Members blackba Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 Most fender strats I have played would be way out of tune, that is one of the main reasons both of my fender strats have the bridges locked down and I considered a hardtail. I will say adding 5 springs helps the fender bridge alot. I played with a guy who had a jap strat and did those dive bombs all the time. his guitar stayed in tune very well. I have a comtemporary tele with a locking bridge for the ocasional times I use the whammy bar, which isn't very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rig-talk.com Posted August 31, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 And as an added little bonus, here's a clip I just recorded using the Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cutaway with P90 pickups.

Yeah Brian, I always blocked in the trems on my Strats. ALWAYS... But I think I might leave this G&L as is for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tonemeister87 Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 the reason why most people get strats is to get away from the whole divebomb thing right? Get a Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't knock my Legacy Special out of tune. Even the American Deluxe Fat Strat with locking tuners and an LSR nut I had was hopeless. Both G&Ls I've had have been very stable. It's taking me a long time to gain enough confidence to use it live after playing Fenders so long, but I'm getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
