I would be installing this on a strat with an odd fender tremolo on it, it looks kinda like a floyd rose and it is giving me problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Alright I will have to order one then, I have brought down the tuning issues to the tremolo, everything stays okay as long as I bring it all the way down and don't use it, kinda defeats the purpose eh?

deepblue Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Lube the nut, make sure the strings are stretched. Unless its locked at both ends its going to have tuning issues if youre heavy with the tremolo hand. On my Strats the most I could hope for was a bit of vibrato. Anything more and id be out of tune. The only saving grace as I have said was a bit of light oil in the nut slots or some graphite. If you really want a sweet system for your Strat look at Calaham. A much better system then Fender. Thats what I use on my Strats. http://www.callahamguitars.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on getting locking tuners and a different tremolo system, but I barely use it, which is making me have my doubts on what to do. Quick Question: any thoughts on if I put on a Bigsby? I know it'll look funky, but I like 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
