zenmindbeginner Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I post again a clear(ish) photo of a Schaller Floyd-Rose II identical to a Hamer version. Please do look at the photo closely - I see that the FRII you are talking about is a more recent incarnation than the 1990 version I am talking about; I don't doubt that now they have dropped the II from this model but in 1990 that is what is was called. FRII in the 20th century is not the same as FRII in the 21st. All you are really saying is that I shouldn't call it a FRII even though that is what it says on the top? But that is what it is, a 1990 FRII. The earlier, original Floyd that Hamer used until 1989 was a little different, thinner baseplate, different arm attachment, different string-clamp screws, bigger hex-key needed for the posts' adjustment. What they are now calling OFR isn't, it is in fact the later version (FRII in 1990). I don't think you are being obtuse, I just think you haven't seen an old Floyd-Rose II before so I understand why you are sticking to your guns. I have tried not to be abrasive this time as I am sure that didn't help before. Could others please chime in to end this? I think I maybe subtly or not so subtly admitted that I just object to the usage of the term FRII... just due to the bad rep that the name has. I don't think you need to call people in to chime in to end this... more of your smug nature I guess.

Sure, I'll chime in, but I don't think it will end anything What I see in your picture is a Made in Germany by Schaller Hamer Floyd Rose bridge and a Made in Germany by Schaller Floyd Rose II bridge. And they look the same to me. If that was the point you were trying to make, well, point made. As far as I'm concerned. - Austin

I think I had the smugness coming to me 'cause I was a dick to someone in the last few days... Andrew was just dishing out my Instant Karma. You did a good deed Andrew despite my protestations. I feel better.
