The great Floyd Rose Big-Block Shootout.

[GAR]

I can't believe the size of those string clamps - they are fucking MASSIVE.

What's odd here, is = titanium is half the weight of steel or something? But these things are twice the size of the original things.. what thee fwokk is up with that?

I thought we were on about weight savings here and clearly now that I see this thing up close that's not the case at all. In fact, you add weight with that stupid big brass block, of which reason I dont get at all.

The round inserts hold the string better than the original type. And you can crank them down harder because they're Ti...

I dont get at all.

Much like a neutered dog...

[GAR]

I like the round inserts dont get me wrong, but they're huge logs.

Have you ever weighed the original vs your Frankenstein concoction of a bridge in a weight comparison yet?

The socalled lite Ti bridge doesn't appear so lite at all now that I see it.

He's less of a machinist that I thought.. my idea was to make the bridge lighter and clearly this was not the case: the idea here was to make a big fucking chunk of metal you could really really crank down a little defenseless 4mm Allen wrench down onto with your hamfisted dainties and not break the clamp lock.

No wonder Floyd came up with a Ti version.. this guy couldn't do it correctly which would be to make the blocks at least original size or smaller.

The whole "smaller / lighter / faster resonance" concept seems lost on this fella. Good luck to him with that.

Why don't you fucking leave your goddam cardboard box under the 405 and go tell Floyd how to fucking make his fucking products, Mr. Expert!

[GAR]

Adam doesn't work for Floyd.

Try to follow the topic?

[Hardrock69]

Pot calling the kettle black?

This thread was not about what YOU would do when manufacturing ANY kind of guitar parts, loser.

So go find Adam and tell him he is making it wrong, then go back to blowing your crusty old wino/junkie friends under the 405.

[Diamondjimi]

Has anyone EVER asked GARfail what he thinks, or asked him for his opinion???

Narcissistic, vertically challenged, balding Trolls should keep their suckholes shut, unless asked otherwise!

Adam would probably do the sensible thing and put his cigarette out in GAR's eye and tell him to go fuck himself....

I know I would!

[jhale667]

Amazing how the most uninformed poster in this forum runs his mouth the most...but it sure is funny to watch him dig himself a hole...

He's less of a machinist that I thought..

You're not paid to think. Next!

my idea was

Nothing anyone cared about. Next!~

"Couldn't do it correctly"? You're a moron. Smaller?? Can you just STFU already?

The whole "smaller / lighter / faster resonance" concept seems lost on this fella.

And EVH, and Warren Demartini, and Steve Stevens et al...do yourself a favor: QUIT while you're behind.

Good luck to him with that.

Yeah, he's doing just fine, obviously.

Adam doesn't work for Floyd.

He did for years, oh ye of minimal knowledge and challenged intellect. That's where he was when I originally met him.

Funny how he didn't ask YOU to test his forthcoming prototypes, there Mr. Ideas...oopsie, I got that call (and honor)...sucks to be you!

[Blackflag]

It's no different J. (BF's opinion on tailpieces)...

Some people can only drive automatic cars, and some can drive standard and automatic...

I used to say only women drove automatics. I guess it's women and Canadians.

[Diamondjimi]

And only a jackass would talk smack about the greatest innovation for the guitar since the invention of the tune o matic bridge.

[Blackflag]

Go drive your automatic transmission, pussy. Let me guess - Hyundai?

Exactly, exactly....trolling this thread says ONE thing:

I ♥ cock!!!

We know. STFU.

[Blackflag]

You're projecting again.

Hale is just pissed because he drives a Hyundai.

Sorry Bitch. I drive green!
