Rave review: Callaham Strat trem upgrade

Re: Rave review: Callaham Strat trem upgrade

It does do better, and gonzo: on an american deluxe strat that has locking tuners, and an LSR, it is indeed the last true mod that can affect tuning. That's why it makes such an excellent mod for that particular guitar; it's a one-stop fix for tuning and tone!

agreed, but i think that the more locked in / stationary / clamped posts you have, the stronger the stability. It's a significant mod, no doubt, but if you have a wiggly neck in any way, that can throw off the tuning a bit as well. My one qualm with the callaham system is that I cannot, for the life of me get the Low E string intonated... it's a 52 as part of a 12-52 set. (IIRC, vintage strats had 13-56, so how on earth did those get intonated?
