riffster Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 Hello fellow PG's, Has anyone had any experience with a Petrucci Tremolo? How was it compared to the Wilkinson? I have heard great things about both and I know that the Wilkinson is easier to get your hands on. I like the floating systems, but I don't think I want any double locking trems anymore, I'll just use locking tuners. Any thoughts? Quote
Xanthus Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 Are you thinking about this for your build? If so, where can you get a Petrucci trem setup without buying the whole guitar? The limited experience with the Petrucci trem was pretty nice. It was smooth to use and didn't snap back to position as quickly as some others I've used. I don't know if it would hold up to the repeated stress of a hardcore Floyd user though. Quote
riffster Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Posted May 11, 2009 I figured if I wanted to get a hold of the Petrucci trem that I could go through music man and get one. You could through Ibanez so I figured why not? Thanks for telling me about your experience. I am not really a trem abuser per say, but I do like to go nuts every once in a while. Quote
Quarter Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 You might have a hard time getting one from MusicMan. They typically are very tight with any of their proprietary hardware. Quote
riffster Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Posted May 13, 2009 shoot. In the future I will just consider the Wilkinson, but I give music man a call and see, but my hopes are not up. Thanks for your reply! Quote
ae3 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 You can get a piezo loaded wilkinson from graphtech, it's effectively the same thing as the piezo musicman. Quote
