Good calls on the Gotoh, dave - the whale tale is shallower and further back and doesnt interfere with picking at all, and the posts were wider - a pain when you dont have a drill bit of the correct diameter!

Got it all in though. This things very nice. Well put together bit of kit. No idea how it stands up to abuse though - I quite likely wont. Its locked down at the moment. maybe if the whim takes me.

In the winter I'm constantly wearing a hoodie because the house is kept cold, so whenever I play my Ibanez guitars with original edge trems I always catch the sleeve and get those unintentional warbling flutters! :chain:

I found a video of the steinberger ones trems the other day!

they bend all the strings down by the same amount of pitch so you can use them on chords, and you can lock it standard or any drop tuning!!!!! I want one!!!!!

I'd love to know how they work, very fancy piece of engineering

how about an off the wall suggestion ;)

these are currently in development and starting to interest me
http://guitarworks.thestrandbergs.com/


the current version needs an extra recess behind the floyd route... the next generation ones should be a drop in if they work out alright

Well found Wez, in fact I was going for a steinberger for my guitar, but I'm gonna order one of these next week.  Only thing is, the trem's are $400, and the fixed bridge's are $50, so I'm going to get a fixed bridge.

Titanium could be a good choice especially the alloys - titanium, tungston, uranium alloys are used in high velocity ballistic projectiles ( aka armour piercing shells ) I believe. Sounds ideal for a heavy metal guitar?

Yellow cake is about as hard as an actual cake. Your bridge would disintigrate when you tried to string it up. Its just an aggregated powder.

What's your point?

The point is it wont hold strings. Or shape for more than 10 seconds of resting your hand on it.

You basically want a sand bridge. Same sort of structural strength.

Now, an aggregated carbon nanorod bridge - thats another story.

titanium is used mainly in armours, it's too light and elastic to work effectively in armour piercing projectiles, i think...
Mule, MQ, Stockholm, CS, RY, MM, PK, ANB, CNB, AWP, CWP, PiG90...

too many? ;)
