But tbh i don´t feel the single locking wannabe floyds are really worth repairing, you´d be better off getting a cheap double locking floyd off ebay for 20 bucks IMO.

Re: trem arm hole O.o
1. Proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation please.
2. You're better off doing one of two things: Blocking the bridge and not worrying about using the trem, or junking it and picking up something else. Best of luck, and clean your guitars every once in awhile, mkay?

Re: trem arm hole O.o
whats better about the doubel locking against the single locking? does the double locking make you stay in tune better? better tone?

Depends a bit on whether or not and how you use it, though.. if it´s set for dive only and almost never used, it shouldn´t be an issue anyway...

Re: trem arm hole O.o
I prefer the single locking ones myself, saves time doing string changes.

Re: trem arm hole O.o
^^ try it with the single locking and see if it stays in tune well enough for you. If it doesn´t, upgrade to double locking.

Re: trem arm hole O.o
That guitar you're building is one serious piece of crap from the sounds of it - nothing works like it's supposed to.
 Try finding a used Jackson JT580, that should work a treat if it fits. |
