Fixed bridge vs Edge Pro Bridge

[Screaming Wind]

What are the pros and cons of each type of bridge(floating bridge)?

[EKG]

It really just depends on your style of playing.

ok, thanks. can the tremolo bar be removed from a tremolo bridge? will this have any adverse effects aside from not being able to use the trem bar?

also, aside from 1 bridge having a trem bar, is there any other difference between the two?

The PGM300 and PGM301 are nearly identical, with the singular exception of one having a tremolo.

If you wanted to remove the tremolo from the guitar, why buy it in the first place? Common sense alone would dictate that if you want a tremolo, buy the guitar with a tremolo. If you don't want a tremolo, buy the guitar without the tremolo .

It's really not that difficult.

The 301 Got more wood in it because it has no trem and all the holes because of it(the springs in the back) so it's probably got more sustain..

pros of floating bridge = get to do cool whammy tricks, add expression
cons = alternate tunings are a no-no unless you block it.

10 REASONS WHY I LIKE FIXED BRIDGES

1. Intonate a guitar perfectly in less than 30 seconds (PITA on a floater).
2. Set individual string height.
3. Your palm resting on the bridge doesn't affect tuning.
4. Change tunings on the run.
5. If you break a string, do nothing and just keep playing in tune.
6. Less and easier general maintenance.
7. Changing strings is a breeze.
8. Only need 1 little bitty allen wrench instead of THREE.
9. Neck isn't weakened with 2 x holes drilled to accomodate the top-lok screws.
10. Approx 10% more tone wood in a guitar.

I'm not sure about your numbers and facts (10%? And by the way, you still need an allen wrench for the truss rod on a fixed bridge, so that's two total including the intonation adjustments, and I'm pretty sure the top-lok screws don't weaken the neck much) I agree with you overall...

But this isn't a debate

trem vs. hardtail is up to personal preference, nothing else.
