Tremol no...... Anyone?

As for tuning a floating Floyd, one allen key, three machine screws, set your fine tuners to 50% and just tune up with open strings to ear. It only takes 30 seconds.

I also found you could sort of "feel" it, when set to fully floating, unless you had the setup bang on perfect (and even then).

Admittedly I'm rubbish at setups. ) But considering how many people think floyds are fiddly already, fitting something that makes them even more fiddly...

yeah a slightly "gritty" feel which no amount of graphite would help
I think unless you get the angle of the spring replacement piece absolutely bob on you always pick up a tiny bit of friction
Of course it could be just the install.. You are talking to a man who spent 15 minutes trying to solder the earth wire to the bridge before I noticed the allen screw....

Yeah that's what I noticed, the angle of the thing had to be bang-on to get no friction.

And you're talking to someone who once tried to adjust pickup heights... by ear... for a good few minutes unplugged before I realised being plugged in might be helpful. >:D<

I probably wouldn't like them, although they keep tuning stability of you break a string on a floating Floyd, I've tried normal Floyd block trem stops and they are awful - had one on a Charvel that arrived.Particularly, I don't like the 'Knock knock knock' you get from playing bends and using the trem, I find it extremely aggravating and it comes through on the amp too.Better springs, better set up for me. No way I'd go near one of those things. And absolutely no need for even tuning stability on a V trem. Over engineered nonsense for a problem that doesn't exist.

Not a fan then?

Any reasonably capable fool can fit one of these babies. I've got one in my Melancon and it is as handy as fk.

I would, and have recommended to friends.

I assume you were trying to judge the affect of the magnetic pull without the amp giving false sustain.

Yep that was it. Honest. >:D<

Howdy, Stranger!
