Original saddle sets are now available in different radii, all proudly made in the USA at our new cutting-edge machining facility.

Our new Floyd Rose manufacturing facility offers immediate availability of the legendary Floyd Rose Original saddles in multiple radius configurations. Engineered to perfectly match specific fretboard curvatures, these saddle sets provide a range of radius options without the need for shims. Alongside the classic 12” radius, we are introducing 8”, 10”, 14”, 16”, and 17” radii saddle sets which will fit Floyd Rose Original, 1000 Series, and Special Tremolo Systems. Crafted from premium hardened tool steel with precision CNC machining and finished with durable, smooth plating, these saddles are built to withstand the demands of the most intense performances. Chrome sets of USA-made Floyd Rose Original Saddles in various radii are available now, followed by black in late September, and gold & black nickel finishes in the 4^th quarter of 2024. 

The machining center in North Carolina was devised to meet growing demand while ensuring the highest quality available. Bringing production in-house enhances control over every aspect of the process including engineering, material selection, quality control, and scheduling. The facility features four Haas VF-series CNC machines, delivering precision machining fine-tuned for high efficiency and clean surface finishes. Alongside machining, we have established a state-of-the-art metal finishing department and acquired stamping equipment with new capabilities added monthly.

At the heart of the Floyd Rose USA manufacturing center is a dedicated team of engineers and technicians who excel in their craft and are deeply passionate about all things Floyd Rose. With decades of collective experience, our machining experts meticulously craft each component to exacting standards.

“We are ecstatic to be making these new Original saddles in the USA, giving us better control over quality and production times while offering more robust options like these new radii,” said Andrew Papiccio, longtime president of AP International Music Supply / Floyd Rose and an original owner of Kramer Guitars. "With this new state-of-the-art facility, we are poised to deliver unparalleled quality and performance to musicians worldwide. As we integrate new products into this facility, we are expanding our commitment to 'Made in America' craftsmanship.”

We plan to continue ramping up production of other parts and innovations out of the new factory for Floyd Rose and our new AxLabs Hardware division.  Stay tuned!

Chrome and black saddle sets available now! Gold and black nickel are expected to become available in late October / early November.
