    what tunning machines are you using? Did you have any tunning stability problems with the tremolo?

    • @hyenik
      @hyenik  17 днів тому +2

      Guyker - cheaper locking tuners from aliexpress.
      Tuning stability is as for tremolo, definitely not perfect like FloydRose, but usable with upgrades (roller bridge, nut, tuners...)

    Question on that bridge, as i think i have the same one: does it pivot when you use the tremolo? I was under the impression that the strings roll when you use the trem. On mine with a gfs xtrem, the bridge pivots like the stock tunomatic that it had

    • @hyenik
      @hyenik  6 місяців тому

      Yes, bridge is rolling. But not from start, it must be setted in motion (cheap china aliex bridge). Some rollers working, some not.

      What I've seen matches a tune-o-matic so you can leave it on. I don't think you get a new one but it's been a couple of years since I looked into it.
