EADGBE Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'v been thinking about a Maestro equipped guitar and I'm aware of the limitations of the tremolo. How is it with light strings, say 9 - 42 and even standard Eb tuning? Does the Maestro require more string tension to work reliably. I'm not afraid to add a roller bridge if that's the solution.

BigKahune Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 . I've had 9s on my 65 MM with maestro trem for years - no tuning stability problems. Just make sure you've got no pinch points at both ends. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EADGBE Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks for encouragement. Answering my own question. Got a Gibson Jeff Tweedy SG with maestro. Stays in tune like any SG with 9's tuned Eb (which means ok but not perfect). The quitar is simply great, both looks and sound. And Maestro is so much better in than the Bigsby B5 in my Tele.

Guest Farnsbarns Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 9s? In Eb? That must flap about like a washing line? You must be able to bend strings just by glaring at them. Joking aside, why 9s and half a tone flat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
