krazyderek Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 ...or you could just lock your Tremol-No, and use your trems fine tuner to drop you to D. can the fine tuners do that? i seem to remember trying and failing, they just don't have enough range, but i do agree the d-tuna and the tremol-no would be perfect for each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 If anyones interested ive got a drop D tuner im looking to get rid of - the normal EVH one. The spring is missing but Im sure I can find one if someones interested. As for the Drop - d using the fine tuners idea, its possible on some floyds and not others (eg: not possible on my edge equipped RG550, but is possible on my schaller equipped charvel). I think it depends on many things aswell...string gauge, scale length etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tremol-No spokesmodel, Rob Keeler, has his 3120/LoPro setup this way. He's super-ninja at it now, and can drop to D before the lead singer finishes getting shot down by the hottie in the front row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I've never seen these d-tunas in real before, but I guess they should work something like this. If I'm wrong please tell me so... By pulling the lever back, the long allen screw moves up, so it lowers the tension of the string, so it lowers pitch. But with a floating bridge it will cause to detune every other strings, so to use this device properly you should lock your trem one way so you can only lower pitch.

El Dangerouso Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Easiest way is to use a hipshot. Stabilization without losing the two-way trem travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
