Hey there Strat lovers!
I have a question about some Strats that i've seen with Floyd Rose locking trems. 1st. of all are they Fender factory specked, or are they a Mod? Some places such as Wild west guitars i have seen them but they were all sold stock. And my 2nd. question if Fender does make em like that is there a name they go by. Or do you just need to know somebody.
I am courious, I've wanted one every since i saw Dave Murry jammin with the Maiden on his Floyd powered Strats! Thanks ,and best regards.
Strats rule! Others Drool!

They used to make american strats with floyds years before... currently there are only the MIM models with floyd rose bridges and they are standard strats ... :)

In the 90s they made the american classic Floyd Rose, excellent instrument!I loved it...that guitar plus 2 super distortion are one of the best choices for metal...

Back in the 90's they had the MIA Floyd Strat
Now I think you can only get a Floyd on some MIM models.

They were pretty neat guitars

As stated above, the new Stratocasters that have the Floyd Rose Tremelo's are Made in Mexico. They are made at the Fender Factory that way. It is an upgrade on the Standard Fender Stratocaster...

Sorry no pic...usually they show a black guitar with it.
