Gotoh GE1996T Floyd Rose® Double Locking Tremolo – Black

The Gotoh GE1996T is widely regarded as one of the finest double-locking tremolo systems in the world. Combining legendary Japanese craftsmanship with innovative engineering, this system offers superior tuning stability and tonal resonance. Whether you are performing dive-bombs or subtle vibrato, the GE1996T provides a smooth, reliable response that professional players demand. Finished in sleek Black, it is the ultimate upgrade for any high-performance guitar.

Patented Stud Lock & Premium Materials

What sets the Gotoh system apart is the patented Stud Lock mechanism. This design utilizes a small set screw inside the mounting studs to lock them securely into the inserts, eliminating "play" and preventing the studs from turning after setup. Coupled with hardened steel saddles and a 36mm brass sustain block, this bridge maximizes string-to-body vibration transfer for enhanced sustain and harmonic clarity.

Precision Engineering

The GE1996T features an internally threaded tremolo arm that allows for precise adjustment of swing-away tension, ensuring the arm stays exactly where you want it. With standard 74mm stud spacing, it is a direct replacement for many industry-standard locking tremolos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit as a direct replacement for an Original Floyd Rose?
Yes, the 74mm stud spacing is compatible with most OFR routes. However, we highly recommend using the supplied Gotoh 11mm inserts and studs to take advantage of the Stud Lock feature and ensure a perfect mechanical fit.

Does it include a locking nut?
No, the GE1996T is supplied as the bridge assembly only. Locking nuts are sold separately to allow you to choose the specific width and mounting style required for your guitar neck.

Why is the brass block important?
Many standard tremolos use thin, lightweight alloy blocks. The high-density 36mm brass block in the GE1996T increases the overall mass of the bridge, which directly improves sustain and provides a fuller, more resonant tone.
