Damn good bit of kit
I like this better than the original FR. Gotoh makes the Edge trems for Ibanez and they've used lessons learned with the Edge and FR. This is like an FR and Edge and a Gotoh 510 had a baby. All the main parts are good hard steel apart from the brass block. The saddles are nicely contoured. The string locking blocks slide back into a cavity so they don't fall out when you're changing strings. The fine tuners are angled away from your picking hand and have a long range and coarse checkering for good grip. The block has countersunk holes next to the main three springs so they can be locked in place with provided screws. The springs provided are nice and stiff as well. I'm set up with .009-.042 in E standard and I've got two springs on for nice chirps and flutters. The studs have larger bushings so you need to ream out your holes to 11mm wide and a bit deeper. The studs have set screws down the centre to lock them into place once you get your action set. The arm and socket are taken from the 510. It has a sleeve with a set screw for tightening the sleeve. But the end of the arm has a threaded hole so that it also screws in like a strat arm. Absolutely no slop in the arm at all. This is probably the best designed double locking tremolo you can get and it's also the cheapest. All of my double locking guitars will be getting Gotoh. These are really the best.

Perfect
Bought this to replace the rather poor licenced Floyd on my '92 Jackson Stealth EX Professional. It is simply perfect. The post hole has a diameter of 11.3mm, and my original had 10mm, so I needed to find an 11mm drill bit (harder than I thought!). Doddle to install, and probably the best upgrade I could do for my guitar!

Great quality for an amazing price!
I'm really happy with this purchase for few months now. I replaced a floyd rose special variation with it, but check the dimensions before you buy! There are different block sizes and the screws that tighten the strings are a bit longer, thus making it bigger than regular floyd. My guitar cavity was big enough to install it, but if yours is not - you can use the shorter screws from the one you are replacing.
It's really well made and stays in tune perfectly! The way you tighten the whammy bar is far superior compared to the original Floydrose bridge. I think it's good that it doesn't come with a locking nut... some people like me won't need it, but if you do, you have the option to buy it separately.
