Silenced Fred Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Don't like the current trem on my strat, would either of these be good choices? I am hoping to add which ever one to my Christmas list http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar_tremolos/Gotoh_Traditional_Tremolo_for_Strat.html http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar_tremolos/Wilkinson_Gotoh_VS-100N_Tremolo.html http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar_tremolos/Hipshot_Tremolo.html http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar_tremolos/Wilkinson_Gotoh_VSVG_Vintage_Tremolo.html Any other suggestions are welcome, these are just a few I found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Yeah, the Gotoh and Wilkinson stuff is good. However, if you can spend the extra cash, this stuff is much better! http://www.callahamguitars.com/partsstr.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is necessary for like a Floyd Rose, but for the strat style trem, should I go for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first set is about 20 years old now and they still look and perform like new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Thank you I will definitely be looking at some Sperzels I think my whole Christmas will be for guitar gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 I just blocked mine and my problem was solved I don't really have that many tuning issues, I just would rather have a more stable system because it does get affected and I believe it is the trem, I don't really care for how it works either, it is a Fender licensed Floyd Rose-ish style and it just is weird, I want a standard Strat style for it I still want the availability of using the trem, but I want this to be the best it can, I figure with pickups, a new tremolo system, locking tuners, I will have about 350 total into the guitar so that's not bad for a guitar that meets almost all of my specifications.

Tim Plains Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm looking into one of these for my 513. Ever hear of Tremol-no? [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't I watched the video and I'm a little confused, is it a easy way to block and unblock the tremolo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Basically. Says it also gives you greater sustain (when it's locked) and keeps your guitar in tune better but I haven't tested it myself. I'm probably going to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to get one myself, but I don't know how much I would use it, I pretty much use the trem quite a bit when I play just for accents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
