Bullhorn64 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 it's a 2002 firebird III historic it's there is no space between it and the guitar and the part where strings are attached it is touching the metal and the strings have space between where the strings are held and the strings themselves which I read was not correct. And if you an tell how to post pics I know that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthanBrackett Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 yes, thats right. My Flying V is like that aswell the way this trem system works, its like a leaf spring. very expressive small action. its not meant to go crazy with. ALTHOUGH IVE PROVEN THAT WRONG hehe... try bending down with it, youll see it works still because the bending point is actually above the guitar.

Bullhorn64 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 You picture won't show for some reason mind posting a link to the page? I was reading the vintage ones have a small space between the guiar a vibrola, as well like said before strings should touch the the part the holds strings. And apparently is the past 6-7 years they have gone to ****... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthanBrackett Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 yeah the vibrola equipped guitars imo are just vintage awesome liquid cool sauce. a roller bridge would help minimize your string breakage, and also improve your use of the vibrola, but i dont think you can use them on your axe. BUT you got a big old stop bar as a bridge lol works better imo enjoy \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullhorn64 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yeah had a pro set up on it, dive bombs no problem 100% in tune classic banjo tuners stop at is stable with use has some lube to make it slide nicely on bridge and nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullhorn64 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 If anyone needshelp with tuning problems with vibrolas or firebirds just simply get a pro set up, it's most likely bridge and nut, just if anyone is going through hell like I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthanBrackett Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Honestly i dont mind it when mine goes outa tune.... you know Hendrix stopped shows so he and the band can tune. and they waited for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullhorn64 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yeah he was just to cool, like when he kept playing but changed guitars... Also know if you can get the spoon arm anywhere? Like Allen Collins used on the old grey whistle test, they look cooler as well as better grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
