Re: Tremelo bridge?
My $.02
I've gone through all the trem recipes on semi hollows and hollow bodies
and landed on 2 solutions that I consider superior.
For a Bigsby type solution I prefer the guitar featish .com xtrem to the
Bigsby for a bunch of reasons. Firstly, it's half the weight. 2ndly the
string changing method is easier without add ons. Also the bar is a bit
sexier. I replace the bars with a duesnberg Bigsby replacement arm which
is adjustable. Killer.
If there's a stop tailpiece I like the duesnberg les trem II. It's smooth,
stays in tune and is like a lightweight mini Bigsby.
Of course, locking tuners, slippery nuts and saddles help everything as
does stretching the strings. Without those I wouldn't expect trems to stay
in tune. The stetsbar is a great idea that sucks tone out of the notes
above the 12th fret. It's super smooth and fun to play with if you don't
mind losing sustain.
