Good to see a Stealth getting some love. Great guitar!!!! Have one in the red wood grain ash. Congrats finding one in the stone finish. Just found your channel and already sold on it. Great content and looks like a definite Jackson fan. Love it. Keep it coming .
@@bvanhoosen right. Always looking for the 92-93 Dinky Reverse professional stone finish with maple neck. Should have never sold mine years ago. Still regret it!!!!!!!!!!!
schaller will sell a new coupling kit for the lockmeister... which is supposedly the same as an OFR, but doublecheck dimensions. I have that couplingkit retrofit to my pre-2016 lockmeister, can recommend.
owning one I guarantee that the Lockmeister is identical to the OFR dimensions and specs : which makes sense because Schaller also makes their own take on the FR design, and it's called The schaller tremolo. It has the same dimensions but it uses different locking screws system, a thicker baseplate and replaceable knife edges. But both are 100% compatible with an OFR cavity and posts.
The Japanese Gotoh 1996t is on par with the German floyd but has a superior push in bar design over the collar type....I will still take an edge, edge pro, or Lo-Pro Edge over an OFR any day of the week
I have an original 1984, OFR 1000, and prefer the Ibanez Edge Pro on a J-Custom and love it. I haven’t tried the FU Tone take on the OFR but I have heard good things.
@@GuitarDudeOfficial what you’re hearing is a bunch of parrots 🦜 who don’t know what it’s made of making up their own specs because Gotoh doesn’t list anything about materials and construction except that it has specially processed steel saddle. Problem with that is, the only part of the saddle that is steel is where the string lock screw goes in to connect with the string lock block, the foot as I call it , where the saddle screw holds it down to the baseplate, that’s ZINC! I also suspect the baseplate is not hardened steel though and though and only SPOT HARDENED at the knife edges as Gotoh makes no claims of hardened steel on their website. Thus avoiding falsely advertised products. It’s not a fraction of the cost for nothing, you get what you pay for so I’ll just stick with my OFRs and 1000 series.
Would any of the Floyd Rose models be an easy replacement for the Schaller? I have a ‘91 Charvel fusion Custom that I’m trying to refurbish, it has a Charvel branded tremolo made by Schaller, but as someone has already mentioned, the steel intonation screws eventually chew up the thread in the die cast baseplate making setup impossible, I would like to replace it with a Floyd Rose that has a steel baseplate so I can experiment with string gauge and not damage the plate while loosing and tightening the screws to set intonation
Easiest one to replace it with would be a new version of the OG Schaller trem. Floyd will work, but you need to get the string lock route enlarged so you can intonate properly.
@@bvanhoosen Hi Bryce, I don’t want to modify the body if possible, and I take it you mean the original model Schaller? Really wanted to change it for something with a steel base plate…… Looks like I’ll have to rethink. Thanks again
Yeah, the original Schaller design (wide base, short string lock screws)! Unfortunately it’s just different enough to be difficult to swap for a different model. Not sure why Schaller chose to do that, but it is what it is 😭
@@bvanhoosen probably so that you can only replace it like for like! 🤬 A couple of other people on different forums have suggested trying the short screw kits on eBay or the low profile model, but I’m not convinced! Will need to do more research! But thanks again.
Which trem feels the most responsive? The lightest touch. I can’t stand how stiff and rough my fr1000 7 string feels on my Jackson wr7. I’m using 8-52 in drop G and using two springs. I have been strongly considering buying a ofr 7 string or a schaller lockmiester 7
Schaller makes the German Floyd Rose for Floyd Rose. The original German Floyd Rose Pro has a narrow string spacing .400 which I prefer has been discontinued for the Pro 1000 .420 I wish someone made the .400 inches spacing tremolos. Really want to build a Fu-Tone FU2 trem or upgrade an Original Floyd with Fu-Tone parts.
Oh weird, it has a retainer clip thingy. Floyd’s don’t usually go into the block like that, so I’m not sure that design could work. The push in is the closest they can do I think 😅
the jackson schaller bridge are annoying af. Ive had a Japanese Jackson wherein the intonation holes were stripped and the whammy bar was deformed. I cant understand why they put a zinc and steel combination on those.
In my opinion, yes, a little. It seems to make the tone a bit more airy in the upper (~6k) frequencies. What I like most about it is that it's actually much lighter, so you get less unwanted wobble when hitting big chords.
From my experience, no. You’d have to at least route out the string lock screw area to give yourself enough room to properly intonate, and possibly the posts as well. They’re unfortunately sized completely differently
1000 is made from softer Flow Steel and hardening process is faster than what Schaller does. 1000 was brilliant earlier, i have still few and they're great stuff, no probs, but 2023 i see folks having probs with them. I had to send one ESP Edwards E-SCYTHE back and seller responded they've never seen such wear in a new trem. My friend bought Jackson RR24 with 1000 and same probs, otherwise great axe but Floyd didn't stay in tune,. Always pitch up or down after trem use. Also gotoh springs made some hella noise, had to replace with Schaller springs after getting guitar back. FR1000 used to be great trem, but quality deteriorated somewhere 22-23. Its funny Harley Benton sells gits with FR1000 399€. I believe there are peeps saying 1000 is as good as OFR since 1000 used to be just OK, no probs whatsoever. I believe Korean factory has done some changes to quality, & that is if i believe seller and my own experience. Same dimensions and overall looks off course, official FR-site isn't obviously saying all the details but as we speak, FR1000 isn't as good as OFR. Otherwise OFR would be in cheaper gits
Bent whale tails on the newer 1000 Series seems to be the biggest complaint... including both factory 1000 replacement base plates I got. No more Korean junk for me. Got a Schaller LockMeister and never looking back... even though the German made Schaller has the ever so slightly smaller base plate like the Korean 1000.

cool video would be interested in a weight and a hardness test on the metals, you can get hardness tester file kit at harbor freight for like $13. I'm also interested in how compatable the floyd roses are with the ibanez edge systems i've never measured the post widths and it would be great to upgrade some of my ibanez with floyd or gotoh bridges.
You know Fender and Schaller got together and made the BEST Strat bridge. My 93 deluxe plus Strat has a F Floyd Rose bridge and Fender would put a Hipshot Tremsetter in the case brand new. I installed mine cranked the bridge to whammy up and down 27 yrs ago. Play the crap out of this guitar and have never needed to mess with it again so far. But will need some fret work soon so will set the intonation after then. Amazing set up and no one knows about it. Fender/Floyd Rose.
@@bvanhoosen HM? Is that the black almost Aerodyne looking Strat? I'm not really sure. Good question For real you should check with that guy who's name starts with a Z. He seems to know a lot of fancy Strat history.
Is that the Het set emgs? I have a Jackson soloist from 1991 that I bought in 1991 and had emgs installed when I bought it. I put an 85 in the bridge and two SA's for the singles. I recently just bought another Jackson soloist that came with stock Seymour Duncan that I didn't care for. I also decided to put emgs in as well. However, it is also an HSS setup guitar, and I put an 81 in the bridge and two SA's. Most people love the 81 in the bridge but I found I didn't care for it and swapped it out for an 85 in it sounds darker and heavie. My original 91 soloist professional XL was made in Japan. It came with a Charvel stamped made in Germany by Schaller, Floyd Rose tremolo. The guitar is 33 years old and one of the problems with those bridges is the plate. The intonation screws stripped a couple of years ago. A total bummer! Just replaced it the other day with a lockmeister. As far as I could tell that's the only drop and go for that guitar. It seems like the cavity isn't as long or as wide as they are nowadays, and so it was either that or by a vintage one from somebody else that may or may not already be stripped and that will just end up stripping the intonation screws, so I went with a brand new lockmeister and wow, it performs amazingly! The flutters on it are absolutely out of control now! They used to be weak😂😂 now if I want I can actually sound like it has a low Pro Edge in it LOL. That's what I compare a good tremolo to if it flutters like an edge Lo Pro then we're good
That’s odd! It might be a thread pattern difference. If you switch the base plate coupling piece, I bet you’d get the Special arm to fit the OFR and vice versa
The best one in my opinion is the Schaller Lockmeister - is an improved version of the original floyd which was also built by Schaller back then. Better Materials and harder steel on the Lockmeister.
Ive had no problems with Floyd Specials or older 1000 series they are almost as good as the original to me as I have all of them. The ones I am now having issues with are the newer ones that have the cheap stainless steel parts. The 1500 and 1000se. On the 1000se The arm coupling is terrible and i cant get them to flutter like I can all the others. No matter how loose or tight the arm is it rattles. I am going to try replacing the coupling and arm soon. The 1500 I have on the Loomis SL7 is better with the push in arm but just doesnt feel as good as my older Floyds. Pretty disappointing.
Heard about the Made in Germany stamp, but did not know about the OFR vs 1000 radius! My issues with swapping the nuts suddenly makes a lot more sense!
Everything you said here is on point my guy,and I have a bunch of Floyd rose variations of their tremolos and the original one is by far the most annoying lol I gotta tighten that thing after playing everytime i definitely said screw this no pun intended and ran with with push pull,FYI be careful with Satin Finishes as well because the colors will vary as well lol #BUFFALO #NEWYORK
