Seen one of these before? Late 70's Floyd Rose

I have a late 70's/early 80's strat that could use this, although it looks kind of clunky in a typical 70's/early 80's way

My local guitar store carried them back in the 80s. I would avoid it.

What guitar store in Michigan? I bought one in the 80s from Bay Music. Only one I've ever seen. Not a good tremolo in my opinion. Nice having the fine tuners but it didn't stay in tune and the saddles moved around if you tried to dive bomb the tremolo. I think i paid $80 with locking nut back then.

Hell ya! Bay music. Keith Schlott was the manager. Good bud of mine. But man that bridge was horrible

I am the one that pushed Keith into the gym. I was working at dynamic health club in the late 80s. Gave him a free month membership and he was hooked. We became good friends since I lived at the music store.

I bought a few Kramers in that store. Mark Roggman sold me some of his gear, he was the guitar tech. Brian was the keyboard tech, he has had some health issues lately. I think they had a benefit show for him recently.

 

[Mailman1971]

Last time I saw Keith he was working at Firestone tires.
Only talked to him a few minutes.

 

[zoom club]

Yeah, those came out later.

The first ones I saw didn't have fine tuners.

 

[PBGas]

That almost looks like the Rockinger unit. Jesus....the nightmares that system gave me. Awful! The strings would unwind at the ball ends and frequently snap right on the rollers after 5 minutes of playing.

When I got my Eddie VH ernie ball #151 I took it in and keith played it for like the whole day on a 5150 cause he said this amp and guitar where paired together so he wanted to see if the guitar made a difference or vise versa. They always had a couple kramers that I wanted to buy but never did.

Dynamic Health club....ha! Oh the old days!

 

[Mailman1971]

I got my first Kramer there. Focus. Great guitar. When the Vandenberg model came out I ordered a red one. Now that was a killer guitar. Plus Bay Music was the only ESP dealer back in the 80s. Good times.
