Anyone tried a Stetsbar?
In the interest of all my guitars being non fixed bridge, am contemplating a purchase, they seem to be a great solution. Saw Snowy White had one on his Goldtop on the Wall tour. Apart from cost, any cons? Anyone shifting one?
Maybe I should just route the LP and Ash for floyds and have done with it.

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

No Silly; he means where you take it.
And no, have not tried. I heard about Brokeback Mountain.

So what is this Stetsbar of which you speak?

Re: Anyone tried a Stetsbar?
its like a proper whammy bar for a les paul, etc. they do them for teles etc too, but I'd just hack into a tele with a chisel...
so yeah it'll do proper octave down/up without losing tune. Liking the calliper but its really just for the odd wobbly when I can't be arsed to wobble my fingers....

Re: Anyone tried a Stetsbar?
that is a cool video. I can see why you like it.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

No great fan of wanging levers but the Dusenberg thingy on Ben's Gretsch is the best I have ever wobbled.
Would consider using.

Re: Anyone tried a Stetsbar?
yeah, if you don't wang much, the old bigsby style is satisfying I'm sure. The one in the 339 is great for slight wobbles.Slowy wrote:No great fan of wanging levers but the Dusenberg thingy on Ben's Gretsch is the best I have ever wobbled.

I can live without one on my LP, I can cover most ground with the PRS SE anyway and its got a trem on it that is almost as good as a floyd.
But then I'm not playing my LP, then I think oh I could sell the LP and buy a toaster or a ticket to the UK or something.
Basically I just need to stop grasping at whammys and go back to straws.

Re: Anyone tried a Stetsbar?
strings flapping on the fretboard is NOT a STUPID THING
geeze
geeze
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

I own a stetson - the second best part of living in Mexico (first being the food) was that it was perfectly acceptable to rock the stetson every day everywhere.
As for the answer to your question BG, no I've not tried one. However I do have a B7 & vibromate in the drawer, when I eventually get either a 335 or a Casino I will be fitting them. Until then, you are welcome to borrow both to at least stop you grabbing empty air...
