𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗟 𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟:
The Rail Tail Tremolo is a full-contact, dive-only tremolo designed to retrofit your existing Strat® -style 6-point tremolo with no modifications to your guitar; a clever design merging the feel and reliability of a hardtail bridge with the flexibility of a tremolo system. Computer designed and precision-machined, the Rail Tail achieves maximum performance and stunning appearance without compromising comfort or feel. Its unique features allow for adjustability to fit a variety of guitar bodies and for an easy DIY installation.

Unlike the original tremolo design that rocks on a bevel located under the screw heads, the Rail Tail tremolo plate rotates around a precision rail that is mounted directly to the guitar body. The plate cradles the entire rail with precision as if they were one unit improving sound quality and tuning stability.

This union also creates a greater breakpoint allowing open strings to maintain pitch when bending another, much like a hardtail. The tremolo plate consists of slotted string block mounting holes not only for accommodating installation but also allowing the string block to be positioned forward for greater rotational range. This means diving up to 15 degrees more than conventional tremolo bridges.

An advanced string block also consists of game-changing features: Mid-positioned tapered string holes assist in true string saddle contact. Working in alliance with the rail and string block are the roller fitted string saddles. This entire assembly provides ultimate vibrational energy transfer from the strings to the guitar body resulting in better overall sustain and tonal qualities.

E to E string spacing available in Narrow spacing 2 1/16" (52mm) and Wide spacing 2 7/32" (56mm)

►𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: The Rail mounting holes are universal meaning that a narrow spaced Rail Tail will fit onto a wide-spaced guitar body and vice versa◄ (For optimum performance, playing experience, and reliability, it’s highly recommended that the guitar this unit is being installed on, is equipped with locking tuners and a quality nut.)

*P.S. The song is "Steel The Light" by Q5 featuring Floyd Rose on guitar!

Nice inclusion of Floyd's old band Q5 for the backing track - Those guys are awesome!

[ruassmarkt]

FINALLY an innovation in this whole mess of a vibrato system!

[northvanheli]

I love this!!! I am all over this the moment it ships!! Well done Floyd Rose!!

I very much enjoyed how this video was like a mad scientist trying to promote his new and definitely not dangerous security robots to potential investors.

[CRaul]

Love the design, both in aesthetics and engineering!

[Dothreban]

Just ordered one for my strat this weekend. 💪

[johnmallios]

I have this unit on my strat and I just want to set your expectations. It does sound and sustain better than your standard strat tremelo. You need to tighten the springs as much as you can so that it always cocks all the way back. It does not handle pinch harmonic dive bombs nearly as well as a Floyd rose because the nut isn't locked. It cannot do the Eddie Van Halen things if you know what I mean. It is easy to install, but it is expensive.

I love mine as It has so many innovations that are actually useful, my favorite being the adjustable block which can increase the "throw" of your Trem. Like my latest Gotoh, their block also has a better break angle by having the ball end connect higher up in the block. I'm glad I got mine early though, I do NOT like "roller" saddles, and I hear the latest production run has switched over to these. I have had bad issues with roller saddles previously, but maybe FR has licked the "contact" issue.

It's all about the tranference of energy, giving you full-bodied tone.

[GladRags]

The music is the best part of this video

[StephenAvery]

Pretty cool. Maybe not different enough to replace a good strat-style trem, but definitely an option for one already replacing a bridge or building a new guitar.

[roderickpatterson]

In my 30+ years playing floyds, kahlers, etc the Ibanez Edge & Edge Lo Pros take the most abuse. Ever seen Vai? NO ONE goes as wild as Vai! He even picks the GTR off the ground & shakes it, only holding the bar!!! UFR!

[KushellKarki]

One of best ever created
I know is basic best but this new one is beast 😁

[jazzbutcherroxx]

Absolutely great! Floyd Rose is a genius. Hope it get's my richie kotzen strat in tune:)

[urgx]

This is great but why make it Dive Only? One of the best things about the modern two-point Strat tremolos is you can actually do flutters on them and go up if you want to. You guys should really release a ball bearing based tremolo -- The Vigier system is amazing...And so is the Ibanez SynchroniZR and the ZR2.0...Those are the best trem designs in the world IMHO...Knife edges are never going to be as good as sealed permanently lubricated bearings.

[MixDK]

Got one of these, it looks good ets but today i wanted to put on new strings
and i cant get 3 of the old strings out they are stuck inside the tremolo.
Its way to tight, i use 0.1 strings. I think Floyd rose should look into this problem.

[thenewmeister]

Actually it looks identical in every way to the Boogie Rail unit. I have 3 of them on different guitars and they are really cool. I loved that they were relatively inexpensive and came in many colors. I know the Boogie Rail guys sold the design idea which is why they are out of production so I guess Floyd Rose bought it up and is marketing it. I paid $35 a piece for them so who knows what they are going for...

[JonManProductions]

...Question, does this unit have anything to do with the Boogie-Rail tremolo unit that was being sold a few years ago? I was lucky to receive one to test on one of my guitars (this was back in 2011-2012) and it was a great concept, but that original unit was rather un-refined in terms of look and required the use of the original tremolo's block and saddles. But yeah, I WANT THIS ON MY PRS SE. When will it be available?

[jasonbaines]

Does the rail tail change the tone of a strat that much? If I deck the fender trem would it be similar? I’ve heard rail tail is worth it cuz it makes strats sound more stratie

[tomsutton]

What's the string spacing on this : 2 1/16 or 2 3/16?
