Floyd Rose Rail Tail Tremolo

The original Squier tremolo was professionally replaced with a Floyd Rose RT400N Rail Tail Narrow tremolo system in nickel.

The Rail Tail is designed as a high-performance, non-locking Strat-style tremolo. Its rail-based mounting system is engineered to provide smooth movement and improved return-to-pitch performance while retaining the familiar feel and operation of a traditional Stratocaster tremolo.

The RT400N uses narrow 2-1/16" string spacing and currently retails for approximately $293–$300 on its own.

Fender Locking Tuning Machines

A set of genuine Fender polished-chrome locking tuning machines was professionally installed.
