  • Do D- Tunas work?

    Jackson is my favorite guitar company, but i really hate tuning floyds, and this limits me on a lot of nice guitars. i like to jump from standard to drop d a lot also so i'm wondering about D-tunas. EVH uses it so it shouldn't be that hard right?

    Yup. I have one on my 5150 replica parts mutt, and it works great. You have to block your trem to prevent upward travel though.

      MM, i don't fancy the Floyds myself either, so i'm using the Tremsetter in most of my Floyded guitars. If you don't know the Tremsetter let me know. It's perfect for drop-D tunings.

        Jackson1, you made an excellent topic about the Tremsetter maybe a year or two ago. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] Newbies, run a search. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

            I've had great luck with mine - live performance is a snap. Both of my Floyd guitars have them, and I have the trems blocked so they only go down - I haven't tried the Tremsetter with one.

              Hmm, I was thinking of using a Tremsetter with a D-Tuna on a project soon. If using both together, do you still have to have the Floyd resting on the body?

                the D-tuna sux i had it on my Wayne. for some reason you dont get enough travel if you use a 49 or bigger low E, so its almost D. & when its back in E you dont get a full range of tuning out of the fine tuners because the D-tuna is a big chunk under the bridge. it may work for other people but ive had no luck at all with it.

                  My low E is either a 46 or 48 anyway. Strange it doesn't accomodate thicker gauges.

                    They can't. Yet another old thread has been killed by death.

                    Frankly, it pisses me off that lots of great old threads didn't survive the change of board software. Had i known that threads could or would be skipped, i would have saved them to disk before the change. What a waste.

                    I am not blaming the admins of this board.
