has some minor damges and the floyd is blocked also the whammy bar is gone.

not a realy big problem IMO.

he plays great and screams like a demon a real metal guitar this one.

the next one i swapped with a forumite from the dutch guitar forum ,he wanted a bass and i a firebird copy ,so we swapped.

it's a daytone ,plywood ,set neck minihumbuckers and not bad at all ,plays like a dream sound is a little bit on the muddy side though.

but i'm happy ,firebird copy's are difficult to get.

Shoots he scores! Un-block that whammy

you can always find a bar.

I used to have a Yamaha like that when I was 17 or 18. An RGX612S if I remember correctly. Mine was black.

 

Never sounded as good as it did when I tried it in the store. There were a lot of tuning problems with that guitar too. Maybe that's why the bridge is blocked.

 

Still, 150 for that and the pedals ain't bad.

i think that's the problem , i don't mind really but it's a shame that the bar is gone.

i don't like floyd style bridges because of the tuning problems , changing strings is hell on those things.

the guitar is made in 87' a little bit too young for my collection , but i think he may stay ,you don't see these yamaha's often.

i've never seen one before , it's more a ibanez model.

Some Floyd copies are cheap like the ones in

the cheaper Jackson D4,but the one in my Wolfgang

I could jump up and down on it and still stays in tune.With a little TlC.....wait you don't like floyds never mine.

If I remember correctly, the bridge hinged on a cam roller like a Kahler. It wasn't a knife edge bridge like a Floyd.

 

There's also a little thumb screw somewhere (can't remember if it's in front or back) that stops the trem from pulling upwards when tightened. So maybe that's what's "blocking" the bridge's movement.

 

That guitar's got a 24.75" scale like a Gibson. It's a weird duck.
