Seeexxyyyyy

anybody tried one though? the reason is i like to do huge divebombs, but the only test i've heard with a stets sounded like surf music with a bigsby... so i'm not sure it will fulfill my requirement D:

i've got a Stetsbar.  you can do pretty big bends with it, although not as much as with a Floyd Rose.  the problem is tuning stability.  with a good setup and some nut-sauce it can be pretty good, but it's never gonna be as stable as a locking system, especially if you're gonna be doing divebombs and such.  it can do more when needed, but it's best suited to wobbles.
