Bridge Gold - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Sp9-+ZXFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will it keep my other strings in tune during a low e bend?** A: No, with any tremolo that doesn't have a way to switch it from free-floating to locked in a fixed position, bending one string will cause the others to go out of tune slightly. **Q: Is this compatible with floyd r8 nut? i don't want to encounter intonation problems. thanks!** A: The tremolos and locking nuts are sold separately so you can find the correct nut for your guitar. You can use the GE-1996T with your existing locking nut, or buy a Gotoh locking nut of the correct size separately. **Q: Is this a great and or better replacement for a Floyd 1000 series? And will it fit?** A: Yes, I've replaced two Floyd Rose Specials and one Jackson licensed Floyd Rose with a Gotoh GE-1996T. The base plate size is the same, but there are two areas you need to be concerned about: the sustain block length and the size of the routed cavity for the string clamp bolts in the back. For some reason, most of the Gotohs I find online have the 40mm sustain block where the springs attach in the back. On some guitars, this is too long and you won't be able to put the back plate on. In a very thin guitar it may even stick out the back slightly. Measure your current sustain block to be sure the Gotoh will fit your guitar. The next issue is to measure how far back the routed cavity extends. With the intonation set correctly, the string clamp bolt hit the back of the cavity on one of my guitars. I had to move it in slightly to make it fit, so my low E string isn't perfectly intonated. On the other two that wasn't an issue. **Q: Will this drop into an ibanez rg 470? any mods need to be done?** A: This will not fit the RG470 because this 40mm block is too long. It will stick out the back of the guitar. You need the 33mm block model. I had to source it on EBay and was a comparable price. It is a perfect fit. Everything between the 2 are identical except the block length. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than FR Original *by R***I on 29 August 2024* Lower profile, hardened main plate (pivot knife edges), great finish! I have yet to install this paticular one, but have this same model from the same vendor on another axe. These perform great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful fit and finish, gold. *by A***R on 16 August 2026* I brought the gold plated version. The parts supplied with it are made with quality materials. The posts are brass and profiled with a generous v-groove. The spring claw is a typical stamped part, nothing special. The bridge parts look great and the hardware is high quality. A month of use and it stays in tune with aggressive use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Product! *by A***R on 7 June 2026* This thing is super awesome! The bridge has held up nicely and the only gripe I have is that the finish has worn off in the area of palm placements, but that is to be expected as much as I play my guitars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gotoh Floyd Rose® Lic.
