You bastard
I hate people that don't buy guitars. I've never not bought a guitar in my life, and I'm not stopping now.

How is this happening?
And why more than once?
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Wed 19 Sep 2012, 15:05, Reply)

first one was my brother's, given to me as he got bored of it, a Peavey Predator Pro (paedy name for a guitar, but there you go)
and someone on freecycle is giving one away as 'the strings are broken and the plug on the amp needs changing'

Haha, bloody hell
So because they can't be arsed to change the strings, they're giving it away for nothing? Do you know what it is? Brand, model?
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Wed 19 Sep 2012, 15:16, Reply)

probably nothing special, but worth a look
i suspect that if i asked they'd have a breakdown. broken strings was another reason my brother gave me his guitar, to be fair it has rose flint tremolo locking (whatever that means) strings, so they're a bugger to change, took me all day as i'd never done it before

Yeah, Floyd Rose's are a pain in the arse

( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Wed 19 Sep 2012, 15:25, Reply)

i had to cut the strings and unscrew like two things and positiont eh strings and then screw them back on
and then one of them pinged off and i had to redo it and i didn't even know you're only supposed to take off the old strings one at a time so i had to retighten the coils as well

i felt like an engine man
(Quinton had to abandon other account as i broke it, Wed 19 Sep 2012, 15:30, Reply)

Yes, total pain in the arse
I was obsessed with double locking trems right up to the point that I got one.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Wed 19 Sep 2012, 15:34, Reply)

what are they for?
is it supposed to be ebtter/
(Quinton had to abandon other account as i broke it, Wed 19 Sep 2012, 15:35, Reply)

Just like most things with guitar, it's neither better nor worse...jsut different
The idea is that they're more stable than a regular vibrato system (like that found on a Stratocaster). If you really hammer a Strat trem, the strings will normally go out of tune quite easily. With a locking trem, the idea is that the strings return to their original position, make tuning much more stable. It all depends on how well it's set up though. My one was pretty good, but it still went out of tune with heavy use.
