Either would word of course, but if you're not going to use the bar I would stick with a fixed bridge.

unless the bar is set to float, I see no difference, honestly. if you dont need it, go with fixed though.

Fixed bridge is less hassle, unless you are using the tremolo a lot then go for a fixed bridge. However there are exceptions if you have the choice between a PRS style wrap over bridge and a tremolo then take the tremolo every time.

What is "twin lead"?
There is a big sound difference. With the metal tremolo sustain block you get less of some lower mids. Most of the times this is an advantage, in particular if you want to use neck pickups. There is some "boom" that is being removed. Of course for the bridge pickup that can remove some wanted body.

+1. Vibratos have a detremental effect on tone quality; less string viration is transferred to the body. And too many guys get carried away with them and that gets annoying to listen to.

Re: Fixed bridge or Vintage Tremolo? Just curious.
I'm puzzled. I'm seriously trying to understand.
What is the connection between playing rhythm and/or twin leads to the type of bridge you have on the guitar?
Is there any way that the type of bridge might help or limit your rhythm playing? or the twin lead playing?
:dunno:

Nonsense.
Tremolos with sustain block change the sound dramatically not not in a manner that's good or bad.
Heavy toploaded pieces of metal might be a different matter.

That's why i hate his threads. Every question this guy asks is either way too vague to answer, or is such a stupid question that any attempt to answer it makes you look dumber.
You can use a guitar with a vibrato, a fixed bridge, or a floating bridge, or anything to play hard rock and leads. Everybody has known that since the 50's. If you had to ask that then you lack important cognitive abilities.
Which would work? Depends on if you can play or not. I'll take one of each please.
