Meegs666 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 im thinking about buying a neck off of warmoth, its a seven string with a straight fender headstock not tilt back. i already own a strat and it has two string retainers on the four thinnest strings. i was wondering what i had to do on this seven string retainer-wise. would it be better to use a retainer bar like on the floyd rose equipped guitars (im using a hardtail)? i have no idea. ive seen the satriani guitars that have straight pegheads and he has a retainer bar.

spirit Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Satriani uses an Ibanez Edge Pro, unless I'm mistaken, which is a Floyd copy. Hence the retainer bar. As far as one vs the other, you'll need to wait for someone with more knowledge than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litchfield Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 But Satch also has a retainer on his fixed bridge models. I say do it. It will simulate an even break angle over the nut the way an angled headstock would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 They work well on Hagstroms too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
