Check this out. Mr Rose himslef explains the Speedloader tremolo. Impressive stuff, though I still prefer and old school headstock.

Yeah im not to sure about the headstock but that is really what you call innovation. the only disadvantage i see is whether strings for it would be widely available.

that is deadly tbh...so many people hate changing strings on floyds...i'm impressed

Very cool. At first I though the speedloader was a rip-off of the steinberger double-ball end system but they really have really taken it a step further
I understand Mr Rose is bringing out a new hardtail bridge "later this year" which makes setting the intonation a thing of the past or somwthing like that

EDIT: Someone here on boards has a speedloader dont they?
PS - the new bridge is called a convergence bridge

Pretty damn sweet. I want one!

Anyone any idea about the availability / cost of the strings?

There not that widely available here. Musicmaker should have some and so should instumental considering they sell the guitars with them installed. No idea on cost though.
