  • This is the battle of the bridges, and only one trem can win. In this shootout I'll compare the floyd rose 1000, floyd rose 1984 limited edition, floyd rose original, and gotoh 1996t.

    I really enjoyed your video the other day. I know exactly what you're talking about, that butter. I had a Japanese RG that was amazing. I put so much into it, Fernandez sustainer, evolution bridge pick up, scalloped frets etc.. Steve Vai would've teared up for this version of his beloved FLO... I refused to play on my friends guitars with original Floyd rose tremolo's because they said it was so much better than Ibanez or Jackson. Personally I thought Ibanez was a little smoother than Jackson, personal preference maybe. But, the original floyd rose has a certain feeling which is so beautiful and smooth, exactly like you were pointing out. You're the first person who has really demonstrated the difference between the Floyd Rose versus licensed variants. I'm assuming the term "butter" was used for the feeling of the Floyd Rose in the butt rock days. A guitarist in 2015 used the same term when he was convincing me to try one for the first time. I had a license Floyd Rose in 88 and I don't know how many I've had since and here I was not even 10 years back experiencing perfection in a floating trem system for the first time... So, I went down the rabbit hole. My questions were, "Will a Floyd Rose Special do the job? Can I rebuild a junker super straight from the 80s or 90s to compare with or surpass modern day tech? What are the differences in Floyd Roses?" And the kid in me wants to put one on a headless guitar somehow without having to spend $800 on a Sophia.. OK, pulling my head out of the rabbit hole and come to a strange conclusion. The one thing truly different is the resonance block. I'm wondering if the heavier "fat brass trem block" has everything to do with that heavier balanced field versus a licensed Ibanez, Jackson etc. the "butter"

    Thanks for the video! I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the higher mass of the block is contributing to the better flutter on your soloist, esp since all else seems to be equal (same springs, strings, etc)

  • @illexploityou
    @illexploityou 6 месяцев назад +8

    In regards to flutter and sustain on the Ge1996t: If you use the GOTOH PSP springs that came with the GOTOH trem, they are designed with the right amount of rigidity needed for that specific bridge. The FR black noiseless springs do not have enough rigidity in them (they are essentially standard FR springs with a nominal increase in rigidity thanks to the powder coating) to balance between both the mass of the bridge/string tension on one end with the hardpoints of the claw on the other, forcing to you have to end up driving the claw screws deeper into the body to balance the bridge where it needs to be. stretching springs past their optimal tension point completely saps any flutter and sustain from the entire system. I'm surprised you got that much flutter out of that bridge with those springs, lol. If you wanna maintain the FR springs setup, add a 4th spring and backing the trem claw screws off accordingly to rebalance the tremolo will help give the bridge a chance to shine. If you are worried about the GOTOH PSP springs adding harmonics, I wouldn't worry too much. The powder coating the FR noiseless springs are given chips off over time.... and way too easily I might add... especially at points of contact, rendering the powder coating nearly useless as a noise dampener. Using soft foam under the springs, or adding heat shrink tubing inside any tremolo spring (wide enough to keep contact with the inside of the springs) are easy enough and generally perform better with unwanted harmonics than a simple powder coating because they actually acoustically decouple the springs from the points of contact as opposed to just adding paint to the raw metal. the tubing is far more aesthetically pleasing than the foam but I've realized (the hard way) that no one other than guys like us gives two sticks about how aesthetically clean out trem cavities are. 🤣 Great in depth video. IMO, The GOTOH, based on build quality alone, is as good or better when comparing it with all Floyd Rose has to offer, aside from the unobtainable (unobtanium) all titanium build FR's. Add to that the retail price disparity between the two brands of trems and I'd be willing to fork a couple middle fingers to FR for having the balls to jack up the already cringe retail price points they had. Not a damn thing in the supply and demand of FR bridges has merited a 50% and higher markup in the last 2 years.... The mostly static cost of the GOTOH and the "relative" steadiness in fluctuations of most other related guitar hardware/parts is kind of damning. I love FR bridges and I love what the brand helped develop, but as a business model , similar to what a lot of major guitar brands are doing, I find it extremely off-putting, albeit a helpful means of avoiding unnecessary purchases.

      @illexploityou 5 месяцев назад

      @@chocolaa-p2689they can. As with any component on a trem, it will depend on Your setup and how well you are able to balance the tension relationship between your strings, springs, and guitar. If you can do that, I'd say that yes, they're capable of giving any decent locking trem more flutter than standard FR springs. They have a higher tensil strength which helps them return to their zero point more consistently, and are made of alloys that give them a greater elastic limit. that elasticity is what creates the flutter effect when tension is suddenly released.

    I'm sure someone has probably pointed this out to you by now, but the GE1996T is not just a push in. You push it in, and then screw it down to the height you want, and then tighten the allen screw to adjust the tightness/floppiness of it. That's why it's sitting up so high. You did not screw it in, and then tighten the allen screw to adjust it. Then, you just unscrew it, and pull it back out, to take it back off.

      All I can tell you is that in my experience they are fine, although the arm tends to wobble (not a problem if you don't like the bar "tight", but I do), and the hex screws are shit, so I've replaced mine with better quality ones (Schaller) and a new trem arm (also made by Schaller). The upgrades are fairly cheap, so it's not a problem, I've found. the big things with these is they actually have proper steel saddles, and a brass block as standard, unlike the crappy "Special"!!! No cracking or splitting saddles to worry about!!
      They aren't as good as the Original Floyd (which is ridiculously priced now) or the Schaller Lockmeister (Floyd killer, they are as good if not better than an OFR)!). I don't go crazy with the bar, and I have a light touch, so maybe if you are a heavy user and abuse it you might have a problem, but the one in my BC Rich is very good quality, and even the black coating is still intact after more than a decade.🤔😁

    The Gotoh is the best design, they've taken the concept and run with it. To my mind it's better than any of the trems they make for Ibanez. The stud lock and the screw in arm with the allen screw to tighten it, is a better design as well.
    I like the Lockmeister that Schaller make, over 19854, and definitely the 1000, because i's every bit as good as a Floyd, better made with quality steel and hardened allen bolts as well, but at about half the price. It's a direct replacement for any OFR as well, whereas the Gotoh usually needs modifications to the guitar.

    What's the Gotoh 1996T made of? It's powder metal (iron) for the saddle and the sub saddle (baseplate) is made of zinc which is a soft metal. Their website only says "specially processed steel saddle" That doesn't say Hardened steel.. if you email them they'll tell you. So my question for everyone is...how is this tremolo superior when its made of inferior materials than the Floyd Rose Special. FRS has zinc saddles and sustain block but the baseplate is steel and spot hardened knife edges. Anyway...the more you know...💥

    • @Ikillintel1
      @Ikillintel1 6 месяцев назад

      @@herbcanter2114 prove it. The Gotoh has a zinc saddle. They do not list materials and construction on their website, they’re vague in emails and avoid questions about anything other than the saddle. My point is, you people say the Gotoh is on par with the OFR and it’s factual not. The price point alone proves it’s made of lower quality materials… you get what you pay for, that’s true in everything not just guitar parts or tremolo systems.
      I’m satisfied the Gotoh has Spot hardened knife edges just like the Special does… and until I see proof otherwise it’s going to fall into the same category as a FRS in my opinion.

    My experience with the Gotoh: If you can't or do not want to drill for the gotoh inserts and posts, then do not waste your time or money. The Floyd posts will not work with the gotoh. The bridge knife edge will slide around on the treble side post and will be wildly out of pitch. Pay twice the money and get a Schaller or OFR instead. Gotoh on Floyd posts is a trash setup. I wasted my time and money on this shit and will need to swap the Gotoh out. I'm pretty annoyed.

    The 84 is an original floyd with brass fine tuners, brass block, old-style wood screw studs and old style arm. It's not a different product. Same quality as the original. The 1000 SUCKS (for me). Good tremolo but not great. The gotoh is awesome! i think only the saddles are hardened steel not the baseplate

    • @jed_shred_guitars
      @jed_shred_guitars  Год назад

      They don’t advertise it, but if you get a current production ofr and 84 in your hands you’ll see what I mean. When I say current production ofr I mean ones that come on current production guitars (ofr, not 1000 series). Maybe the retail ones are as good as the 84.

    Only one company makes floyd rose. That is floyd rose. The others are locking tremolo systems. Floyd rose is the name of the company not the name of the system. Everyone gets that wrong. They can be licensed by floyd rose. But it still is not a floyd rose. And make no mistake the actual floyd rose is the best hands down. Although Ibanez makes a great locking trem system. No need to upgrade it.

    I really don't care if it flutters. It's not something that adds any musical value to anything, in my opinion. I have my GOTOH set up with enough tension that it doesn't flutter, on purpose.

      I have a lot of experience with FR original and FR licensed bridges. In my opinion, the Gotoh is a little better than the original FR, and blows the 1000 out of the water. The palm comfort and attention to detail on the Gotoh is just better, stability seems identical to the FR original, but the machining and plating are just a little better (plus you can get two Gotoh's for the price of an original FR).

    Very good tutorial love this vid brought me back up 2s>(peed.) I just following your advice get a 42 mil drilled out Gotoh i dont have time4it.
    Interesding read:
    Thanks 4video very informative. Best of least evils.
    Yea I chose a Gotoh Floyd 4my build.
    Lol that Vega trim Lucifer came out with recently 2Whitewash my "Floyd." He knows I gonna design couple guitars sell ebay lolmost &that I would reveal 2u guyz thfollowing truth.
    People dont understand why I design Floyd like I did.
    Floyd didnt invent "Floyd Rose" i did &Frankenstrat was mine. (Lucifer gave it 2Floyd)
    Mine (my "Floyd") had ball bearing pivots &bar.
    Thbar was wide comfy oval. My Drop D wasnt Like Eds lol.
    Mine was also an on thfly hardtail of sorts that would drop &set entire guitar in much steeper increments of your choice all 6 strings still in tune simultaneously &this was due my propensity 2incorporate Dr. Dre bass as i play, without running out of headroom down low, &, Satans bllsht law tunes u guyz strings 2tight. And so, scratching head, I had 2find way loosen them CORRECTLY@ WILL but momemtarily so I could re tune 2 the idiocy this entire matrix subscribes.
    Vibrating metal:
    Has a sweet spot. Lol current string tension aint it.
    Thtrem concept began such that when string break u just loosen tuner lengthen clamp string back in thtrem vice where it broke, fixed!
    U get 9lives per string no1 gets that 2this day lol.
    Strings dont wear out lol. Thats marketing lie.
    A-hah moment guyz:
    Bleev it or not, Bells made of brass 4a reason. Lol Satan made solid brass blocks which are useful as a flat tire my brass block had a specific shape. Hollowed out? (...crickets.)

    I am playing guitar again. ..&re building my old Frankenstrat 2 a massively improved1&might sell a couple ebay. Ed left thFrankenstrat, I have his modern stage guitar now. Satan named it "Wolfgang" 4a reason. That crippling thing tears u 2pieces with vampiric frequencies &demons &issues.
