Matia Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 I've come across a Gotoh Strat Type trem in a secondhand store today... its boxed and has never been used and the asking price is 20 pounds. Is this a good price for this unit? I was thikning of getting it for a future project but dont really have any experience with Gotoh! Its a nice looking unit though... Anyways any help or informations most appreciated as always! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Well Gotoh makes the hardware for Ibanez, so go figure Even the lo pro edge tremolo is made by Gotoh! Gotoh makes high quality producs, so the quality of the trem is good. But personally I wouldn't want to get a strat tremolo even if I get paid for it If you don't like floyd rose tremolo's I would go for a wilkinson, but that's my opinion. If you don;t use the trem, but only as a bridge, than it's very stable if you put on 5 springs and turn the 2 screws way into the wood. P.S. I think 20 is fair... but look around on the internet for prices of new units and second hand ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matia Posted February 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 really? I didnt know that they made the ibanez stuff! I was actually just going to use it for a workhorse project that would reliably stay in tune to be honest. I myself do prefer the locking trems but can find it a pain to constantly tune them ( I can be very lazy ). So yeah but thanks for that anyways... I still think I'll get it as it sounds like a bit of a bargain. But no i wouldnt actually be using it for vibrato. Just a fixed bridge.
