Floyd Rose on EBMM Axis

[hendrix_stl]

I am a newby to Axis. Anyone here can tell me about the floyd rose on Axis guitar?
Is there any difference of it comparing the floyd rose on a Ibanz 7V, can it rise the tune and low the tune?

The Axis Floyd is a high quality licensed Floyd. It rests flat on the surface of the guitar so you cannot pull up on it.

I'm sorry, I can't compare it to the Ibenez you speak of.

I played Jems for years, and I can tell you that the Music Man Gotoh-manufactured Floyd is different from the Lo Pro Edge trem found on most Jems. I always liked the ergonomics of the Lo Pro because it is a very long, low trem that sits well under your palm and is very well balanced. But the sleek, extended body of the Lo Pro Edge is made from poured steel with hard, folded steel blades or knife edges installed into the trem. The Music Man Floyd is more like an "original" Floyd Rose, with a hardened steel "base" that incorporates the knife edges into the actual baseplate. It's smaller, and probably lighter than the Edge (I think a lot of the Edge's smoothness is due to it's substantial mass), but it's very well built, and has a nice balance. I like the trem arm on the Music Man Floyd much better than the arm on the Lo Pro - it can be set to hold position so that it's in easy reach, but still has some play so you can palm it while riffing - with the Lo Pro, either it's loose and floppy and you're reaching for it all the time, or it's tight and where you want it, but if you breathe on it funny you get flutter... of course, the EBMM Floyd is set for down-tuning only from the factory, where the Ibanez Edge is designed to float.
