Re: VegaTrem
I always thought the staggered tuners were so you didn't need a string tree? I'm going with locking tuners and nut lube on my Kramer with the Vega so will see how that holds upGrantB wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 11:22 amInteresting - why no string trees?

Re: VegaTrem
if you have ever changed strings on a Rickenbacker, you will quickly realise that it's a wee bit difficult.NippleWrestler wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2024 9:36 am That's amazing. I never realized changing strings was that difficult... Maybe we're all just super smart.

Re: VegaTrem
Staggered tuners remove the need for a string tree and of course another element for the strings to get caught on when employing the trem.GrantB wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 11:22 amInteresting - why no string trees?

My Tyler also has staggered tuners along with a conventional 6 screw Callaham trem. Also keeps tune pretty decently ( no string trees ).

Re: VegaTrem
The trem on the strat is actually fine, whereas the one on the baretta is not
but I have had thoughts of putting one on the strat if I like it on the Baretta although it would take away from the 60s aesthetic I'm going for...Standing on top of the world

Re: VegaTrem
VegaTrem arrived this morning, no meetings this afternoon so hopefully will get a chance to install it, although I need to do the new pickup install and polish the frets first.. have already installed the locking tuners, not sure when the new nut will arrive..
*edit* nut just arrived, looks like my afternoon plans are sorted
