I dunno if you guys heard of these, but I thought they were a MUCH better alternative to buying a dean with a floyd rose on it.
http://www.stetsbar.com
and
http://www.greatmusicproducts.com/
click on "bowen handle"
The latter item seems to have the best price.
[edit] -"Alternative" being that it would help maintain the classic, or original look of your guitar. I wouldn't count out the Floyd rose for performance at all. |

Yes, you are correct, Dan. Carvin used to offer a Kahler trem on their bass line back in the mid 80's. No longer available with that option. I actually had one of these on layaway a couple of years ago, but I let it go back for something else.
