clnh5 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Hers my question... i currently have a Fender USA Fat Strat, and although i like the standard trems on them, i have thrown 2 extra strings into the back,a dn then tightened up the screws in the back that go into the body...essentially making it a hardtail, blah blah, blah. I am happy with it but, i was wondering if there are any hardtail bridges that i could put in, that dont have to be thru-the body? In simple terms i want to replace my standard fender tremolo, with a hardtail bridge that doenst have strings going thru the body, but rather held by the hardtail bridge itself? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Quote
Kevan Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 There's a new product coming out that will help you with half your problem (turning the trem into a hardtail). I can't seem to remember the product name or the website address. Maybe one of the other members could help out here.... Quote

Yeah, it's called a piece of wood wedged between the trem block and the body of the guitar Or you could just purchase a Tremol-No and have the freedom and flexibility to use the trem whenever you want and essentially block the trem whenever you want. If only you could actually *purchase* one, though. When is it going to come out, Kevan? Quote
mledbetter Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Kevan.. are you talking about the conversion bridge from www.customshopparts.com? It's a plate that covers the cavity.. it's got flames on it though hot rod conversion thing. Kinda cool looking though. Quote
mushy the shroom Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 mled, he's talking about his Tremel-No.. sarcastic son of a woman. Quote
Kevan Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Well, I guess I'm busted. Yes- I was talking about the Tremol-No. (Mushy: only one E, my man). I'm going as fast as I can to get them out to you guys. We're doing license and factory stuff right now. As soon as that's done, production starts. Soon after, they'll be available online, and then in stores. It's so close, it's not even funny. I checked out that Hot Rod Convertible thing. Ummm...I guess if you don't mind drilling into the top of your guitar....and enjoy flames. What I love seeing are all these people going "TREMS SUCK! I'm gonna be a hardtail guy until the day I die." And then when trems do come back, they'll be stuck with their TOM's. Meanwhile, those smart enough, will simply be turning their trem "on". That thought just cracks me up. Quote
Mr.Churchyard Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Yes- I was talking about the Tremol-No. (Mushy: only one E, my man). ← I believe when he wrote Tremel-No he didn't mean your Tremol-No but my new secret invention, the Dremel-No. I can't give any details away by now, but it's gonna be a definitive improvement in your electric working tools. (Happy for you Kevan. I will be a customer, dead sure. F%&$ hardtails.) Quote
GregP Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Hardtails still have their place. I want some of each. Will the tremol-no be compatible with Steinberger R-type trem? Er... Just kidding. (I'll get me coat) Quote
