Anyone got a TremSetter?

[Bengal]

I've installed a few and that's been my expierence. The shaft doesn't move freely enough to allow the bridge to flutter. Maybe if I lubed the shaft. But right out of the box, it sure killed it...

But the job was to block the trem so that wasn't an issue at all...

I believe Steve Vai uses an Ibanez device no longer available, except for high prices on EPay. The Ibanez device looks like 2 arming adjusters put together

The Backstop

They kill flutter. That meaning: you can't flutter with them.

and as i said Vai has said he uses the Tremsetter and he has no problem fluttering his trems...so i guess they dont kill flutter or hes lying?

and i havent had any fluttering problems when i hit the strings hard with my OFR. i heard that could be a problem but i havent experienced it yet...maybe im lucky

I have the floyd made trem stop device on an 87 Kramer and flutters nicely and is a very effective trem stop.

If a guitar still flutters, then its not stabilizing the trem much, is it? That is kind of the point of these devices, to stop unwanted flutter while picking/plucking. But, they also make tuning, double stop bends etc easier. I still find a guitar won't return to perfect pitch unless you push down on the bar after pulling up the bar.

I don't think Vai has these installed on every guitar. That's why some flutter. I'm sure the ones with it installed do not...
