From experience I much prefer the Gotoh, nothing wrong with the Schaller I just don't like the cast metal.

I've gone for a Black TRS101 from WD Music - I believe that they are fitted on some Jacksons and I've had one on a Washburn before.

I am not comparing the quality to Gotoh or Schaller but I've NEVER had a problem with the TRS101.

Kind of like not all pickups claim to be Bareknuckle quality but some can work very well in the right application.

i'm tempted to go with the rhythm in jump one, but i'll stick with the gotoh. It's truly badass, so ergonomic, and the tone and sustain is pretty good too.

The Parker Fly system is one-of-kind design, very relialable (always stays in tune) and also VERY versatile as you can use it in 3 modes :
- fixed bridge
- bend down only
- or floating like the floyd rose !

And there is no compromise in sustain as the whole body vibrate under the notes... Very Clever !

I love the Parker Fly system, with everything you've said and also the fact it looks cool and fits the quirky body design.

That wasn't ordinary "hair" it was "Fur" - Remember we are talking about a Devries Custom, show some respect!
