Thinking of coming back to EBMM, please help with new Axis

So a Floyd rose guitar action is adjusted by both the studs and the truss rod. They are meant to be turned. Be playing and taking apart Floyd guitars for 35 years. Once you find the right height you should only need to adjust rod unless you change string gauge or tuning. Here is the deal. Whether there are problems or no problems, the Floyd was designed to be used with sleeves that are pressed and glued in place. Every single other manufacturer in the world does this. Any deviation from this is wrong…period. No maybes, no well it works anyway. It is wrong and a shortcut you would not find on a even $600 guitar with a fake Floyd. This is fact. Not taking away from these beautiful instruments, but this is fact. I’d bet that if some here took all the strings off their guitar, removed the bridge and played with the studs back and forth, they find some movement. You will not feel movement with the bridge under tension per say.

Ahh.. yes you didn't come to stir the pot, just to say that this is WRONG. I guess Leo Fender was wrong when he designed the Strat tremolo to use screws that went directly into the body as well. Just because something is done a different way does not make it WRONG. It's worked well for EBMM for quite some time, and I don't think I have ever heard of the bridge studs in an EBMM guitar tearing out, though I definitely have seen floyd bushings need to be removed and have the holes filled so that new bushing holes can be drilled and bushings installed.

Now you can go back to some other forum where they argue about whether you can adjust the tremolo posts on a floyd under full string tension or not.
