Tremsetter and Fat Finger (Fender Stuff)

[Kac]

I've got a question about the Fender Hipshot Tremsetter
Is it only for 2 point tremelos and floating type bridges?

And the Fender Fatfinger... This one is pretty new to me, I have never known anybody who has ever used one. Anybody more informed about these and if they actually help with sustain?

I just like buying kool stuff for my guitar (it's spoiled)
Your help is greatly appreciated

I started a thread a while ago about the tremsetter. The General, er, unanimous consensus was that it felt awkward, is difficult to install, and makes the trem feel very stiff and that it's a waste of money. After doing more research, I tend to agree.

Thank you very much, my spoiled strat will never see one of these tremsetters, Anybody with insight on the Fatfinger is welcome, It's not really something I'm seriously considering, but it seems interesting to me..
I doubt that it does much of anything.

the fat finger actually should work quite well, I was thinking of geting one for my strat. The added mass to the headstock does add sustain to guitars.

Heh... apparently Fender bought the rights to Fatfingers. Those have been around for a long time, but just now I see them on Fender's site. What don't they own!?

Anyway - those should work pretty well. Any time you can clamp more mass on the headstock, you gain sustain.
