How do I make sure that my tremolo system has the least amount of tension on the guitar body? 3 springs or 5? Floating or docked?
I'm building a custom guitar that I cut up (see photo). The surprising thing is that when I cut it it still feels sturdy and strong no wiggle or anything which was shocking given the modifications. I like to use the tremolo for guitar drive bombs but now I'm a little worried that if I use the tremolo arm too much it may break off the body and I'll ruin this (IMO) beautiful guitar body. Maybe I'm being paranoid but figured I'd look into things I can do to avoid this.
Also, what do you think given the picture? Should I be worried? I looked at semi hollow cavities with tremolo systems and it seems I may be ok. Thank you.
