Re: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Staying in tune with cheaper hardware

Richard (errant_jedi) - 05 Dec 2003 10:32:20

I had considered zeroing the bridge against the body
and just using the trem one way, but I like the
floating vibrato. I do not really have a problem with
breaking strings and such because I actually don't
play very heavy-handedly, and I have a pretty light
touch on the bridge when I'm muting (so no noticeable
going sharp), though I know exactly what Victor is
talking about with breaking a string and having the
whole thing go wack. I loaned the guitar to a friend
of mine who broke a string and wasted half the show
trying to get back in tune. But, with the 11's on it
I think it'll be fine.
I think that the problem was pinpointed when the idea
of the lubing or recutting the nut was brought up,
because I can hear the binding when I trem and when I
tune.
