## Overview

The Floyd Rose FRX Tremolo System is a surface-mount, direct-replacement tremolo bridge designed for Les Paul, SG, and Flying V-style guitars. It installs easily using existing Tune-O-Matic mounting studs without routing, features a locking nut that mounts behind the guitar’s nut, and offers adjustable spring tension and tremolo travel for precise tuning stability and playability. Crafted from stainless steel with a sleek black finish, it delivers Floyd Rose’s signature performance with simplified setup and maintenance.

## Description

Floyd Rose continues its legacy of innovation with the brand new surface-mounting FRX Tremolo System for Les Paul, SG, and Flying V-style guitars. The FRX is a direct swap for the Tune-O-Matic and stopbar type bridge system, using the existing mounting stud holes and requiring no routing whatsoever. The locking nut mounts behind your guitar's existing nut, in place of the truss rod cover. The FRX locking nut has mounting holes on the left and right; only two wood screws have to be installed to mount the nut.

Review: Better than expected. Should of bought sooner - I fitted this to an epiphone prophecy extura, was not sure if it would even work not being a gibson or a les paul style. Wasn't really sure how it worked as there's not a lot of info on them. This will fit on ANY guitar with a stop tail piece. Only the rear stop tail posts are what the bridge mounts to. They supply both metric and standard posts. The front posts get removed completely and left empty. The front rests directly on the guitar body and has adjustable posts to level the bridge and set the action. Small sticker pads are supplied for the posts to rest on to avoid contact with the hardware and body. Setting the action low was not an issue on mine since it's flat and not a carved top like a les paul. I still have 3/8" of room under the bridge with relatively low action. With a carved top the bar connected to the spring is the lowest part of the bridge and might contact the body with low action. The rear mounting holes are slotted to slide the bridge forward and backwards during set up to dial in the intonation perfectly. Set up was easy but took about and hour or so. The instructions were a little vague but gives you enough to understand the concept. If you've ever set up a regular floyd rose it's very similar but a lot simpler to dial in. The spring tension to balance the bridge is just 1 screw at the rear. There's a thumb screw that acts as a block to make it a dive only and to make string chances a breeze. There's a round head plastic screw that rides along the side of the bridge while operating the trem that engages into a notch so the bridge kinda locks in at zero to help with tuning stability. There's a small "click" when it disengages and engages as you use the trem. You can remove it and have a true full floating bridge. The tremolo bar swivel tension is set like the new style floyd rose with a plastic bushing and a set screw. I set up the bridge first and made sure everything worked how I wanted and was sure I liked how it felt and played before mounting the nut. It was surprisingly pretty solid tuning stability without the locking nut as I was reluctant to put small screw holes into the head stock. How it feels to play, it does feel like it moves your picking hand a little farther forward than the original tune o magic bridge. There's not sharp edges everything is rounded nicely. Dives just as far as a regular floyd, it does have a smaller range when pulling back. The bar feels great, feels like a regular floyd rose maybe a little lighter to push and pull. I would imagine tuning and string gauge would have an impact on how tight the bar feels as the spring tension would be increased with thicker strings or standard vs dropped tunings. Pro: Turn ANY tune o matic/ stop tail bridge into a full floating bridge. easier to adjust, easier string changes, easier tuning changes, Everything is accessible from the top of the guitar. Trem blocker for dive only, Return to zero screw option, Looks absolutely insane Cons: Looks absolutely insane Weight (if that matters to you) Have to drill small holes in the head stock if you want double locking. Cant pull back as far as a regular floyd rose. Price.( for the price you could probably buy a decent used guitar with a floyd rose)
Review: Floyd Rose FRX ROCKS! - I installed the Floyd Rose FRX tremolo unit on my black Gibson Les Paul Studio. It looks awesome (see pics). The unit is fairly easy to install if you read through the instructions and also watch Floyd Rose's installation video online. I had no problem after watching the video installation. Just remember to remove the centering screw (round head) if you don't think you'll use it. I saw no need for it and I thought it created a light clicking sound on the video. Some folks like a centering device on a Floyd Rose - I don't. This FRX has a great travel range (if not the full total range of a standard Floyd Rose, but close). It has plenty of spring tension for sensitivity to light taps on the bar. However, the unit's travel is easier than a standard Floyd. He says this is by design, as some have complained about how tight his standard Floyds are. I like the lighter spring tension. Easier to whammy on, but same effect and feel as a Original Floyd Rose (of which I own several). I am totally pleased with the unit and the packaging - full retail packaging with all required parts, hardware, allen wrenches and a full set of instructions. Fit and finish is excellent. I didn't even have to adjust the innotation! Better padding in the box than in the Original Floyd Rose packaging (no padding there). I am installing a black tusq nut from GraphTech to go with my locking tuners. I will not be installing the upper locking nut that is provided. My locking tuners and a slick nut will do just fine and still allow me to use the main tuners anytime. This thing is a winner. I have wanted a Floyd on my Les Paul for years. Now I have it quick easy and fully functional - no down side!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pricey but looks fantastic.
*by C***S on November 30, 2023*

Seems like another great product form Floyd Rose. A bit expensive for a tremolo system and the work needed to set it up but is a great alternative to routing your ax out and potentially causing unwanted damage. All I have to say is do not trust the guitar manufacturer to have located the tail pins precisely where you need them. I was lucky and got mine pretty close. If I were to install this FRX on a cheaper guitar then I would definitely need to fill the old pin holes and drill new ones to keep the scale correct and be able to intonate the instrument. This design was obviously blueprinted around a higher quality Gibson Les Paul or SG. Overall I love it and love the looks of it.
