    youre right, i saw that on a guitar, but i dont think that locking tuners are good for your strings
  2. Slaughthammer
    just filled the holes with wood and epoxy... looks much better now:

    the link doesn't work....

    am i wrong when i say that you've got to block your trem if you want to use the d-tuna? cause when your bridge is floating and you cange the tuning of one string, the whole guitar will get out of tune. and if the trem is not floating, it would not be the prob to detune all strings, right? corect me if i'm wrong, its 2:00h am

    locking tuners are a waste of money, because with a FR you shopuld have a locking nut, right? and if 3 a side or 6 in line doesn't matter, only optically
  6. Slaughthammer
    ok, than i'll be retarted, because on my only electric guitar will be a kahler FR style trem and i will not keep it in standart tuning (1 whole step down most of the time i think)

    it used to be beautifull, by now, ti's lying around all over my room, as long as i am working on it... as said, the wilkinson tremolo will be replaced by a USA KAHLER i got at ebay for 36 €(!!) but it is in chrome, so i'll have to change my complete hardware specs: Cort stature gold build in 1996 mighty mite pu's, humbucker replaced by a Seymour Duncan SH-6 distortion agathis body maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and here the links to the pics: http://fullservesite.com/slaughtha...ammer.../E-Gitarre-Body http://fullservesite.com/slaughtha...ammer...itarre-Hals.JPG http://fullservesite.com/slaughtha...ammer...-Gitarre-Saiten should work now

    just drilled the bushings out, the wood got more damaged than i thought... well, i tried to pull them out, but that didn't work. i'll post pics later
  10. Slaughthammer
    nice tool, but i think i'll just drill them out (the brutal way of removing it ;D) and then fill the holes with some wood glued in with epoxy and then drill new holes and put new bushings in them. i am afraid, that the wood gets damaged, when pulling them out i dont know if they should be glued into the wood, what do you think?
  11. Slaughthammer
    it can, for example if the temprature changes.... @GuitarMaestro: are here any more germans???
  12. Slaughthammer
    afaik locking tuners are just so locked, that they don't turn when you accidently touch them or hit something with them.... so while using a tremolo they are usualy not turned, so that wouldn't change very much. the problem is, that the srtings are not going easy enough over the nut, and after relaxing them, they won't go back to the original position if you coult build a nut, where the strings may go over w/o any resistance, than locking nuts woult be absolutely useless
  13. Slaughthammer
    i guess so, because all i've seen had a 74 mm distance between them, maybe there are some exceptions

    at warmoth, there is an exchaneging neck to turn a usual 22 fret/25.5" guitar into a 24 fret/ 28 5/8" guitar http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Necks/baritonenk.htm
  15. Slaughthammer
    yes, correct. i have a wilkinson trem.... it is much better than the fender trem, if you go to the pich possibilities. but it tends to detune a little after dive bombs... or a litlle more... in fact, after a dive bomb you have to completely retune your guitar (i have no locking tuners.... but i don't think that would change much but i have a roll nut and that changed nothing) but i have a little prob, i just bought a kahler trem but i cant install it, because the pivots are to small (M5), so they don't fit in the holes (1/4") that are there. can anyone tell me how to remove the metal pieces in the body (in german called "einschlaghülsen") where the pivots are screwed in??????

    i have a cort fat strat with a wilkinson tremolo system. i'd like to upgrade my guitar with a double-locking tremolo like a floyd or an EDGE, i can get them very cheap on e-bay but i dont want to pay money to a tech ro install it, I'd prefer doing it on my own. I think i'll have have to route a bigger cavity, there is a thread for it. but i'll hafe to refinnish the new cavity what would you recommend for that? next peoblem: the pins, where the trem-edges hit have a differen distance, how do i have to correct that? what shall i do with the old holes?
