Floyd went up to EVH and asked him to try it out.. Since Eddie was constantly using his Tremolo. He installed the first Floyd Rose WITHOUT the fine tuners on his Bumblebee (Which he buried with Dimebag). I'd say around 79' Eddie first used it. I've read that Eddie was the first to publicize it.. i truly believe that. Kramer later had a contract with Floyd around like 83'. Cheers! -Chez

@thegermanchannel212 Nope, it was Gary Kahlers on those Gibson Tune-O-Matics because they slapped right on the posts with a small route underneath! Hendrix relied on the old Bigsby tremolo on a Flying V

@GearVault I remember they were in adverts together, and Guitar Player put out a special interview book compiling all the greats of HM guitar, going back to Hendrix..even the late Randy Rhoads was in the book. Guitarists themselves don't always know about their own guitars, they leave that to the roadies!
