A complete rebuild kit for a 7-string floating tremolo. This is the Floyd Rose Original Hot Rod series in satin chrome — one box covers the bridge, locking nut, springs and claw, mounting studs, and all installation hardware. The double-locking design locks the strings at both the nut and the bridge saddles, which is the mechanism that lets the system return to pitch after hard dive-bomb use. The Hot Rod series shares its footprint with the Floyd Rose Original 7-String and adds a fat brass sustain block and stainless steel screws over the base Original spec. Base plate and saddles are hardened steel. The tremolo is made in Germany; the stainless steel screws are made in the USA.
Fit is the hard part. This kit drops in only if the guitar already carries a bridge with the same series footprint and the same 7-string stud spacing. If the dimensions do not match, installing this is a routing and re-drilling job, not a parts swap. Before ordering, pull your existing bridge and check what is actually in there — series, string count, and stud spacing all have to line up. Do not assume two Floyd Rose bridges share dimensions just because they share a brand name.
The brass block is the upgrade that most people buying into the Hot Rod series are after. Brass damps differently than the cast zinc blocks found on budget-tier units, and the change is audible on clean settings. The stainless steel screws resist the corrosion that causes saddle screws to seize, which is a common reason rebuild kits get ordered in the first place.
If you are not certain this is the right kit for your guitar, send us the make, model, and year and we will tell you whether it fits before you order.
