Re: Sound difference between blocked trem and stop tuno
I personally like the sound of a blocked trem with all the springs attatched. Fixed tails sound very "dry" to my ears. The tremelo springs will give a slight reverb type of characteristic to the tone and will make it less dry.

Re: Sound difference between blocked trem and stop tuno
I agree. Less steely and perhaps fuller and warmer than the blocked trem.
Really, I'm talking about the difference between a Strat and a Les Paul too though! :smack: I never had a Strat with a tunomatic and stop tailpiece!

Re: Sound difference between blocked trem and stop tuno
Thats understandable but given the difference of woods and a gazilion other differences one cant really judge by comparing fender vs. gibson.
Has anyone ever heard similar (weight + wood) PRS's, Carvins, Hamers (whatever)?
What would the difference betweenany two of those be? (i'm talking almost identical guitars, one with a trem, the other with a stop+tuno (or just a stoptail)

Re: Sound difference between blocked trem and stop tuno
I have no such experience. I just have a guitar that is made of Fender materials (bolt-on alder body, 25 1/2 maple neck with rosewood fingerboard) and Gibson shape and hardware (TOM+STP bridge, humbuckers, 10 deg. angled back neck). It should sound like a hardtail fat Strat but instead it is closer to the Gibson side than the Fender side. Imagine something heavier than a typical SG but less heavy than a typical LP, with some serious TWANG added.
