BAUOOOW
Ok, so I want a Universe real bad. They are gorgeous guitars. Reminds me a lot of my EC-1000 with it's black finish and white binding with abalone all over the guitar. I love it. But, I hate Floyd Rose bridges. I have several guitars with them, but they all stay at the studio, and my boss does string changes and tunings, etc on them. I hate them. I never really took the time to just patiently work with the bridge(s) so that I could learn how to tune them and change strings. I mean, I could get it close...but I could never get it to stay in tune. So, if I got the Universe, I would be blocking the trem.
Does that sound stupid? Blocking the trem? On a guitar like that? I mean, I just don't even need the trem though. I like hard-tail/stop-tail bridges. I don't use tremelo, at all. So, I was wondering how you guys would block a trem. When I bought an Ibanez S470 years ago, it had a the Lo-TRSII trem, and I just measured and cut some little blocks of wood and slid them into the cavity to block both sides of the trem. It worked great. Is that pretty much the best/only way, or does anyone have a better mothod? I was thinking that surely somebody had invented something by now that I could order online, or something. But I haven't really looked yet. Thoughts?
