there's another guy that did another experiment that came up with a bolt-on neck having the best sustain compared to set-in and neck-thru. it was published in a magazine, but here's the summary: http://liutaiomottola.com/myth/neckJointSustain.htm

There are lots and lots of under the radar companies that have obscure branding on them that are all up to the same level of build quality (although sometimes with inferior pickups or whatnot) because they all came from those factories, it's absurd

Er, perhaps to the average Miku fan? I dunno, they're totally ignoring the M1 synth for DS and 3DS.

How does that pedal even get made, anyway, Vocaloid is a Yamaha product. The licensing must be a hilarious nightmare web of whatever voice talent studio owns the voice actress/Crypton/whoever holds the art copyrights/SEGA/Yamaha/etc.

iirc when i opened my old yamaha drum machine there was a big korg branded chip in it. yamaha used to own the majority of korg

what would do what a stetsbar does (be a trem without any routing) that isn't a bigsby and doesn't cost me just about as much as the rest of the parts for a stupid guitar (i am at a loss). everything is expensive.

Tremolo's are stupid and useless unless you are Jeff Beck.

Are you Jeff Beck? No? Then don't ruin your guitar routing it for a tremolo. Setsbar is the only non-routing option I know of. So you would probably have to route it.

Just buy a guitar with a floyd rose setup if you want to be a whammy bar superstar.

i am looking for more of a jangly surf type deal. i dont care about divebombs or anything like that. i guess i could get a cheap strat or something

Ferrous Wheel posted:

Fax Sender, what kind of bridge does your guitar currently have? There are a few cheap flat mount options, though the Stetsbar probably works better (one would hope at least). Guitar Fetish offers a fake Bigsby that might work okay. There's also a few trems designed to fit on stop tail posts if that's what you have, but they're usually expensive and I rarely see them used which makes me think they're not very good.

gently caress the haters, being able to add little wobbles to the occasional phrase is a basic human right. I hope you're planning to set up the whole guitar accordingly though, particularly the nut.

im building a tele and also have an old epiphone les paul. i kinda want to know all my options because i already have the vague idea that when the partscaster is done i might want to start another project, and maybe that'll be the one that gets a trem of some type, if i don't slap one on what i've already got. i don't think the epiphone is worth putting any money into, but maybe the tele.
