Pics of your Floyds?

It must be because I'm a bass player, but when I palm mute, I usually rest my thumb joint on the body just above the bridge. Picking right at the top edge of the bridge pickup ring.
Anybody else?

I played TOM style bridges for 10 years before I got my first trem. I was able to rest my hand typically between the bridge and saddles giving various levels of muting. When I got my first trem it was an Wonderbar and then Ibanez that do not have the sensitivity a Floyd has, resting my hand was not a problem. When I got my first Floyd a few years back, holy moly! It was either change my playing style for this one guitar or get a stabilizer. The stabilizer won, the B. C. Rich doesn't get gigged with that much.

I also prefer either a trem stabilizer or a non floating Floyd. (Resting on the body...EVH style)

Don't have my guitar with me at work, but as everyone has said set the plate parallel to the body. On some of the Ibanez Edge trems, you have to go by the bottom of the plate since the plates are cast and there is an angle between the bottom and top of the plate.

FWIW, I usually put one of these in all of my floating trem guitars, greatly increases stability while still allowing pull ups. http://www.fu-tone.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=70&products_id=222

I have tried the Tremol-no and honestly, I'm not a fan. If you have it set for full floating it does nothing for stability, and if you try to turn it "on and off" on the fly, it's really easy to screw up your tuning if you aren't careful when you tighten the screws.

I keep saying this, but I am going to buy one of these for my Floyd equipped Alvarez Dana Scoop.

I have a 2 guitars with both a tremol-no and with a trem setter.
Honestly, I have set the tremol-no to the locked position and haven’t changed it since so I can’t really comment on it’s various uses.
The trem setter is quite the invention.
It basically sets a “zero point” that the trem always returns to. You can feel a little bump as you press and pull the bar through the set point. It takes a little getting used to in that reguard.
But you can use an EVH D-Tuna with one AND still have a full floating bridge!!
 
Re: Pics of your Floyds?

I've used the Hipshot Tremsetters and the Tremolo Stabilizer too but prefer the Black Box. IIRC the Hipshot Tremsetter requires drilling a hole in the back of the cavity.

Yeah, I think you’re right
The guitar I have it in was already installed when I got it.

As a player that primarily plays hardtails, the tremsetter appeals to me.

Another vote for the Black Box. Easy to install and easier to adjust.

Re: Pics of your Floyds?

BloodRose, what is that last body? I've always loved the late-era Kramer Barettas with the double-scooped body, but I've barely seen any other guitar like that.

It’s a Charvel.
The Baretta was a single pup only guitar.
 
Re: Pics of your Floyds?

Oh, I'm well aware that it is not a Baretta (there were Pacer Imperials with the same body shape, but the knob arrangement isn't right – besides, the body isn't 100% that shape), but that was he only guitar I was aware of that had soft, traditional strat contours and a double-scooped lower horn.
 
Re: Pics of your Floyds?

I was going to ask Bloodrose about the scalloped fret board. Looks nice! Tween a rock and a hard place!

Re: Pics of your Floyds?

Hey guys! The White guitar is a Charvel pro mod. The red one is a Custom shop Charvel. The board is not scalloped.
Its an ebony board with large frets...
