"Floyd Rose STYLE Tremolo?" Is that a Kahler, I can't tell from the picture. It would be just like Klaus to be selling it with a lesser-quality licensed trem. Doesn't look like a Spyder that I can tell.
Klaus strikes me as the Ed Roman of Eastern Europe! haha.

It's the FR Pro made by American Precision Metal Works who also manufactured Kahlers in the 80s & 90s. My understanding is that it was a deal struck between FR and Kahler when they co-designed the FR Pro. They built them at APMW. So it is a Floyd/Kahler hybrid in a sense. I removed my FR Pro from my HMT when I first got it and found it has APMW/Made in USA stamped on the under side of the tremolo. I'm sure Klaus' HMT is the same.

How do you like the FR Pro? Sounds like a cool bridge, sort of a collector's item for Floyd Rose nuts like us!

It is probably my favorite Floyd style. It has a lower profile like the Ibanez Lo-Pro. String spacing is not F spaced though. It's a couple of mm tighter than an F spaced Spyder or Steeler. The Steeler is by far my favorite Kahler fulcrum tremolo.
What about Klaus' almost $1200.00 price tag for that MIJ HMT? Dude's out of his gourd. Blue Book is like $375.00 or something.

Truly Klaus has had one too many WeinerSchnitzels and St. Pauli Girls and they have gone to his head. $1,200?!! Geez.
