![The Perfect Stratocaster Trem / Vibrato Setup [Floating, Flat Or Blocked?]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PjVXWyUGpwc/mqdefault.jpg)
I was a Strat player for 25 years and I’ve tried a lot of setups. This is very close to how I ended up setting one myself with all the years of trial I’ve had. The loosening the neck screws is something I do myself on any bolt on neck. Sometimes it doesn’t do much but I’ve also had it really improve sustain and sound and honestly it’s so easy there’s no reason not to do it every time you get a bolt on. The only thing I do differently is I leave progressively more slack on the top strings (from the 4th to 1st) where It has more wraps on each tuner as it goes towards the 1st string. I’ve found it does the same thing as the staggered newer US Fender and Sperzel tuners and puts less pressure on the string trees. I actually heard Eric Johnson mention it years ago and it definitely does help.
Good tip on the wraps from the 4th to 1st strings! I’m gonna try that myself. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this, I was almost discouraged to get a strat for myself since i have no idea how to set up a tremolo system, but after seeing this, i might reconsider my position on buying my first ever electric guitar
Great video, the neck tightening hack is simple yet a beautiful thing! Can't believe I've never done it, worked a treat on all my guitars. Nice work!
Not a guitarist. I just have all the time in the world. Now i consider myself expert on guitar.. You sir.. is my spirit animal..
The neck relief - what a treat! Love your outro - my kind of style and tone!! Good information!!
This was one of the most helpful videos I've watched, Done to the point. I actually don't use a tremolo so have my bridge flat, but it's always handy to know the process. Also never done the neck plate screws lol, will do this on all my guitars.
Solido! Thanks Boss Perfecto.
Thanks for the tip on the neck clunk. It worked just like you said. And the string tying trick at the tuner is out of site. Thanks again.
Sounds awesome 👍
Great video , subscribed 👍
The string locking technique works great but I would just change one little thing. Instead of going under the string the coming up and over, go the other way, over the top and down underneath. The reason for this is that you end up with the cut off tail of the string pointing down out of harms way. Doing it your way leaves the sharp end of the string pointing up and invites cuts to your fingers - Who needs blood and pain just before a gig....unless you're a punk rocker, right :-) I've used this technique for years and it is by far the best for attaching strings -period.(although these days most of my guitar have lockers :-) ) Thanks for a great vid and review.
I’ll try that, thanks for the tip!
Thanks bro...it's really helping me😋 👍🤟💪
the wrapping to trap a string is not needed. A Z bend is plenty and let the string bear on itself for 1 wrap around the post. Simple and secure.
Nice tone
Ako lang ba nakapansin ng bagong intro ni sir perf. 😍😍
Question: any guidance on how high the poles at the bridge should be?
Pag pinusuan mo to Perf gagaling na ko mag-gitara
I thought you have to set these so that the base plate is flat like a gotoh 510, and you can't adjust how much pull up there is without wearing the knife edges
Tip for you
Tune the guitar and then lift the string out of the nut and lube the nut , That way you're not dragging the lube outta the nut when you tune up.
Thanks!
Greetings and thanks. Just checking - this presumes that the guitar came already with a floating tremolo out of the factory?
This model comes with trem flush to the body
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro Sorry, I’m new to this, but does that mean fixed / unmovable.
dito ko lng nalaman ung technique na tinatali ng string alternative sa locking tuners, sa tingin ko parang effective naman 😊
Niice Vid idol ! Pero di na kaya yan ma a - out of tune pag naka locking tuners na?
question, is the bridge attached to the body in the part of the poles?
Hey Perfecto! As a customer thoroughly intrigued with the S801 you have there, I am interested in knowing whether the guitar stays in tune after the strings have been stretched. Hope this finds you well. Thanks in advance!
Stayed in tune during the end jam. Been playing it and it’s pretty stable so far. No wild whammy work tho
Nice work and great step by step instructions! What is your procedure for polishing the frets? Thanks!
Thanks! If it's really bad I tape up the fretboard (and pickups) then hit the frets with some 000 steel wool before going with the polishing compound
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro any recommendations on polishing compound?
Nice video, very nice sound, wonder what pickups you use? And where can I offer these 010 strings?
Thanx, Wil
These are stock pickups
Great tips! Just curious, how often do you do that neck loosening tip? Thanks!
You only need to do it once... Unless you take the neck off for some reason, then do it again after you put it back on and restring it.
HI Perf, what is your video setting in your action cam,..1080p or 4k?
2.7k at 4:5 ratio so I can zoom and crop
Tanong lang po . Balak ko po kc bumili ng elec. Guitar ano po mas maganda may whammy bar or wala? Bali 1st time ko po mag elec.guitar nyan kc acoustic plang nagagamit ko. Salamat
Thank you, really appreciate the info. How do you deal with the re-intonation after the adjustments? I seem to be struggling.
Patience 😉 And fine tune intonation in playing position, not on the bench
Thanks for getting back to me, I really appreciate the help. I think I'm nearly there.@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro
Sir perf. Pwde po ba kayo mag tutorial pano tamang gamit ng tremolo para mag tunog floyd rose?
Thanks for running through this setup.
I have a Strat, also with a 2-point tremolo, and I've been insecure on how to properly set it up...
Should it really just be set up like on any other 6 screw Strat tremolo?
The 2-point plate shouldn't be lifted slightly off the body, sitting parallel like that?
With the way you set this up, how will regular string bends be? Will it pull the remaining strings out of tune?
Also, you mention to use the 2 bridge bolts, to raise or lower the action, but what about the 6 individual saddles? Shouldn't they be adjusted as well?
Thanks.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.
A) Not sure what you mean by the first part of your comment.
B) String bends will pull out of tune depending on how stiff the springs are. If they are soft and active yes the remaining strings will dive when you bend
C) Bridge bolts to adjust action | Adjust saddles to follow the fretboard radius
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro - Hi there,
Thanks for answering my question.
A) I mean, the bridge, should it be raised a little, so it's off the body, sitting parallel, or down to the body, then slightly tilted/angled?
B) Okay, but can that be fixed by tightening the springs a little further, or will only a decked tremolo work for that?
C) Alright, seems to make sense - I will check that out.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards.
I think he means, should it be parallel with the body or not? i.e. Sit tight on top of the body like a strat with a 6 screw tremolo, so its parallel. Or tilt it slightly forward so there is movement both ways.
@@patrickjamesworrow1130 - Yes, exactly this.
Thanks.
Sir Perf may simeng explanation ba kayo kung ano mas gusto niyo kung FR or 2 point?
Mas gusto niyo ba floyd?
What height do you setup the front of the bridge plate? Do you screw the two point studs all the way down and then adjust the action of each string using the saddle height?
I use the bridge posts to adjust action. Saddle height for radius
Sir, how good Sqoe guitars are? (Sqoe sest 230)
Sir Perf, di nyo natry kung nag flutter yung trem, kaya ba ma set up to flutter
Pag nabanat na ba ung string pag nag dive ka na nakaa 2 point trem, nawawala parin sa tuno?
sir, how do u fix po a 2point trem (no screw just pop in), there is a little gap or space before it responds or bites when i try to use the bar...
this might work ua-cam.com/video/COVjudcLLSw/v-deo.html
I have a g&l legacy and my action feels very high. The neck looks straight, the saddles on the bridge are at the lowest point. The bridge looks pretty parallel to the body. What else can make my action so high?
You might need to shim your neck at the heel
sir Perf yung measurement po ba ng slack sa unwound strings (High E, B and G) same lang rin po sa bass strings? 1 tuner past from the tuner na string nyo po? snaa po maganswer po kayo hehe
Yup
I never have to return after abusing whammy. I just either pull up on it or do some bends on the strings I know will be out.
Did you not put anything under the bridge?
Great.. But u missed 1 step here..u neeed to play hard fews times and tuning again and again until the tuning stabilise.. I do tht.. But i chnge standard spring to Gotoh
Kuya bkit Yung stratocaster ko napaka hirap mag bending Ang tigas Ng string khit gauge9 nmn at napaka baba nmn Ng action Ng guitar d ko na kse alam paano I balik sa dati Ang setup hehe medyo malikot kse ako. Ano po ba Ang ibang dhilan nito? Sa spring sa likod or what please help me po gwan mo Sana Ng videos lmat po
And God bless
Sir, Should I buy Fender Player FLOYD ROSE or 2 POINT TREMOLO strat? I am confused between these 2 bridge configuration
Floyd Rose is trickier to maintain and setup but if you accept that and are willing to work with it then there's no other tremolo that's more stable tuning-wise
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro ok thnx man
Good day PDC😎 Roasted maple neck yan?
Yup
I'm so pissed my GTRS isn't gonna be hear till August.
XD... The notorious G string.
Sir so pag gnyan po b ung setup nung bridge, maeencounter ung mga problema ng floyd rose? Eg: pag napatid isang string mwwla s tono ung iba, pag nagbend magfflat ung iba?
Yup, issue yan ng kahit anong floating bridge
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro ahhh.. bkt p kelangan ng FR ang mahal mahal pwede nmn plang gnyan haha.. cguro ang pnagkaiba lng bka mas madali maupod ung knife edge (or kung ano man tawag dun) pag nd FR. Pero kung vibrato/flutters lng ok n.. salamat s reply sir!
@@Kirobichi Mas malawak pitch variation ng FR
Hi sir perf. Is the 2 point trem system better than the 6 point trem?
Yep!
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro but why
sir perfecto may online guitar session po ba kayo?

ano po yang guitar tuner nyo
Mooer clip on
Ano pong tuner clip ang gamit nyo?
Mooer
Sir anu tawag s pinang polish mo s fretwire? ung dulo o bala ng drill i mean. Bili dn po kc aq and gawin q s gitara q. slmt
Felt wheel
@@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro slmt sir! 😊🎸
Perf pde b yan sa Awit ng Kabataan kht hndi sya floydrose? Pde yang tremo nya n ganyang standard lang...Thanks idol
Pwede pero kelangan adjust yung bend saka dapat naka-setup ng maayos
☝
I take it by your playing that you’re inspired by Steve Vai? Me too.
Yup! Vai, plus other amazing musicians
Absolutely love Vai, satch and all them guys. Maybe listen to some Jeff Beck as they will all say, they certainly did.
7 strings
haircut?
Manbun
Looks nice
Let's face it it's impossible to keep a floating bridge in tune.
It's not
Totally agree, but you can get away with no one noticing if you don't treat them like a Floyd rose in slag mode. 😃
why is the only important part 06:15 not showing anything useful. dissapoint
That's. Anyting.....w.t.f.??
The floating setup is wrong. The tremolo should stay parallel to the body. The one in this video tilts up almost looking like it was sustaining the string pull as opposed to purposely setup to be floating.
Pahingi ng gitara idol hehe
Bumili kayo mga kupal
Pahingi Ng guitara idol 😇
Bumili kayo mga kupal
Puri kayo hingi haaaaysss.. prove mo muna skills mo kay perf bago ka cguro bigyan haha
The set up tutorial where it is already factory set up so no need to tweak anything...great tutorial...really thanks for absolutely nothing bro'
how convenient the rear claw and springs are set perfectly...........thats 15 mins all never get back in my life. poser.
