I'm really not an expert on tremolo. I just bought my first guitar with a tremolo. But here goes.

My friend as a Jackson Rhoads EX that as a Floyd Rose. I never liked the feel of it. Strangly the guitar I bought also as a Floyd Rose but they are not the same, I love the feel of mine.

What I discovered is that they are not Floyd Rose but Licensed to Floyd Rose Parts which I think is different. Just be sure to check that out. They are still great tremolo's but they are not the same. two different builds with the same Licensed to Floyd Rose parts.

My advice would be to test how it feels first and test more than one guitar. Mine is a Yamaha.

One other thing, they are a pain to tune so be prepare to curse a lot when tuning and changing strings.

Do a search on Floyd rose in this section of the forum I know about a couple of older thread that talk about this.

thanx a lot man....
ure right i should try quite a few out ....will do ...any way thanx

Double locking means that the strings are locked on both ends (by clamps or whatever), so floyd rose is double locking. I like to toy around with them, great fun, but I still prefer my guitar without one. Yamaha Pacifica has the most comfortable FR tremolo I've tried, and it sounds fabulous. Hm, this reminiscence might reignite an old love, come to think of it.

I am now the proud owner of a Jackson Warrior XT. I bought it used, and it has a double-locking tremolo bridge. But it does not have the tremolo bar. The bridge has a fairly large sized hole where the bar should go, but since the bar will likely be pretty thin, there needs to also be a small mounting nut of some kind to hold it in. I think this bridge may the the special "made for Floyd Rose" bridge you have been talking about here that is on the slightly older Jackson Warrior guitars.

Where can I find the whammy bar and holding nut assembly for this guitar? If there are lots of places, who has good prices?

Thanks !
