Hot Rod 6-String Upgrade Kit

Take your Original-style tremolo to the next level. The Floyd Rose Hot Rod Upgrade Kit is the easiest way to transform your Original, 1000 Series, or Special Tremolo into a true “Hot Rod” setup, enhancing sustain, stability, and overall performance in one complete package.

At the core of the upgrade is our Fat Brass Sustain Block, delivering increased mass for improved resonance and a fuller, more articulate attack & response. Paired with a full set of precision stainless steel hardware, this kit is built for durability, consistency, and long-term reliability under demanding playing conditions.

Each kit includes stainless steel string lock screws (6), saddle mounting screws (6), and nut clamping screws (3), giving you everything needed to upgrade critical contact points across your system.

Whether you're refining your tone or reinforcing your hardware, the Hot Rod Upgrade Kit delivers a noticeable step up in feel, response, and performance.

Each authentic Hot Rod Upgrade Kit comes packaged in a reusable tin, perfect for storing picks, screws, or other small hardware long after the install is complete.

*Note: These upgrade kits are designed to fit authentic Floyd Rose Original, 1000 Series, Special, and By Floyd Rose Tremolo Systems only. They will not fit 1000 Series Pro, FRX, Non-Fine Tuner, or any licensed systems on the market.
