No mention of the lack of locking studs. It is probably made at the Korean factory that makes their tuners.

The Gotoh 510 TS with locking saddles and the Wilkinson VS1300 are joint best IMO and the 1996 Steeler and 1984 are pretty similar in floyds.
A debate on any alternatives would be a good thread but come with an evidence based argument around the merits of the design and execution.
Some of my first guitars I started with had original Floyd locking and I was used to abusing the snot out of them....now I'm pleasantly surprised how well some of the gotoh bridges perform. I have the Wilkinson VS130 on my Charvel DK24 Pro mod and I have not had a string break yet. I'm very happy with it. No fussing with the locking nut or fine tuners on bridge like on my EBMM Axis
It says there are locking studs...
Here are a few pics of the new Suhr trem from my guitar. Note that there's no Suhr brand marks on it.
Definitely resembles the 510
Thats weird since the announcement has a picture of a bridge with the Suhr logo on it.
That's what I was thinking. Otherwise, it seems to look like their promo pics.
My mistake.
It's a copy of it.
That was the best option before the locking Gotoh saddles came out.
Definitely! My newer PT HH and HSS both have the Wilkinson bridge and saddles and I don’t find there’s much of a difference between the two. Both are very good with the locking saddles.
Yes. Almost all guitar company branded hardware comes from a few third party manufacturers that usually sell to other brands and also themselves. The FU2 bridge above is another example . Sometimes they make stuff exclusively but not often.
I swapped the saddles on my Suhr bridges with the Gotoh locking, LS108.
