tremol-no vs backstop vs ESP Stopper


hello,

I just purchased 2 guitars with Floyd Roses. I am waiting for them tobe delivered
I will have the use of the floyd but I remember that bending is pretty hard as most of the time the Floyd moves, detuning the guitar temporarily.

then I cam to the conclusion that I will need somethign to fix that...

the backstop seems hard to find but it is possible to get one...
the tremol no seems to be an interesting product
and more recently i came across that:

what do you think would be best to keep my axes in tune while bending and why?

thanks

The tremolno is totally different from the backstop and the arming adjuster, The tremolno functions as a stop tail or dive bomb only.

Re: tremol-no vs backstop vs ESP Stopper


the tremol-no doesnt use springs and hence can turn the FR into a fixed bridge
(must be better for the sustain then )

I get then that only a system using springs can be used to keep the FR intact AND improve the bending.

am i right?
this being said: the backstop would be the best investment no?

Re: tremol-no vs backstop vs ESP Stopper


I'm thinking about adding both of these to my new 6-string. I have the ESP I found on e-bay and it looks like I can put both of them on one guitar. I mean the Tremol-No has the arm between the top and middle springs. I could mount the ESP Stopper between the middle and bottom springs.

Why would I install both? The Tremol-No does not control balance on the floating bridge. But the ESP does control balance on a floating bridge. So the strings don't go out of tune as often. The Tremol-No does not do this. The Tremol-No only controls if the bridge will float or not. Or dive-only mode. If you had both installed, I feel that it would be the best of both worlds.

What are your feelings?
