Floyd Rose Rail Tail Wide Tremolo System
Upgrade to Floyd Rose reliability with no drilling! The Rail Tail design completely revolutionizes 6-point bridges for better tuning stability, sustain, and functionality. And it’s a drop-in upgrade.
The Rail Tail Tremolo is a full contact, dive-only tremolo designed to retrofit your existing Strat-style 6-point tremolo with vintage wide 2-7/32" string spacing (also available in narrow 2-1/16" spacing). It drops in with no modifications to your guitar—a clever design merging the feel and reliability of a hardtail bridge with the flexibility of a tremolo system.
No modifications needed
Computer designed and precision-machined, the Rail Tail achieves maximum performance and stunning appearance without compromising comfort or feel. Its unique features allow for adjustability to fit a variety of guitar bodies and for an easy DIY installation.
Unlike the original tremolo design that rocks on a bevel located under the screw heads, the Rail Tail tremolo plate rotates around a precision rail that is mounted directly to the guitar body. The plate cradles the entire rail with precision as if they were one unit—improving sound quality and tuning stability. This union also creates a greater breakpoint allowing open strings to maintain pitch when bending another, much like a hardtail.
Improved perfomance and sustain
The tremolo plate consists of slotted string block mounting holes not only for accommodating installation but also allowing the string block to be positioned forward for greater rotational range. This means diving up to 15 degrees more than conventional tremolo bridges.
An advanced string block also consists of game-changing features: mid-positioned tapered string holes assist in true string saddle contact. Working together with the rail and string block are the roller string saddles. This entire assembly provides ultimate vibrational energy transfer from the strings to the guitar body for better overall sustain and tone.
