Been seeing lots of discussion on this topic throughout the web and thought I’d post some definitive examples of some obvious differences between the German made “Original Floyd Rose™” and the less expensive, Korean made “Original Floyd Rose™” tremolo systems. – Both have the “Floyd Rose” logo imprinted on top, but with close examination, the finer details are very different.


Figure 1.0 – “Made In…” Stamp.
　　The most obvious German made indication is that there should be a “Made In Germany” stamped into the bottom of the bridge.Also notice the difference in the pivot knife edges/route. The German version is both deeper and wider providing a sharper pivot contact free of possible interference.

Figure 1.1 – “Squared or Beveled Saddle Blocks”.
　　In most cases it seems the Korean made Floyd™ will have beveled string saddles. However recently, I’ve been told by a couple of vendors that they’ve seen them come both squared as well as beveled. If anything, one might considered the beveled version more comfortable than the squared off version….


Figure 1.2 – “Bridge Cast”.
　　The German version (IMO) has a tighter, more polished casting with wider and straighter hardened steel edges to the base plate. Also notice the heavier gauge string locking screws on the German made version.
Figure 1.3 – “Fine Tuners”.
　　German version having more streamlined (lower profile) and smoother fine tuner adjustments, where the Korean version almost feels clunky in comparison.
