BTW just throw in a Duncan SH-5 Custom and be done with it!
Excellent pickup.
Floyd’s can be a pain in the ass, but that rock solid tuning is hard to beat. I have Floyd equipped guitars and I don’t even use the Floyd. I just like the fact they stay in tune. And they seem to feel slightly different to play on that a hard tail guitar. The palm mute chuggah chuggah thing sounds tighter and more defined to me, but that could be in my head.guitars with floyd's......My Kramer needs the neck adjusted and my Jackson as well. My Greco Sykes with the kahler is rock solid. fuck.
This is what I would like to understand better.
it really is a sweet guitar. that fuckin jb though....I have never really liked that pup....
I haven’t a clue. I think perhaps because it’s a big hunk of metal with a brass block usually attached compared to a much smaller piece of metal on a hard tail. A Floyd is pretty heavy.
Well yeah. That's what I assume as well. If that were the case, you'd think there would be more heavier floating trem (bridge) drop in replacements out there. Like Stone Tone.
Speaking of Stone Tone, they get a lot of press and endorsements I suppose but there is something about stone to me, that doesn't seem like it would have a lot of properties conducive to guitars, but what do I know.
This is old but very telling/helpful. The two main things that I learned about restringing a guitar is to stretch your strings before final tune up and give that string a nice 90 degree + bend before the wrap. If you do that part right, you should only have to wrap once around and it will prevent a lot of slippage which will in turn improve tuning stability. Locking nuts? I don't know what to say.
Yeah but its like. 12. That's double. That's almost like doing an oil change yourself and turning around and draining it just to do it again
That's like selling a car because it needs an oil change. But I kinda get it!
