Description

Based on my research, this is essentially the very first FRT-5 clone ever made.  Available in May 1983 before licensing agreements existed.  Made of bent-steel and super high quality.  Made similarly to the Mike Hansen Whale tail but different look.  These were made in Japan as soon as, I believe, the Kramer deal was struck with Floyd Rose.  Soon afterwards, production was stopped, and not many of these exist – usually seen on high quality ESP guitars from mid-1983.  A great collector’s piece, and in fact, these are GREAT tremolos overall.  Personally, I believe there is some kind of mysterious history (like all Fernandes official Floyds) to these which we will never know about.

Comes with original box.  It took me many years to find the box.  ESP MAGICIAN INFO
