2443.0. "Trem-setter for Floyd ?" by SALEM::TAYLOR_J (Anyone seen my air guitar ?) Wed Feb 19 1992 11:04

     Anyone have experience with a device called the Trem-setter ?
    It is attached to a floyd/strat locking trem system and supposedly
    keeps locking trems in tune.

    It's been discussed in here on several occasions, take a look around
    and see if you can find the previous notes on this.

    I tried dir/title= with very little success. There are a few replies
     but not alot of information. So I figured a note of its own might be
     a good idea.

I installed one in a strat with a floyd. The difference was negligable IMHO.

save the $15 or whatever it costs

     29.95 + 4.00 shipping through Stewart McDonalds. I rest my hand on the
     bridge of my Floyd Rose alot and that tends to detune everything. The
     device also claims to keep the open strings in tune when you'r bending
     notes.

It won't help you with the hand resting. You need to modify that habit.
It does not keep all the other strings in tune when you bend, it does however
stay closer to in tune than without.

$29.95?? Stewie Mac's is not what it used to be...I got mine for $14.95 two years 
ago.

    I bought one from Stew-Macs for around the 29.00 mark. It does tend to
    keep the strings constant during a good bend. However, for my style of 
    playing I use the "wammy bar" a lot and I've noticed that it tends to
    make the action less smooth.....more on the jerky side. I do a lot of
    steel type licking and passing chords during vocals and it has been a 
    bit of an annoyance. So, to compensate, I slow the movement of the bar
    on chords I hold making the sound more deliberate. It was hard to get
    used to but as I do more of it it becomes more controllable.
    
    In a word...I like it!
