oh ive got a squier hello kitty. got it as a birthday present from my frens. using it as a backup for my suhr ahaha. heres me caught in the act.
Hi guys,
I am looking to get a strat and hope to get some recommendations.. its more of a those with 2 humbuckles (is it called super strat?)
specifications:
-2 hum buckles
-floyd rose(if possible as i am a lover of the trem bar, without it the guitar will go out of tune easily with a few pulls right?)
I am not really into ibanez as i think their shapes are to pointy, would prefer something like washburn.. but are there local dealers?
thanks for any info, i am still new xD

haha. thats a fractured ring finger and torn collateral ligament on last finger ure seeing. didnt realise that i took a pic with all that ahahaha. nope its my main amp cos i use pedals for drive and it has a particularly good clean tone that takes pedals. i know all that get a better amp stuff but this amp with pedals beat a peavey ultra. im using a menatone kotb and foxrox zim for my drive needs.
I'd get a regular trem equipped guitar and install a tremol-no.
The hassle of changing strings on a FR equipped trem pretty much outweighs the tuning stability it offers now with the availability of the tremol-no.
Unless you want to do crazy whammy stunts, then that's another issue.

hahaha. yeah man had i taken out the bandage i would have a slide cos inside was a metal splint. it was an interesting journey having injured both fingers cos it made me analyse my playing alot.
before that happened i could never use a slide to play so during those times i had nothing but 5weeks mc from army so i had to do something so i got myself 1 glass and 1 chrome slide and learnt how to use em.
also due to the lack of 2 fingers i forced myself to learn how to use my thumb in relation to chording and fretting the thicker strings. and in learning that i improved my vibrato as well with the thumb over giving me more control.
and lastly ive got alot more chords in my dictionary which only requires 2 or 3 fingers.

Thats awesome bro. Very cool ways your trying that forces you to think outside of the box, also gotta applaude your spirit.
It'll stop the guitar from going out of tune from trem use.
You can't pull up though.
jkz:-
I won't say it will replace, but I'd favor it over a FR equipped guitar due to the ease of changing strings. Considering the trem won't go out of tune so easily with a tremol-no equipped guitar.
You can of course equip a FR guitar with a tremol-no as well.
Do a google search on it and read about what it does.
There are also reviews here on soft about it, maybe it'll give you some insight of how it performs.

Can't find anything anywhere that says a tremol-no will stop a guitar going out of tune from trem use. Besides, the strat trem can be set up for dive-only operation, without needing the tremol-no.
Sorry dude - I really can't think of what good the tremol-no will do for the strat trem
Please view the video and listen to their explaination.
If you're too lazy I'll sum it up here.
For strat trem + tremol-no:-
Set on dive only mode
String break, guitar will still stay in tune
Bending string X and playing notes Y , etc etc will not cause Y, etc, etc to go out of pitch due to bridge lifting.
In a normal strat trem, dive only mode, the above problems persist.
