Yes! Thats the one :) I own 2 of them now. I need one more to build a white american deluxe with maple neck and black pickguard and pickups kinda like the van halen 1 strat minus the stripes lol.
I went to that schaller link and didnt see them there at all.

Still available, you can use the Schaller Vintage Tremolo or the Schaller Tremolo 2000 (with knife edges).

Hey Robin, I looked and i do not see a bridge like what we are talking bout on the Schaller website. The one in the picture right above your post says on it Floyd Rose. I read in a Fender magazine they were called a Floyd Rose II bridge made for "Fender." So Schaller would not make a Floyd Rose.

I am sorry about the wrong informations.
I am pretty sure you are right Xhefri about Fender and Floyd Rose collaboration.
Maybe the Schaller trems are a good replacement for those original Fender/FloydRose.
Schaller did make the FloydRose trems all the time and they are better than the original Floyd Rose.
Sorry again for the confusion,

Robin

Actually from what I know schaller does make the original floyd rose and they made the floyd rose 2 that was thicker it went on jacksons in the 90s. It is not the tremolo we are talkin about.
I have seen the fender deluxe locking tremolo come in 3 variations. Generic no marking on it, simply fender stamped on it, and fender and floyd rose stamped on it.

That´s the trem I mentioned above. But it is not locking the strings.

Cheers,
Robin

Thats an interesting assembly to bad its not locking. Being a machinist I can make the parts that wear or get lost on mine. It would be nice to be able to still get parts from fender though

Yeah I got one off there brand new for around that.
I just replaced my old one.

Hey Xhefri I have a few spec on those bridges
The locking screw can be replaced one of two ways an 8-32 socket head screw 1/2 inch long and a dog point has to be turned on it.
Or a 1/2 inch long 8-32 dog point set screw.
Either will change your wrench size so its a complete change out.

Ok now the insert is tougher, its 3/16 drill rod angle ground
and drilled then heat treated. Its all machine shop stuff thats costly.

It would be interesting how the current USA deluxe HSS Strats with the Atomic/N3 pickups and raw switch would look with the mini-floyd.

I'd expect seeing some photos from those "new" American Deluxe HSS "LT" Strats....

Picked up a pop in tremolo arm with the 1/8 inch allen on the end today. Wish the rest of the parts were that easy to find.

This is a picture illustrating the most common needed parts for this Fender Tremolo.
If we could be instructed by Fender as where to get these at or who actually manufactured them.
