I disagree. My most recent example is a Brian May. Uses a Wilkinson Wave (basically their 100)BroccoliRob said:but i still don't understand what the point is for a not-floyd. pulling up on a non-lcoking trem is bound to throw you all kinds of out of tune. they're not ment to do that.
so they want the saddles perpendiculous to the body.... for the looks?

There are plenty of users who pull up on non Floyd tremolos.
Ha yes Jeff. One of the best guitarists there is and he’d rather build hot rods than play guitar . I wish I had a tenth of an ounce of talent that man has. The man can make a Guitar do things it wasn’t designed to do. Had the opportunity to meet him quite briefly. Seemed a bit offput as I asked about Guitar playing. Simply he said, forget it’s a Guitar, it’s a tool. Use to create what you want.TonyFlyingSquirrel said:stratamania said:BroccoliRob said:i just don't get it. it looks cool, but that's all

There's a guy who plays a Strat named Jeff Beck, just to think of one in particular...

A semi-recessed rout similar to the Wilkinson one could potentially work with a 510, because the studs would not have to be mounted in the recessed area. I personally find the semi-recess rout unattractive, but that's just me. Maybe we can explore that someday, but probably not soon.
As a point of reference, we sell very, very few semi-recessed Wilky routs.
The Aaron said:Like BR, I don't see much point of recessing a trem that 1) can't be yanked around like a Floyd*, and 2) would still have to be set up at the same height above the guitar, regardless of the how deep a rout below it might be.
And besides....we've already put R&D time into it, and it won't work on our bodies for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, routing a trem cavity requires the studs be mounted lower, and they end up dropping through into the spring cavity. It also means the bridge has to sit up quite high on the posts, relative to where the tops of the studs now are.
*You say you have a non-locking bridge that stays in tune as good as a Floyd. I say, give me five minutes alone with it. :evil4: ccasion14:
