Floyd Rose Hot Rod Tremolo System – Pro Performance Upgrade

The Floyd Rose FRTC100SSS Original Hot Rod Series Tremolo System Satin Chrome is a double-locking vibrato designed for electric guitarists seeking uncompromising tuning stability and expressive control. German precision engineering ensures that this tremolo can handle intense pitch bends and aggressive playing without losing pitch. With its double-locking design and selection of premium components, the system appeals to musicians who expect both reliability and tonal flexibility. As installation demands specific body routing, it suits those ready for a professional-level modification.

Distinctive features and build quality

What distinguishes the FRTC100SSS Hot Rod version is its standard 37 mm fat brass block, delivering increased sustain, paired with USA-made stainless steel screws for fluid operation and extended lifespan. The satin chrome finish is visually striking and contributes to the system’s ruggedness.

Engineered for stability and sustain

Musicians value both precise tuning and sustain when performing expressively. This tremolo addresses these needs by combining a hardened steel base plate, substantial fat brass sustain block, and corrosion-resistant hardware.

• Sustain Block: 37 mm fat brass — provides enhanced sustain and richer overtones
• Material: Hardened steel (base plate, saddles) — offers lasting reliability for years of performance
• This system includes stainless steel screws to ensure smooth adjustment and resistance to corrosion over time.

Highly adaptable for custom setups

Players can modify string spacing and saddle height to achieve their preferred setup. The two-point mounting system and adjustable bridge height allow installation on a broad range of compatible instruments.

• String Spacing: 10.7 mm — fits both modern and traditional string arrangements
• Bridge Height & Intonation: Fully adjustable — lets users set action and tuning to their requirements
• Mounting: 2-point — installation requires dedicated body routing
