Re: Your Beef With Floating Bridges?

I have no beefs with floating bridges whatsoever, I´m a proud "whammy Wanker".

I may not use the Whammy as much as I used to, but when I do a Floating Floyd or Kahler is essential. And properly set up and maintained, they WILL stay in Tune as well as or better than any hardtail or non floating Bridge

Probably NOT the post you were expecting, ´eh

I very rarely break strings so my only gripe is the way that five strings go flat when I do bends, especially with double stops. I'm looking forward to the Tremol-No getting released soon so I can lock the bridge when I'm not using it.

That said, I mainly use the bar for vibrato effects and they sound more natural to me with a floating trem where I can go above and below the note's pitch.

But the post I like to hear! I don't know why some people don't like 'em. Probably the most reasonable suspicion, like you noted, is keeping the beast in tune.

I love my floating Floyds! Only small problem is maybe not as much sustain as a string through the body. Thats about it.

Re: Your Beef With Floating Bridges?

not as much sustain and a pain in the ass to tune other than that they are cool

I love all 5 of my G&L's, with the full floating Dual Fulcrum tremelo. They're easy to work, and do a great job of staying in tune, without a locking nut.

Re: Your Beef With Floating Bridges?

the tuning and double stop issues keep me away from floyds. I'd only play a 5 spring floater for the stability.

I like to change from E to Drop D anywhere from 2-10 times a day! haha...

I wouldn't use a floating trem enough to justify owning one, a 2 point would work fine for what I'd do, if I ever did it.

Re: Your Beef With Floating Bridges?

Use too many different tunings, and I don't use a trem anyway

Re: Your Beef With Floating Bridges?

I was at sam Ash a few years ago playing a beautful Strat w/t a 2 point
bridge on it. The guitar played sweet ,it was on sale and i was ready to pull
the trigger on it. But for some reason I have a bad habit/or just the way
I play? of resting my palm on the bridge. I noticed every time I was playing
a lead and started digging in it was goin' sharp on me ! :smack: So that
was the end of that. Another time the other guitarist in my band showed
up at a gig w/t a ibanez w/t a Floyd that he borrewed from a friend.
(his guitar was being worked on) well two strings where out, the fine
tuner was maxed out, And nobody had a Allen key. :smack: other than
that I have no beef with Floating Bridges.

I'm with Zerb. I love my floaty-Floyd. How can you set the world afire without a little dive-bombing?

But, the longer I play, the less I "need" to use it.

Re: Your Beef With Floating Bridges?

I hate trems! I'd rather spend my time playing than tuning. Give me a hard tail any day of the week. :smoker:

Re: Your Beef With Floating Bridges?

I'd like to own a floyd guitar, but I change tunings and like to use different guitars in different tunings. I can't stand the amount of hassle of tuning them, even though I love how you can go absolutely nuts on the whammy bar with them.

Re: Your Beef With Floating Bridges?

I keep my Strat with a Kahler in full float. Lets me do that 80's trem wanking thing, but more importantly (for me), it lets me do nifty feedback tricks.

I blocked the trem on another Strat for the alternate tuning thing.
