Even if its a hardened steel plate never under tension adjust brodge height. You will ruin the knifes edges.

Gotoh 1996t is a great upgrade!🤘🤘🤘

Stringing it with the ball end on the string is moot when you have locking tuners. Clip it off, lock the string into the bridge first, pull it through the tuner, just hand tight, lock the tuner, clip the excess, tune it up. No string wraps at all with locking tuners, it defeats the purpose. Love Gotoh trems though

I got one of these a while back and it's night and day better than the licenced bridge it replaced. I bought one for my brother to replace his floyd rose special as well

I do not own any Gotoh Floyds but they are top notch 👍🏼

Right on Joe! Keep rockin!

The arm tightens when rotated then use the grub screw.

The Wolfgang Standard has the Floyd Rose Special and the Special has the Floyd 1000.

I agree with most of what you said,but you should adjust the action WITHOUT fretting. Apart from that ,great video!👍

I bought one for my Kramer Baretta Special, works beautifully 👍 very high quality and butter smooth.

Use GOTOH since decades: The best Floyd Rose ever!

Will be installing a gotoh as soon as it arrives

I’ve been playing since the mid 90s and I had never had locking tuners on anything until I bought a Baretta special and wanted to upgrade the tuners so I bought a set of gotoh locking tuners and man I wonder why I didn’t get locking tuners sooner, my main guitar is a 95 ish RG550 with the edge lo pro (fantastic trem made by gotoh I think) and now I can’t wait to get a set of cosmo black for my RG . I think I’m going to get a 1996t for my Baretta special, I got it intending to mod it but was going to try to get it to stay in tune with the vintage style bridge, I’ve come to the conclusion that headstock is going to have tuning problems unless they are locked down at the nut . The RG is floating of course and I guess I need a decked trem on at least one guitar.

Gotoh is amazing I have it on my jem and I abuse the hell out of it and still stays in tune Floyd rose special sucks but the original and 1000 are good don’t have any but heard many good things

I have a couple of Wolfgang standards I have a charvel san dimas and evh frankie not the most expensive one though, I've put 37mm floyd rose fat blocks in all those guitars I can tell a difference in sustain and I think they are brighter sounding to me as well , I leave that space off between the floyd and block though I think that's a tone sucker myself , but yeah I think the block mods work

Nice video, Did my ears decieve me I heard a little bit of Doobie Brothers.

What are the advantages of having a Floyd Rose system?

I’m thinking of replacing the Floyd Special in my main guitars with this system. Will it fit directly into the cavity?

So i bought a junk knockoff with the branding on it. Ill assume mine should have had the Japan labeling as well but mine didnt.

Hello Joe, I just ordered this Gotoh floyd, for my Ibanez Jr. Is this a good starting point on the Goyoh for my guitar too ?
