OFR.

I still prefer my OFR over any trem I've ever used.

I didn't check to see if this poll had been done before. Probably has though. But who knows, maybe you've changed you mind since you voted int the last one.

Time for a fresh OFR poll!!

It's a great trem, and nice to have as an upgrade for so many guitars out there. It's still take a LoPro as my 1st choice, but the OFR is a blessing to those who need a TRS upgrade. They stay in tune well, and sustain very well.

The OFR rocks, Darin. And it looks great, too!

I don't think it's necessarily the best, though. I mean, others are equally good. They just differ.

I'm hopefully getting a Carvin this year, and I'm having it equipped with an OFR. It's going to be pretty cool.

Because of it's profile?

I do like the OFR, but prefer the Lo-pro, Edge and even the Edge Pro

Here's what they say about the OFR on the Suhr website:

"Despite the bad rap the Floyd has received over the years, we still think it is a good sounding bridge. It has a brass block, sounds warm and can be played aggressively. The construction is not as good as it used to be; some tolerances have become sloppy over the years. The radius is basically not adjustable; 10-14" compound fingerboard radius seems to work the best. Most of the construction issues are handled here at Suhr Guitars. Nothing will stay in tune as a properly working Floyd."

Obviously the OFR deserves a lot of credit and loyalty, but the original edge on my 88 FP has been nothing short of a miracle. I have had several guitars with an OFR, as well as many with a licensed trem, and none have swayed my opinion. I voted that it was equal to the best however because after the edge, the OFR stands alone in it's dominance!!

I've having a OFR fitted to the Suhr Standard that I ordered a while back. But tbh, if I could, it'd have a lo-pro fitted. I just prefer the feel of the Ibanez trems.

I love the Edge and Gotoh Licenced Floyd Roses. The Gotoh one has taken the issues with the OFR, and made it so much better: Locking studs, straight knife edge, lowest standard profile layout, and the best trem arm design I've ever seen. Plus it's cheaper than the OFR and Schaller models.

Mostly because it's the one I'm most used to at this point

Couldn't you send a new Lo-Pro to Suhr and have them install that instead of the OFR?

I'm not sure if they would Jimmy. When I ordered it I asked for off-set dots, which wasn't on the options list. They said they couldn't do it, so I'd be surprised if they would agree to putting a totally different trem system on it. Plus once the order has been processed, I don't think they allow you to alter anything.

I love the older Floyds from the 80s and early nineties. But the newer ones, although the same design, feel cheaper (and not made as well). I think that's why Suhr switched to Gotoh Floyds.
