Hi, currently there are no american stratocaster guitars with the floyd rose tremolo, however there is one mexican standard model that has the floyd rose tremolo ...... also I heard there were american floyd rose strats on production years ago so you could look for one of those in used condition..... :)

Look for used, check ebay etc. I think some of the Ritchie Sambora strats had a floyd on them, but horrid looking star neck inlays as well.

It looks like you can still get the MIM HSS with the Floyd. That would be a nice place to start.

MIM Strats a good choice. Order online though, the prices haven't gone up yet on a lot of the online sites, Musicians Friend, Sam Ash, Zzounds..etc

There aren't any MIA's with a Floyd unless you Custom Shop it. There is a MIM with a Floyd Rose and HSS config. Choices are:

1. Used guitar--good luck
2. New MIM HSS
3. buy a MIA and mod it with a Floyd Rose Pro (not too many people are into that kind modding).
4. Have the Custom Shop make you one.

It really depends on your funds. I like the new MIM with the HSS config if I was to get another guitar with a Floyd Rose on it and wanted a Fender Strat. RK

You might want to look for an old Strat Ultra or "The Strat". I think some of these had BA Rose and/or Kahler trems.

I think my next Strat will be a Charvel So-Cal! LOL
