Members sammyreynolds01 Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 I agree that a whammy bar on a les paul doesn't look right to me. i actually like those supped up teles that kramer used to make with a floyd a la mick mars.

Members wankdeplank Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 Then there's people like me that float their trems but seldom use the bar. Still haven't found the wang bar to fit my 89 American and I've had it for a year. I just like the sound and playability better that way (as opposed to blocking or decking). I do use the bar on a couple of my Strats but very sparingly and mostly for surf tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t_e_l_e Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 a bigsby on a tele custom/deluxe is very tempting... also on a les paul it looks nice (see neil young) but a floyd rose type wang bar on either one is very very wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gardo Posted September 1, 2014 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 Clapton doesn't use a trem. If it's good enough for god............. Whether I actually use the trem or not just having those springs in the guitar gives it a good sound. The Strat sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted September 1, 2014 Members Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't object to either. I wouldn't mind a hardtail Strat but I think Teles are butt ugly (except the Thinline for some reason) so I wouldn't own one regardless. A Les Paul or SG with a Bigsby is something I could easily see, not so much a floating trem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted September 7, 2014 Members Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yesterday I was in a local mom and pop buying strings and picks and they had a Tele with a Bigsby installed. I have to admit I was intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chordite Posted September 8, 2014 Members Share Posted September 8, 2014 Not sure where you picked that up from?? Anyways here the Wikipedia Some electric guitars use a (somewhat misnamed) device called a "tremolo arm" or "whammy bar" that allows a performer to lower or raise the pitch of a note or chord, which is known as vibrato. This non-standard use of the term "tremolo" refers to pitch rather than amplitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The footswitch says vibrato and the control knob is labeld tremolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
