd Rose Tremolo is a full (floating¦ tremolo, pivoting on two large screws in the face of the guitar body, that allow upward movement as well as downward.
		The fl Original Floyd Rose also features the hardened steel fulcrum points.Some OFR units have more thin baseplates that other models, and are not very common.
		Apparently, Floyd's contract granted him a percentage of every GUITAR that went out the door with his tremolo on it but it seems some were going out without a guitar attached thus lending a hand in the fall of the mighty Kramer empire.

	Floyd Rose
		Tuning your Floyd Rose bridge is certainly a tricky business when the bridge is floating.
		This is because the total tension of the strings must balance the total tension of the tremolo springs with the base plate of the bridge parallel to the face of the guitar and with the strings tuned to the desired pitch.
		The new (six string) Floyd Rose SpeedLoader bridges and strings will be available in January 2003 in stores and on line at www.floydrose.com.

		By no means did Floyd Rose invent the dive-bomb, but his groundbreaking locking tremolo system, which debuted in the late-1970s, gave guitar players full license to maim, injure, and generally speak ill of their guitars with no risk of falling out of tune.
		Rose: That was a Strat I had.I [usually] tell people it was a 1957 Strat because it’s too complicated to tell them [the details]Actually, it was a 1963 Strat body a white one with a 1957 neck.
		Rose: I’ve really been out of it for many years because I went back to college and studied chemistry and things like thatI was really out of the music scene for 15 years.

		This is because the total tension of the strings must balance the total tension of the tremolo springs with the base plate of the bridge parallel to the face of the guitar and with the strings tuned to the desired pitch.
		If your bridge says licensed under Floyd Rose patents anywhere on it, this is a licensed bridge and not under our quality control.

	Floyd Rose Locking Tremelo \| Guitar Columns @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		My other note is, some Floyd Roses (or very similar models anyway) have a tunnel under the unit for the string, so you put it in just like in any other guitar.
		Floyd's are really simple, if the bridge pulls up when restringing, the springs are what you look at.

		The Floyd Rose tremolo system is one of the best double locking tremolo systems ever made.
		The original Floyd Rose was designed so that there was no fretboard under the nut and the new redesigned version on the Kahler’s would leave about 1/8" or less of the fretboard.
		One problem mentioned about the Floyd Rose was in the use of “Screw Posts.” The Screw Posts were just simple screws made special to seat the Knife Edge on the Tremolo, but with heavy use would loosen.

		There are two types of bodies on the Floyd Rose Signature; type I and type II.
		In 84-85, pickups were changed to Seymour Duncans and it acquired the new Banana headstock and then the Pointy variety in 1986-87 and both these eras had Floyd's signature on the truss rod rather than the headstock itself.

		Floyd Rose works by balancing the pull from the springs and the pull of the strings...or something.
		Becuase the floyd is set up in balance it allows big tremelo dives and significant pitch rises aswell.

	Floyd Rose Tremolos
		The Floyd Rose Tremolo utilizes over 15 patents and it is my understanding that Floyd doesn't necessarily license out all of the patents.
		Floyd is probably one of the smartest people in the industry today.

		The Floyd Rose Original vibrato is arguably the best, most stable unit available.
		Use the Floyd's fine tuners to do the rest using the same process as you did above remembering to not go sharp over the correct pitch.
		When the guitar is tuned to A440, the faceplate of the Floyd unit should be parallel (not necessarily flush or even) to the body of the guitar.

	Floyd Rose Set-up Instructions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Floyd Rose tremolo/vibrato unit is a guitarist's best friend ONLY when it is set-up properly.
		The Floyd was designed to act as a "floating" unit, one which has upward and downward mobility, but many of today's and yesterday's players, like Eddie Van Halen, prefer it "bottomed-out" on the guitar's body for a more "tonal" quality from the added surface area contact.
		The Floyd's saddles require that the "balls" of the strings be removed from the string.
