Perfect double locking trem
MagicSideburns 07.02.2025
Well, this is a first time I installed this Gotoh trem, instead of usual OFR, FR1000, or Ibanez plethora of Edges.
It outperforms every mentioned double locking trem, except Schaller Lockmeister. Keep in mind, I am referring to Schaller LOCKMEISTER, with printed logo, not Schaller LOCKING with ingraved logo.
The only downside of this trem is it only comes for 14" radius fretboard guitars, most of mine are 12" or 16" radius fretboards. Schaller Lockmeister on their site can be configured for any nut size, nut radius, and trem radius. I really don't know if Gotoh can adopt that style of sale. But it stays in tune forever, flutters like crazy, dive bombs, pulling up, and still being in tune. Hats off!

A Fantastic FR type Tremolo
Giorgos Anastasopoulos 19.03.2026
This is a classic! Outstanding quality (as you'd expect from a Japan made Gotoh), amazing tuning stability, a direct drop-in for my Jackson Performer from the 90's. There is nothing to complain about, honestly! If you want to transform your guitar into a more premium type of instrument, this is the budget friendly choice with no alternatives. Just make sure it measures correctly to you current FR type tremolo. If you want a locking nut from Gotoh as well, you gotta buy it separately.

If you are interested to upgrade your instrument and you happen to have an HSH pickup layout, I can absolutely recommend buying a PAF Pro for the bridge, Chopper in the middle and Humbucker from hell for the neck. Its an amazingly versatile set that can play anything from metal to jazz. Try it out, and thank me later!

QUALITY

Before the purchase, consider the size of block. 36mm perfectly suits super strat type body. 40mm surely will exceed. Sustain, the feel and the range of dive, flutter are better than FR. Slayer and Pantera fans do not hesitate.

t
best engineered FR style trem out there!
tmaxxuk 01.08.2025
having been a user of Floyd Rose style tremolo systems since the mid 80s, and having worked in music retail, then for Hamer as a rep, I think i know them inside out! this is AS good as, if not better engineered than a German or USA manufactured original unit!
