h20rider Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'm ordering a new (Warmoth)body that can be routed for various bridge types. I have a pristine vintage bridge (six screw) but wonder about any advantages to eith the two pin Fender or maybe even the Wilkenson. I don't use trem much...but want the option kept open. Probably use the wood block technique for a temporary hardtail set up. Thanks for any replies that I gert before I commit to routing option.

Hunter Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Well, floating bridges = Pain in the ass for tuning. IMO, I think you should go with the vintage trem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemleggat Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 The american 2 point system is really good imo. It doesn't go out of tune if set up well. The six point system can't really be made to take to much abuse. I like the way the 2 poiny one looks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h20rider Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Thanks. I'm still vacillating (not vaseleneing!!!). I've given some consideration to abandoning the Fender bridges in favor of a Wilkenson. I appreciate the comments. Re: the "abuse limitations" -- I have seen two different strats' vintage bridges get strained and sprung. Also, I hear about the POTENTIAL tuning limitations of the floaters. Anyway, all the info is great to get. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
