Good quality Floyd Rose style trem
The trem is stable and good quality and stays in tune. I've had no issues.

Good quality Floyd Rose style trem
Good quality Floyd style trem. I'm not a huge fan of Floyd Rose style trems, but I was repurposing a guitar that was routed for this style tremolo. Great price on these trems. Kind of a pain to set up, but once it's set up, you shouldn't have to mess with it. A couple recomendations to buy for this is the Shredneck TremBlock (to keep tension on springs while you change strings) and RED BISHOP ACCU-LOCATOR to set intonation. Also, a good recomendation is if you're using .8 guage strings, order the Extra Low tension springs for the Vega Trem, if you're using .9's just use two of the included springs that come with the GE-1996T. For .10's I'd say probably use 3 included springs.

Gotoh Trem
Great trem. It wasn’t a direct replacement for the FR Special that was on the Schecter input it on but got it worked out. Philadelphia Luthier has probably the best customer service I have had in a long time.

Well made bridge
My first time using a Gotoh bridge , usually get Floyd rose. It’s very well made and installation was a breeze. I will definitely be getting another in the future.

Amazing Floyd Rose Special replacement!
I bought this to replace a Floyd Rose Special and it was a direct replacement. I had to reuse the block screw because these were a little longer and wouldn't clear the body in the back, but otherwise this has been a flawless Tremelo. It is very stable and smooth.

best floating tremolo
best floating tremolo in the marker, price benefit ther is period, there are better bridges, but for way more moneycent by cent this is the best you can buy, as a proffesional luthier and guitar tech i've installed at least 30 of this and alway performs perfect!

Fantastic Floyd Rose upgrade
For those that have some of the cheaper FR bridges (Special, 1000) in their guitars and are looking for pretty much a drop in upgrade, look no further. This is a fantastic alternative to the Original FR and far, far cheaper. Some things to watch out for: the body inserts are larger than the FR inserts, so if you are going to use them, you will have to drill a larger hole. My suggestion is to buy some OFR inserts and use those. This set does not come with a replacement nut - I suggest using the nut you already have because sizing them properly can be tricky. Highly recommended!

One of the Best tremolo bridges I've ever used
The GOTOH GE-1996T tremolo is one of the best tremolo bridges I've ever used. I have installed in on my LTD M-330RFM with a Floyd Rose Special which always detunes and a pain in the as* to setup. It looks and feels high quality, way better than the FR Special. I haven't used the posts that came with it but it fits well with the stock posts. I might be drilling it in the future so I can fit the posts that came with it. Overall, it is a great tremolo bridge and highly recommended.
