fender strat
I have a fender that i never use anymore because the tremolo likes to go out of tune and i recently got an rg2570, i want a guitar with a gotoh tremolo so i've been thinking about putting one in the fender but i feel like i'd be killing resale value and kinda defiling my american strat, opinions?

Re: fender strat
Unless the trem is locking, then it will go out of tune when you crank on the bar. If you already have the 2570, then just let the strat be a strat.

Anyway I think it's a setup problem, the guitar tech in my area which is a fender freak setup his without going out of tune even if he's going divebomb with his strat, but it still goes out of tune after 4 or 5 dive but under normal usage it works really really fine.

Wouldn't locking tuners help that problem?

Re: fender strat
I've got a modified '74 strat that stays in tune perfectly.
Baggs Piezo bridge set to full float.
Sperzels
Ball Bearing nut
hs2/hs3/lil' screaming demon.
I don't care about resale though, I'll never sell it, even if it doesn't have enough frets.

Re: fender strat
Gotcha!
I'm not a strat owner so I was uninformed.
How is it that players like Yngwie and David Gilmour don't seem to have trouble with tuning issues?

Re: fender strat
The deluxe gets locking tuners and the two post trem, and will stay in tune with some trem use, but you start trying some Vai **** with it and the thing is going out of tune.
Try lubing the nut and check for any binding in the post.
