Brad Whitford of Aerosmtih (1) "The
Floyd Rose guitars
are great playing and
great sounding guitars,
well engineered, with
amazing ease of changing
strings. They sound great..
They are extremely versatile
for rock and blues and
everything in between.
Even the front-of-house
engineers remarked that
it sounds amazing." |

LOVE 45 Web site
“I have
fallen in love with this guitar.
The look and feel of it and
the tone and craftsmanship
are superb. It has become my
main guitar that I play live
and each time I do I love it
even more. Someday I hope to
have a huge arsenal of these
beauties.” |
Blackbyrd
with George Clinton (2) George Clinton Web site “After
playing my Floyd, It's hard
to play anything else. I love
it. I really love it! It's
my favorite instrument. It
does me so much justice. I
don't have to add anything
to it like I do with other
guitars. I just plug it in
and play. It's incredible.
My guitar solos have improved
so much with ease because of
the playability, that I enjoy
playing a whole lot more.
Mr. Rose did it again." |

Gloria Estefan Web site The Floyd Rose has guitar great tone, wonderful balance, and won't go out of tune. What more can you want in an axe?" Tommy Anthony with Gloria Estefan, Stevie Winwood, and more. |
Lynyrd Skynyrd Web site “The Floyd Rose guitar is an engineering marvel. The concept of having a bullet on either end of the string is a great idea. The guitar itself resonated without it even being plugged in. When they do that it means that the strings, neck and body are all in contact with each other. That translates into great tone. You guys are on to something good. Overall, I think the guitar is great! Hughie Thomasson, Lynyrd Skynyrd |

Josh Groban Web site "The Floyd Rose guitar is awesome. I love the guitar. I love how fluid the neck plays. I love the tone. It has an amazingly fast neck that is even throughout the travel of the frets. It's great for speed legato licks. I thinks Floyd has come up with something really special with this guitar." |

JP Cervoni Web site "I absolutely love my Floyd Rose guitar! It's one of the best guitars I have ever held in my hands. What impressed me the most is how all together the guitar is. It has great tone, great sustain, and a wonderful thickness of sound. The neck is perfect! It's wonderful to have a stock guitar that I don't have to sand down the neck. I am still amazed at the ease and speed of replacing the strings." JP Cervoni |

"I am so impressed with the Floyd Rose guitars. They sound great. There is an amazing diversity in the sounds I get from it. Last night I was tracking through my ProTools rig, I plugged in direct. I was able to track a whole song with just that one instrument. I can get anything from a beefy crunch sound to a smooth glassy sound.” Drew Shirley Switchfoot |
Dave
Foreman- Christina Aguilera "I love my Floyd Rose!
It’s
user friendly, lower maintenance, and
the strings stay in tune for an amazingly
very long time. It has a great action
and the tone is perfect. The pickups
sound great. I will put up against any
guitar you can play!"

| Forrest Lee Web site "The first
time I touched a new Floyd Rose
guitar, I knew it would redefine
the guitar industry. Every Floyd
guitar I've picked up plays like
butter,
sounds incredible, and the attention
to detail is unsurpassed. The fact
you
can change all the strings and
be playing again in a couple minutes
is truly
amazing, a must have for guitarists without a guitar tech. I've never broken a string with my Floyd Rose either. The only time I change a string is when I'm doing a session or showing it off! I've used my Floyd on several recording sessions for Country, Rockabilly, Blues and Rock and it's perfect for every genre. My poor old Frankentele is getting jealous!" Forrest

Boz
Boorer of Morrissey "In addition to using my Floyd on the Morrissey tour and numerous television festivals, I just used it at the Rockabilly festival. It was admired by purists and modernists alike. With the ease of playing, the speed of changing strings, and no compromise in the tone, no corners were cut. It's an all-around top notch guitar!" |
"The
Floyd Rose has great tone.
It is the tone I was looking
for. It’s very
warm and rich with a great
balance between the highs and
lows. It has it’s own
versatile yet unique distinctive
sound. I love the tone and
I love my guitar. It helps
me establish my own sound.
The Floyd also has great intonation
and I could change strings
in seconds. Really! Plus, the
balance of the guitar is great.
My shoulder doesn’t
get tired or worn down. |

Usher Web site "My
Floyd Rose guitar has a very particular sound
that is absolutely great. It has a cool,
fat juicy beefy tone. I love that tone! From
the guitars I had, I was missing that fat
tone. It also nails that great strat sound
when I need it. It has a great chunky clean
sound. I also love how it's balanced and how
my thumb glides along the back of the neck.
It's the first guitar that I didn't have
to sand the back of the neck. I love the
way my Floyd Rose guitar way feels and I
love the way it looks." |
Roger
Fisher
Founding member of Heart (4) "Remember
when you were learning how to play guitar? At
some point you probably got a new, better guitar
that gave you a new thrill and enthusiasm for
playing. Your playing improved, new songs
were written and you couldn't put it down. That's what it was like for me discovering the Floyd Rose guitar. Hats off to someone who, with their vision, creativity, and willingness to break the rules has taken residence on the same pinnacle of importance as Les Paul and Leo Fender. Good job, Floyd!"

"The Floyd Rose guitar looks incredible and has a sound that is very warm.
The sound is real fresh. When I record with my Floyd Rose guitar, it has a tone that stands out and has a lot of It has a lot of bite. For live use, it's really tight, my Floyd puts out a lot of power.." |
Andrew Synowiec "I was doing a session in Miami with a producer who has a Floyd Rose guitar. I had my $3000 guitar and was skeptical about using the Floyd guitar instead of mine. After trying the Floyd, it blew my *$#@ guitar out of the water. The Floyd Rose guitar just sounded great." Andrew Synowiec |
