V. 6-Hole vs Std. 2-Hole

Bill Moffat (brine_iac_x) - 03 Mar 2004 11:22:43

Does the Strat. vintage 6-hole trem. bridge really have better tone
than the Std. 2-hole trem bridge? While I'm considering options for
this guitar, has anyone replaced a 2 hole with a 6 hole? Is it that
the Squire bridge is inferior quality?
I do play it hard, working out on a lot of tremelo picking.
I have a CIJ Squire Stagemaster ("Strat") and after playing it
constantly since mid-December, it's breaking strings and going out
of tune. The strings, never the same one, always break deep in the
bridge.
It has flatwound 12's, it's nut was professionally cut fo fit, and
springs are on all the claw spaces. I lubricate the nut trees and a
touch on the bridge with graphite lube.
