The Schaller Floyd Rose is identical to a regular Floyd Rose in every way that matters. Schaller makes (or used to make) Floyd Rose trems for Floyd Rose. The only real difference is that Schaller trems use shorter string lock screws which makes a more compact trem, so the body routs for them...

From what you describe, I think you'll enjoy a brass block - a much 'mellower' metal IMO compared to the usual suspects.  I love mine. You might also want to try a different set of tremolo springs, I have a set of these and love them - they're made from a softer, but more robust spring metal...

In a similar vein... I spec'd an ebony fretboard for my neck, when I got it - it had all these light colored streaks through the wood. I was kind of pissed because I was expecting a deep, uniform black. At first I even looked into getting black dye so I could dye it a solid black. But then a...

Awwwww. You had me right up until the 3rd bullet point. I suppose we musn't make the Fender Custom Shop nervous... As far as an interesting story: I even had the artwork I created for my guitar stolen by the Royal Airforce Museum in England! A-Z build thread...

Just pullin' your leg, its not my cup o' tea to say the least. Congrats on your purchase though, I look forward to seeing completed pics. Maybe you'll finally use those springs...? :icon_thumright:

I also have to vote for brass. In my personal experience nothing beats a quality bell brass block mated with these: http://www.rawvintage.com/eng/item_springs.php You want killer tone and sustain, pair those two and rejoice. ORC

I'm always a sucker for candy colors, red especially, and I love the Khaler trem. But I can't in good conscience vote for a tele! Gotta go with Kuro's April shredder. Good luck everyone regardless, awesome guitars all around. :rock-on:
