Re: Rick Toone's revolutionary Strat trem
I've been gassing for one of these for ages, been a long time fan of Rick's work and unlike other trem or bridge innovations it looks like it should be a drop in replacement!

I contacted him a while back. He was still looking for a suitable manufacturer.

Had the same feature on my transtrem steiny, novelty wore off even for Eddie Van
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: Rick Toone's revolutionary Strat trem
Yeah, I had one of those graphite mofo's. Never used the trem, hated the 80's tone. It was however the only guitar I could walk around my flat playing without having to be careful of the headstock, even on the bog... Sold it to Hillage who still plays it...
