Floyd Rose FRTS5000 Special Tremolo Black Nickel: Reliable Pitch Control for Guitarists

Engineered for those who demand expressive tremolo effects and stable tuning, the Floyd Rose FRTS5000 Special Tremolo Black Nickel uses the classic double-locking bridge design for broad compatibility with various guitars and musical styles. Many players select this model as an upgrade or for new builds, since the Special Series preserves the core dimensions and feel of the original at a more accessible price point.
