Gotoh 510 still going strong in 2026?

Thinking about switching from a floyd to a 510 because I'm not really using tremolo like a maniac anymore. Don't really care for all the extra hassle when changing strings with a floyd.

Has the quality stayed the same over the years or should I consider something else as a replacement?

They are still great. Even the new Suhr bridges are based on them. James Tyler still uses the zinc block ones in their guitars and they are incredible instruments.

Glad to hear it. I guess it's a no brainer atp to go with the Gotoh when it comes to tremolos.
