Davey nailed it.

Stretching strings is a lost art. I never see it talked about in forums, never.

Here is an interesting thing. My ibanez with the edge pro trem bridge has more sustain than any other guitar i have. That includes my bluesbird with the gotoh tune-o-matic /stop bar type bridge. I would guess most guys with floyd type bridges have not had the same experiance, but in my case its the most sutainful and resonant guitar i have.

All that said, they still kill the tone of a guitar!

I think you can mark that down under opinion.

I actually like the sound of a floyd on alot of guitars. I certantly did on my BC Rich.


It was also the best sustaining guitar I've ever owned. The EMGs sure didn't hurt that part of the equation though.

How many guitars have you played with a different bridge and then turned around and had it routed for a Floyd? I really don't think you could accurately say without doing that. Yeah, it's going to kill your vintage tone if that's what you're going for, but most people don't use a Floyd if that's the tone they're after.
