GOTOH GE-1996T Licensed Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge - Black

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!

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.

The GOTOH GE-1996T bridge fits perfectly as a replacement on a Jackson guitar from the late 80s, it is a good replacement for the Jackson JT6 bridges that were installed on these guitars. I decided not to replace the Studs as the GOTOH is functioning great on the original posts. The Jackson guitar is a non recessed cavity guitar so the 40mm Block is perfect for this Floyd style guitar. Great Quality Product, Highly Recommended. This is a great store for quality parts and fast service. Thanks for the picks, love those too!

I replaced a double locking tremolo in my Ibanez JemJr with this trem. It not only stays in tune better, but sounds and feels better too! Gotoh makes quality parts and I highly recommend this tremolo!

Yep,. Just like gillette razors. This brass block equipped beast has has amazing tuning stability,, sustain, made of STEEL and can take anything you throw at it.......literally! I ditched the floyd on my soloist and put this on. Will never go back to the floyd. Intonates easy, and when you tighten saddle screws.....it's tight. Isn't going to strip out. Didn't think I was going to like the way the bar mounted but it ended up exceeding my expectations by being extremely smooth and noiseless. I will put this against any german made schaller floyd. any day if the week. The only drawback.......depending on the size of the trem cavity, you may need to route it a pinch because the locking saddle post of the low e may not clear depending on the intonation (saddle placement). No other issues.... PERIOD!

It installed perfectly. It really is the best. I've been using FR trems since they came out. Thank you very much!

Bought this for my son's Ibanez RG guitar. You have to cut off the ball end of the string which is the only imperfection in my son's POV. Otherwise it functions perfectly and the price is significantly lower than a Floyd Rose.

Used on a Dean ML to replace the licensed version that no longer held tune. Had to remove a little wood as expected and enlarge the post holes, but the bridge holds solid so far. Seems like great build quality. The only thing that surprised me was the height of the posts and inserts, I’m going to have to trim them shorter to get the action down a little more. Probably the one measurement I didn’t check before ordering

As all other Gotoh parts i use, like the 510 series tremolos and tuning pegs, the Gotoh double locking tremolo is the best I've come across. I also appreciate the more ergonomic details and lower profile that gotoh provides over the blockier "classic" design and the higher quality materials used.
