Re: Any Tremel-no users here?
I never use those things tho because i need my bridge to be floating.. i sometimes hate how complicated i can be with this subject and which i hadnt discovered the bar in the first place lol but i feel crippled on a dive only trem or even worse on a hardtail.. im just a bar kinda guy i guess. With allot of trial and error and cussing i managed to get my strat, which had a standard non locking trem, to stay in tune even when doing crazy dive bombs and all that. With all that done it was too much of a hassle that i recently said screw it and took the ****ed thing out and installed an OFR.. my life is much easier now.
That said generally tuning problems like that start at the nut, tuners, string tree area but a tremol-no would help some since it would make the bridge fall back into place at the exact same spot all the time.. this always helps. You could also check your knife edges to see if they are damaged that would also help if you use the bar often. Make sure you tune "up" to pitch and instead of winding the strings down the post wind them up and in a neat coil without over lapping the string and raise the string trees if not remove em completly. Winding up will reduce the angle on the string so helping prevent the string from jaming in the nut altho it will rob you some sustain a bit, my strat didnt come with string trees installed so i never used them.. i found using as minimum string turns on the post helped too, 2 turns should be more than enough to secure the string in place if winded properly imo. Also using heavier strings and atleast 4 springs i found helped too for some reason... Seemed to make the whole thing steadier.
