crafty Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Anything with a "whammy bar" is NOT A HARDTAIL BRIDGE: The Stop Tail/Tun-O-Matic, Trapeze tailpiece, Tele bridge, Strat Hardtail Model Bridge, and the Ibanez JS-2000-style Edge bridge are all HARDTAIL BRIDGES. Anything with a "whammy bar" is a TREMOLO BRIDGE: This includes the Floyd Rose, Bigsby, vintage/modern Strat (standard) with Syncronized Tremolo, Wilkinson, Ibanez JS-1000-style Edge bridge, etc. In short, there is no such thing as a hardtail bridge with a "hole" for a "whammy bar" because there is NO WAY it can ever function as a tremolo bridge. 95% of the time, if you see a Strat, it's a tremolo bridge, not a fixed bridge. The only, and I mean only, way you could ever mount a bridge with a "hole" for a "whammy bar" would be to disassemble the baseplate from the block and mount the baseplate hardtail style with strings going through the body. But it's a waste of money to do this because you'd have about 50% of the parts not being used and a stupid hole and plate tab taking up more space on the body. OTOH, it would be kind of a neat faux-trem installation, or you could do it with a Floyd-copy in order to gain the fine-tuners, ala the JS-2000.

bowser Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 should the first one say, "Anything with OUT a whammy bar is a hardtail brigde" ? otherwise its pretty much the same as the second 'category' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum5545 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 About the LEDs on the headstock: If you have enough room for this, it might be worthwhile to have a mirror behind them, and "frosted" plastic in front, just to get maximum light out of the LEDs.
