How many people block your trems?

Just wondering how many RG and Jem users block their floating trems.

Re: How many people block your trems?

Right now it's 50% blocked and not blocked, but if I had more than 2 guitars with trems, the majority would be blocked.

Re: How many people block your trems?

None of mine are blocked. I never understood the reasoning in buying a trem-equipped guitar and then blocking it. Just buy a hard-tail
At least with the advent of the long-awaited Tremol-No we'll be able to enjoy the best of both worlds.

It means you can't play the trem anymore.

Re: How many people block your trems?

Well some people just block it so you can still dive but not pull up.

Re: How many people block your trems?

Technically speaking I no longer have any guitars with blocked trems. Even though they have the Arming Adjuster on them it doesn't really count. I used to block the trems but I find inconsistencies with tone and sustain loss(sometimes for some strange reason I'd get better tone but less sustain as the blocks seem to be absorbing the sustain. I didn't realize that until one day I yanks out the blocks so I could use the trem again)
