    Do EB make a lefty with a FR?

    Hi there,I currently own an Axis SS hardtail and am now fancying a Floyd-Rose equipped guitar.
    I'm so happy with my first EBMM I thought i'd go with them again.

    Thanks

    no.... it is not an easy thing to find a lefty guitar with a floyd especially the real Floyds.
    The Luke trem is very good though I would recomend you try that...if you HAVE to have a floyd I would say try Warmoth Guitars, they have good prices and you get it to your specs which is rare for us lefties.

    Leftys.

    Hey there.

    To find a good lefty with a FR, I suggest you go to http://www.southpawguitars.com

    They have a certain guitar endorsed by Phil Collen that has a FR on it. I don't recommend this guitar, but it is always an option. There's also a Japanese guitar with 1520 as the model number that comes with a Edge Pro. It's a FR variant.

    Pretty much, if you want to know more, PM me. I really don't want to get in crap saying all this, as I love recommending Music Man guitars. I just feel your pain being a lefty.

    Sorry to all the EBMM fans. I LOVE them too.

    I'm pretty surprised,though I have just started looking and it seems even brands like Ibanez and Jackson have limited leftys,always dull colour options too.

    ^ Just grab another super sport with a trem and float it, or get a luke. Believe me, MM's vintage trem has made me never want to see another floyd again

    That's easy to fix. Buy a righty and add another strap button on the bottom horn. Wallah!!

    ???

    If that's the truth, I'd love to see it.

    Otherwise, say bye-bye to FR notions, and go with a LUKE. They're hot.

    Ok seems as though I don't know as much about bridges as I thought.
    I wanted a guitar with a whammy to do Satriani,EVH type stuff but had heard the types you get on a Strat went out of tune real quick, whereas a FR was rock solid with tuning.
    So do EB do a lefty guitar with a bridge similar to a FR that will stay in tune even if you go mad with the whammy bar?

    Thanks

    the EB trems are FABULOUS! Stay in tune great, nothing like a crappy normal strat trem. Get a Luke or Silhouette Special with trem!

    I buy my balls from the number one EBMM dealer in Australia, the all round nice guy and legendary Colin!His website is www.guitarplanet.com.au Give him a call to order your balls!!!!!

    bro, FR isnt worth the time or trouble searchin for it. we get lucky with what we can pick up when you look at the trouble and money loss the companies go through to pump out a few guitars for us to by.. i got a silo special bout a year and a half ago. the trem on the is kick ass, the best thing to do is just work your eb into a kick ass machine and just become an awsome guitarist with what you can

    I'm quite happy with my non-FR EBMMs. In fact, I would not buy a FR-equiped EBMM even if it was available. The way the vintage trem is setup on my Luke (floating) is just awesome and competely fullfil my trem needs. Plus, it's great to be able to change strings in the blink of an eye

    Good luck in your search
