Wow, that's nice!!!

[BubbaVO]

Nice top on that one.

Is it chambered? If so, what does that coupled with the routing for the Floyd end up doing to the tone?

[LordOfTheThighs]

Looks a lot like Murkat's. Awesome top on it.

Could be the same one, and even cheaper now!

[Devnor]

Looks like a HFC owned Standard.

[Armitage]

Was that factory? It looks killer.

Judging by the slightly off center look of the Floyd, I'd think it was routed for a Schaller (cast body) Floyd and had the longer Floyd Rose Original swapped in later.

More than likely, the guitar was rotated slightly when the photos were taken (being able to see the top edge of the body and not the bottom being the biggest clue).

Yes, it's factory and $2000 is a steal.

I'm just going by this photo. It sits off to the right like a Floyd Rose Original does in a Schaller route and there isn't any routing for the long screws on the bottom, (the Schaller uses shorter screws).

It appears to set off to the right because the guitar is rotated.

that photo is just a closeup of this photo - same angle and position.

I'd hit it...two times

These links seem to bolster Armitage's argument that the bridge has been replaced:

Inlays are off center too.

Don't confuse the issue with the facts.

Clearly, my knowledge of Floyds (genuine and otherwise) is not up to par.

I will rotate myself out of this thread now...

...slithering away....

I love The Standards and the top on this one is gorgeous, but for some reason a Floyd on a Standard doesn't fit for me aesthetically.

Is it comfortable to play with a Floyd?

Also, is tapping pretty easy and comfortable on a Standard?

[Armitage]

I've never played a Floyded Standard, and I'm not much of a tapper, but my Standards all have really thin frets and don't really do the Hammer/Anvil thing as well for me as larger frets do. I'm sure more skilled tappers could respond better though.

[murkat]

yup, that is my ole' custom ordered standard. That did not last long.... interesting.......

[bmenary]

Bet that rocks.....

[murkat]

Bet that rocks.....

yep, sure did.....
