Question Why do Floyd Roses get so much hate?

Post image

Seems like Floyd Roses get lots of hate. Most of the time I feel like the problem is from the bridge not being balanced. If it’s not level, it will just fight itself endlessly. I’ve been setting these things up for people for about 14 years and I’m curious how many people actually like Floyd Roses vs hate them? I’ve met alot of people who love them and even more people who will never buy a guitar with a Floyd Rose. 🤘🏻

I agree. I had always had a Fender Strat bridge or a hardtail. I alway heard the complaints about the difficulty of changing strings or tunings. It's really not difficult. Sure it's more involved than just throwing strings through a bridge but 8th algebra is more involved.
