[Flying v 67 - 68 reissue]

For instance this one:

68 reissue?

That's a standard off the rack model. Recommendable because of the ebony board.

That's one thing I was thinking about. The Bigsby's I've played on didn't detune too badly (at least not as bad as some strats I've played..). I've seen some roller nuts and rolling bridges' date=' but I dont know very much about them. Have you heard of these rolling nuts and bridges? I'd prefer not to go locking, I dont want to drill. not to mention the maintenance and crap that goes into locking nuts.

 

Btw, if I install the B5, it'll be with a Vibramate so I wont have to drill and can easily remove it.

 

If it'll just keep going out of tune and be too costly, I'll forget the Bigsby hahaha. I dont like headaches and I like money.[/quote']

I installed a Stetsbar on an Explorer just to find out there's an inherent problem with the travel distance of the string from the tuner to the nut. So found me one with a Kahler + locking nut for the whammy stuff.

I have 2 well adjusted strats. You can lift the instrument in the trem arm and they're still in tune. That's only a question of correct setup.

Roller nut on an Explorer? Sounds like major surgery to me.

If you install a trem on your Explorer you'll find out it won't stay in tune without a locking nut.
