Damn... I look kinda rad. Ngl

[Ginger Jesus 🇺🇲 @HatesYourMusic]

Holy shit.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@paultguitarist They're great when it's a good quality one.

I replaced the bridge on my Ibanez for a Gotoh GE1996T, and it does not go out of tune much anymore. The old bridge was an Edge III and it was cheaply made and had worn down knife edges.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

What are your thoughts on Floyd Rose bridges?

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@Rockvegas698 That's one way to look at it.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@YewOurKnotReel I don't consider myself an expert but I do know that the first culprit to tuning stability problems, once a proper set up is done, is check the nut.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

For sure, check the nut. The nut is a big reason for tuning instability woes.

It could be the bridge. Maybe the knife edges or pivot points are worn down.

[Lev Atate 🇨🇦 @jleighton22]

I love the playability and sound of this guitar but tuning stability is not good. Going to try locking tuners and a better nut.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@OmarBhoo @LaneyGH Yes.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@OmarBhoo @LaneyGH True.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@LaneyGH @OmarBhoo If it's the Edge III, that was not a good bridge and there's a reason Ibanez discontinued it. But their guitars are generally great value and their Edge Originals and Lo Pro Edges are great.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@LaneyGH @OmarBhoo Buy once, cry once.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@AlanBuck_DG @YewOurKnotReel The Edge III is terrible. That was on my Ibanez RG originally and it didn't take much to break it and wear those knife edges down. And I'm not a super aggressive user of those bridges.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@Rockvegas698 If you get a good quality FR bridge and it's properly set up, they should be stable. There are some things you have to accept with FRs, like: you can't palm mute too hard, can't change your tuning easily, can't do double stop bends properly.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@OmarBhoo @LaneyGH I want to get a guitar with a Kahler trem at some point.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@LaneyGH @OmarBhoo The Kahler Steeler Professional has that same thing.

A good quality Ibanez Edge is great.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@Rockvegas698 It's a nuisance on every guitar.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@LaneyGH @OmarBhoo You also are spending tons of money for those so more than likely they are getting higher quality stuff and it's getting extra care. It probably has a good nut, which is why you find it stable.

But when you buy an SE model, it's not like they use the best stuff.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@LaneyGH @OmarBhoo I cannot say for Wilkinson but I can for PRS and I respectfully disagree. The PRS doesn't have the range a good quality FR does, and it doesn't flutter well at all. Without a good nut, the PRS trem can be a tuning stabiliry nightmare.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@dtstp713 My Ibi with the Gotoh flutters like crazy. It's awesome.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

Yeah probably.

I'd be quite upset if my wife altered my guitars without my knowledge, especially one where I took pride in working on it by myself.

Plus, I like beat up guitars. Beat up guitars doesn't mean bad.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@JP_Liberty76 Perhaps.

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

Caress of Steel.

Once "Bastille Day" ends, the rest of the album is a snoozefest. I tried. It's either bad or it's boring.

[Michael Kelly @Mikehomeseller]

What is your least favorite album by Rush?

#mikesquestions #Rush

[Zack Attack 🎸🎶🎮 @ZackAttackP1]

@UnmitigatedGoll I think it's boring. It's better than Fountain but it just doesn't do anything.

But to each their own.
