what about those big ole tremolo blocks

My guess is that the problem is there's nowhere for the vibrations in the trem block to go.

It's just floating in a cavity and anchored with floating springs. So any energy that travels through the bridge will dissipate very quickly. If something the size of a trem block was installed flush to the wood, sure, it would probably help sustain, but mass alone won't do it.



That should make it more obvious.

Declan MacManus posted:

The problem with trem bridges is that they aren't fixed to the guitar, with a trem there is always a part of the bridge that is floating. Basically because the bridge isn't screwed tight the vibration from the strings doesn't transfer as well.

Look at that guitar in the middle. When the guitar is being played, wouldn't that rear strap button face upwards? Because if it is, lol at having to catch your guitar from falling out of the strap every 2 minutes.

Hell even if you put in strap locks, the screw would eventually come back up and out of the guitar from the weight.

Great design, Ed.

To be fair, Man'o'War probably commissioned them to be built that way. Some people will not listen when you point out design flaws in their ~~*~~Dream Axe~~*~~, it's pretty irritating when you build it as they want and they moan about not being able to reach the upper frets or it being hard to play.

the whole guitar body is 180 gram virgin vinyl. It had to be standard black instead of a graphic picture disc because everyone knows that picture disc guitars sound like rear end.

If the strap goes around the waist and then over the left shoulder (as straps tend to do), then the strap wouldn't be straight up-and-down, it would be pulling from right-to-left. Plus people don't typically hold their guitars at perfect right angles to their body. I mean, some do but usually you have it at kind of a tilt. The strap lock would prevent the strap from popping off, the angle would prevent all the weight from being distributed to the screw.

The guitar's still stupid, though.

Why is the whammy-bar (for want of a better description) only on the G and B strings? Is that a home-made d-tuna on the first E string? I cannot fathom this guitar.

Also I have just finished the 'design' for this guitar I'm going to build, however I've done it on A2 paper and my camera won't take a decent picture of it, so I'll put it into a CAD plan when I've got a bit of free time. This guitar is going to be stupid.

i was so busy looking at the bridge, the piezo thing (my guess was optical or midi output, and see the screw holding the cable in place? jesus) and the kill switch I didn't even notice there's no neck pickup

a shameful tele
