definitely all floyds are destined to rust!specially those who live in a humid place like I do! humidity is sometimes 98% here. but I guess the finish is much more effective than I thought.
In my honest opinion, floyd trems, even ORIGINAL ones (like mine), are very cheaply made compared to what they cost. I already have a stripped screw in mine!
I'd guess the rust resistance has something to do with the color coating. They're probably all made from the same metal.
On the Alexi guitars, are they all original floyd rose except the alexi-200?
My 2006 red beveled RR24 came with a german made original floyd rose. And yeah, the info about schaller is correct. Only disanvantage on the schaller is the baseplate. It is made of a lighter metal and is prone to usage damage on the intonation screw-holes.
how can you distinguish the German from the Korean? I've never seen a German one yet! or maybe I have seen but didn't realize it!
you have to take your floyd out and see in the back whats written there. if it says made in germany well, its german.
