    Jeez, how much did that set you back, Doc? Those suckers are freakin expensive, and don't you already have multiple guitars with floyds?

    All up, and including postage, it cost me Au$328.85, mainly because I went with the chrome one which is the least expensive one Stewmac stock.

    I've got two other Floyd Rose equipped guitars, the reason why I decided to install a Floyd Rose FRX on my LP studio is quite simple, I'd just gotten tired of trying to keep the guitar in tune, tried all the usual recommended fixes and they didn't work, so I decided to try a different tactic to fix the problem by tackling the root-cause which is basically friction due to the amount of downward-force exerted by the string as it passes through the nut-slots, and this is because of the back-angle of the headstock, the strings splaying-out on their way to the tuners, is only exasperating the problem, the locking-nut of the Floyd rose FRX trem system eliminates the friction-issues by stopping the strings from slipping out of tune as the string-tensions either side of the nut equalize.
