Hi Everybody.
I have a Stratocaster made in Japan with a Fender Floyd Rose Tremolo System. But screws are missing and it is in bad conditions.
Does anybody know, where to buy a new one?

They do not make them like that anymore. Check out:

I had one on my Squire a few years ago. Course it had to be professionally installed. YOu could also try craigslist or ebay, but they are scarce.

I use to have a strat like. I got it from a pawn shop a few years ago. If you really really want a floyd on your strat I can't stop you, but I highly recommend that you don't. I wanted one too and when I finally got it I was so f*cken happy but slowly my happiness begin to fade. I grew to hate it more and more everyday. I would wake up some days and hate myself for buying it. The thing would NEVER stay in tune. I had it set up and still wouldn't (Waste of $60) I'm speaking from experience. I wouldnt want you to go thru the same thing I did.

Peace Out

take that old guy off and put a real floyd on it. Or even a Floyd Rose Special, MUCH better quality than 90% of the other licensed floyds. I put one on my ESP as well as my Jackson and never have tuning issues.

Wammiworld has some parts for those Fender System 1 trems and a little bit of the history on them.

Hope that helps a little.

frostymug is right. That isn't a Floyd Rose, it is a Fender System 1 bridge made by Shaller.

Many people believe it to be a Kahler bridge as well, but it was actually made by Shaller.

I got one recently on a MIJ Squier. Mine is staying in tune, but I have an issue with the E string is a little too low. There is no height adjustment for the individual saddles on this type of bridge.

I do like the look of this bridge better than the Floyd Rose, becuase it isn't so big. I think Floyd Rose bridges look bad on a stratocaster. I like Floyd Rose bridges, but they look bad on a stratocaster, IMO.
