This bridge system is designed to work with Floyd Rose Speed Loader Strings. To ensure Floyd Rose quality and consistency, these strings have undergone years of rigorous development and testing to meet Floyd's exacting specifications. Speed Loader Strings are only for use on Speed Loader Bridges and Convergent Tuning Bridges. String end components are precision made in Switzerland by one of the world's leading manufacturers of Swiss machine parts. String wire is manufactured in the United States by the leading music wire manufacturers.

Each and every string is tested for pitch tolerance compliance prior to packaging.
