ODavidIsCoolO Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 I am planning on buying a fender stratocaster HH, i cant afford the american $900 one so i am planning on buying the standard but i can only find it in tremolo, i was wondering if there is a bridge that will convert the tremolo into a hardtail without having to do any conversions on the body or anything Thanks for the help.

Mickguard Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 What I did to my strat was put all four springs on (all I had), tighten the bridge so that it was solid against the body, and wedge a block of wood behind the trem block (the springs hold it in). And I put the whammy bar away somewhere where I wouldn't lose it. Plays like a hardtail...but I have the option of restoring the trem if or when I want. Quote

ODavidIsCoolO Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Posted September 21, 2005 Also how could i convert a floyd rose to a hardtail i saw the thing on stewmac but is there anyway i can do it without buying that product? Quote
marksound Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 www.Tremol-No.com Not kissing up to the inventor or anything like that. Quote
Nitefly SA Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 that same thing would work with a floyd, put all the springs on it and put blocks of wood on either side of the trem block Quote
Kevan Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Hey, Kev.... Is this thing related to yours, in any way: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailp...er.html#details ←The Tremol-No is ***NOT*** associated with that product in any way. The device in that StewMac link REQUIRES drilling and possible routing, along with specialized tools (and sometimes a professional tech) to install. Also how could i convert a floyd rose to a hardtail i saw the thing on stewmac but is there anyway i can do it without buying that product? ←There's a tutorial here about filling in a tremolo cavity (see the main site Tutorials section). Many have used the "wood block" method with mixed success. The Tremol-No will be available in a few weeks and will solve your problem in about 15 minutes. Quote
GodBlessTexas Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 www.Tremol-No.com (and 2 demerits for idch for not posting it first. LOL) ← Any idea on when can we actually buy one? Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... Quote

RAI6 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Kev, do you have an idea how much they'll be going for? I'm not too fond of the $75 price tag on the StewMac one... Plus, you say it's a P.I.T.A. to install. No thank you, don't need that! Quote
Kevan Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 It's not really a PITA to install....if your last name is Nordegg, Suhr, or Brawer. LMAO. But seriously, don't take my word for it- have a look for yourself. Compare their installation to the Tremol-No installation: Tremol-No Instructions StewMac product Instructions You make the call. The Tremol-No will be about $60-65 USD, and will come with the Deep-C. And, you don't have to buy any special tools to install it, take it to a tech, buy extra parts because you run 10's, etc. Quote
