New Floyd Rose FRX Retrofitting Tremolo Instructions

Years in the making, the Floyd Rose FRX Tremolo System has finally been approved and manufactured! This is the official instructional video, where Floyd himself guides you through the installation and possible set-up variations of this revolutionary system. The FRX is designed to retrofit Gibson-style guitars, and comes with both standard and metric posts to retrofit both Gibson and Epiphone guitars, along with many other guitar brands that utilize the Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece combo. The bridge can be easily set up blocked (EVH style), fully floating and a new variation called “assisted floating” for better tuning stability than ever before on a floating Floyd Rose system. No routing is required, only two small wood screws are necessary to mount the FRX locking nut behind your guitar’s existing nut!

A tutorial created by the creator- It doesn't get any better than this. I crave as much information on any given subject or procedure as I can possibly get, and this video certainly delivers. Outstanding Mr. Rose. This cemented my decision to buy one of these for my next build.

I LOVE that you went to the tuning peg after you'd set the clamp.
You are human ;)

I found it funny when he said "Hi, i'm Floyd Rose". I mean, i'm so used to hear "I have Floyd Rose on my guitar" my whole live that it's weird to actually hear guy come up and say "I'm [the] FR".

I had the surface mount Floyd trem that was made in the 80s on my Les Paul. I really hope these are made far better than those. They sounded like a tin can and broke within a month with light use. I've always been a Floyd fan otherwise. The F.R. trem was one of the single greatest contributions and innovations to the instrument ever. It changed entire genres of rock playing. Thanks you for all of that.

This guy reminds me of that teacher that starts tellin' a story and before you know it, school's over, you're single again and the police are looking for you in 5 different states

Legend. I am certain he doesn't need the $ but still inventing and giving online tutorials. I think he should post videos of his EVH stories. This is a truly awesome invention. I love a floyd just for tuning stability. My music room is humidity controlled so I can tune a guitar, lock my floyd, pick up a month later and still in tune.

11:50 ! Even the CREATOR of these damn bridges forgets to use the fine tuners

[UnfluffyGaming]

Huh, I was considering finding a floating trem for my SG just a few hours ago with a friend. This may be a sign. Good job Mr Rose.

The man the myth himself! The EVH family and many more owe you a debt of gratitude sir!

[AndyLifeInVideo]

Really surprised that something like this didn't come out sooner! Brilliant idea, FR!!

I’m obviously late to the game but man I sure dig the FRX. The stability and the looks are off the charts.
Thanks Mr. Rose for the design.

Had to laugh at 11:45 when Floyd himself started to tune with the headstock tuners...LOL.... I expect that from 'non-Floyd' players but caught me by surprise on this video...

[fudzrqt]

Hell Yes I just bought a new Gibson SG and I just seen this so I ordered it I can't wait to put it on my new guitar I am so Stoked I always wanted a SG with a Floyd👍 God Bless Floyd Rose 👍🇺🇲😎

It's like being lectured on General Relativity from Einstein himself

[ctgblue]

I love the 'it's a problem if you drill through the head stock." I'm guessing there are people who don't wrap a piece of tape around the drill bit to guide the depth, but they probably aren't trying to install one of these on a $1000+ guitar. You usually only do that once...

[bretolson]

Thank you for personally creating this tutorial. I’m going to consider this for upcoming builds (and one of my own guitars first :) . You truly care about your products, that is evident.

I finished my build on a LTD Viper-400 and installed the FRX and this trem is the BEST tremolo system I have ever played, I had to tweek some adjustments and just use it for diving and this is incredibly smooth, with a quick allen wrench adjustment you can control the tension on the downward force, I just sold my Epiphone with a regular trem and this is a keeper, by far the very best trem I have ever played, thanks Mr. Rose.

13:05 He has already accidentally gouged a small hole through the paint with the allen wrench.

Will this work on a hello kitty acoustic guitar?

11'53", Floyd Rose himself reaches for a headstock tuner after the nut is locked. Glad to see we all do this from time to time, even the inventor :) Looks like a great product though, very tempted to drop the money and try one.
