Is their a Floyd that will.....

[Progdude]

Is their a Floyd Rose that has a Lo Profile (meaning that the fine tuners are set lower so they dont get in the way of your picking hand.) For my EBMM Axis? I love the Gotoh floyd but Id rather a lo pro style trem that I could retro fit in the cavity.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

I am no expert here, but I think it has to be back routed for the lo-pro to work.

I guess that would be cool but costly maybe? Anyone else?

Yes ........Ibanez developed and continue to develop and own the name Edge Lo Pro for that very reason.

 

[Progdude]

would it "fit" though? Would the posts rest in the right places?

 

[Knox]

No idea.....the EBMM floyd is far superior though IMO and I used Ibanez for years.....I'm would even go so far as to say that the Petrucci/Luke trem system does an even better job with less hassle/maintenance!

100% agree Knox, EBMM trem outdoes the Ibanez floyd any day.

I know its great! But I dont like how the fine tuners stuck up. Id like them more like the Ibanezs Lo Pro.

 

[Knox]

Why? Are you solely into palm muting and sweep picking etc? Many fine guitarists can manage the same technique with an OEM Floyd or licensed version like the EBMM on the Axis......unless you have come from an Ibanez background then fair enough but try some diversity and you might be surprised!

I can sweep fine on it, its actually tremelo picking that it gets in the way of. I cant go balls out with elbow picking, Im fine 100% with wrist picking though.

Floyd makes their own lo pro.

REALLY! Were can I find one? And will it fit into the cavity without any routing?

It's called the Floyd Rose pro, I'm not sure if it will fit your existing posts though.
