Schaller Lockmeister 6 Tremolo C

I bought this to replace the Floyd Rose 1000 series on my Charvel. The overall quality of the LockMeister is far superior to the Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo, everything just feels so much higher quality and more solid.

The fine tuners are super smooth to turn and the saddles appear to be machined way better these days compared to the original Floyd Rose.

Included all of the necessary parts of the system in the box and the price is very reasonable.

The only disappointment is that mine arrived with a damaged saddle on the high Estring, where the screw locks the saddle to the base plate, it looks like a bad screw was used and had chewed through the plating of the saddle.
Thomann took care of this immediately for me after contacting them, so all is fine now. Obviously it was a fault that happened at the Schaller factory during production, but hopefully it's a rare occurrence.

Conclusion :
This tremolo is absolutely rock solid, sounds excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one in future if needed. The quality is without a doubt superior over my real deal Original Floyd Rose Tremolo's (German made).

I purchased this to replace a Floyd Rose Special bridge that came stock on a new guitar. Perfect fit and replacement for the FR Special, the only thing you'll need to adjust is the intonation on the new bridge. It's a noticeable improvement in clarity, overall tone, focus and sustain over the Special as well. The Lockmeister takes me back to the early Floyds, super solid, smooth and perfect return to pitch. Most people think of the extreme vibrato effects you can get with these but the subtle and sensitive nuances you can pull out are incredible as well. As usual Thomann has excellent service and super fast shipping, 3 days to the USA!
