has anyone ever converted a guitar from trem to hardtail. i have looked at the tutorial on project guitar but i will be converting a vintage style trem route. will the process be any different if so can someone help me out?

I found a used american made strat with rosewood fingerboard. It has the more modern blocky bridge saddles though. Based on the serial number, it appears to be an early to mid nineties manufacture date. The strat is up for sale for $625, and I've been wanting an american made strat but am...

I am thinning out the herd some more. These two guitars are for sale. I will snap better pics when I get off work. First one is a Samick Greg Bennet FA-2 Telecaster. This is probably the nicest tele I have owned. I fancy this one over most fender tele's. Here are the specs: Single cutaway...

Hey guys, im in the process of rebuilding a strat, and im gonna put a wilkinson instead of the 6 screws trem... The thing is i dont want this to happen: So i was wondering if i can do something like this: (pic borrowd from warmoth) I mean, i can do that, but would it interfere when i use...

I have no use for a floyd rose tremelo on one of my RGs. Can I easily remove the Edge3 and replace it with a standard Hard-Tail type trem? I'd be getting a luthier to do it for me, is it a big job?

So i've just come back from my journey picking up a Squier Stratocaster i bought, didnt cost me much , AND its Made In Korea :D now from what i've heard, the korean squires are actually good! :D its a type of guitar i've always wanted :D a Strat with a maple fretboard (ala' yngwie malmsten XD)...

Hi all, am new here, and very much like the forum. I have got a question about my spare guitar tho. Is an Ibanez GRX170 (a cheapie spare one lol) Now here is the problem If I use the wammy bar, the bottom 3 strings go out of tune, (i.e. E - B - G), and also since a couple of days the wammy...

Lately my Strat had not been staying in tune as well as it used to when using the trem. I then realized that my trem angle was not as high as it once was. I went back to this video (which is how I setup my Strat when I first got it) and presto! Once again I can go to town on the vintage style...

I have a Mexican strat that I've been upgrading piece by piece. I don't use the trem (standard, awful strat trem) and so it's blocked at the moment. However, I would love for it to have a Wilkinson on it. What is required to switch out the awful standard strat trem for a Wilkinson? Would it be a...

basically what i said in the title i used to be a floyd rose additct. loving the divebombs and all techniques that it opens up for you to show off and make you sound so much better than you are but ive suddenly become a devout lover of fixed bridges maybe someties a vintage style trem as well...

Got it from a friend for approx. 52 usd, nothing to shout out about actually but I'm broke and I need to have a guitar in D tuning :) anyway does anybody have the specs for this guitar can't find it around, the pickup is kinda muddy though, will change the pups to evo2/evo or two breeds...

I currently have a gibson explorer gothic model....not a single scratch ...hardcase..when i say not a single scratch i mean not a single scratch..MINT ...the only thing that is different is that it has a Diamond pickguard...The original was already ordered so soon it shall be here too ...

Hi everybody I have a Suhr Standard with a "strat" style bridge. I have a problem when using the trem bar to a bit of a dive, the return to pitch is slightly sharp and is most noticable on the low E and A strings. Neck bow, action and intonation are all fine, and the bridge is set flush to...

Hi all, I picked up a used RT650 in a beautiful transparent green (almost aqua) over a photo flame gravure top for $300. How rare is this? The neck pocket in the body and base of the neck are stamped RT650 and the neck also has a RT650 sticker near the serial number on the back of the...

I can get one with a hardshell case for 130. Any objections?

Alright, being the Fender fan that I am, i got a bit "steamed" when I saw the bash thread, and my first instinct was to race in there and be the voice of opposition. Well, I decided not to disrespect Ibanez2005, and run in there negate his thread off the bat, lol. I'll just use this thread, and...

As the title says, voice your opinion on why you dont like strats or any other guitar for that matter. Heres mine, Why are all fenders the same? Same neck, same finish, same colours, same sound. Cant they give us something new, did evolution stop with the Strat?

Wanted: To trade one or two Strats for one or two synths, preferably VA's, but I'm flexible. If I could trade both for an Oberheim OB-12 or a Roland JD-800 in good working order, that would be ideal. Description & Condition: The black strat: This came to me as a Mexican Strat that had a lot...

I changed my stratocaster's strings, 3rd to 6th string one at a time, but my strings keep getting out of tune, especially my 5th and 6th string and 3rd string. I kept tuning it. then i play with it more and it gets out of tune again. If i bend and use whammy bar, it gets out of tune even more...
