Drop-in Upgrade Trem for Strat-style Electrics
The Floyd Rose Rail Tail retrofit tremolo bridge merges the feel and reliability of a hardtail bridge with the EVH-preferred action of a dive-only trem — and it brings it all to your Strat-style electric in a modless drop-in design. The Floyd Rose Rail Tail system installs easily, without drilling or routing, using the existing screw holes and block cavity of your standard 6-point floating tremolo*. Not only does the Rail Tail offer deeper dives than you'd ever get from a traditional trem, it also enhances tone and tuning stability for players who want more from their beloved Strat. The Rail Tail maximizes vibrational transfer from the strings to the body, allowing open and fretted notes to ring out to their full potential. And since the Floyd Rose Rail Tail is CNC machined from a solid piece of brass, you can be sure sweeter tones and longer sustains await you in this powerful drop-in trem system. Of course, it goes without saying that the Rail Tail looks great, bringing a decidedly premium look to your vintage or modern axe of choice. Take it from guitar players at Sweetwater: if you're looking for a Strat tremolo upgrade that doesn't require major surgery, the Floyd Rose Rail Tail is it.
* Vintage-style Strat? The Rail Tail also retrofits 2-point tremolo systems with the drilling of four small screw holes. A hole guide is included.
