Finally set up my Jackson to be backup for my stoner doom metal band, and I gotta say the tuning stability on this thing is just the best. I had forgotten what it's like to not have to tune your guitar after every single song. And if I do have to tune at all, I can get it perfectly perfect in like a fraction of a second. I even bough those Graph Tech Ratio tuners for my SG thinking the 39:1 ratio might give me something close to the fine tuning system on a floyd, but still it's no contest.
I am curious if I could find a guitar that fits the stoner aesthetic while also having a Gibson scale and also having a floyd rose or some kind of locking nut/fine tuner system. I do realize I could possibly get a Gibson TP-6 and some kind of locking nut for my SG... But then again mine is an ESP made lawsuit guitar, so measurements might not be exactly the same (probably metric instead of imperial, right?). Who knows, maybe I will look into that someday. But in the meantime, I'm just curious about what's out there! Anything come to mind?
I should mention: this has nothing to do with the floating bridge or using the trem, for me. This is 100% about tuning stability, I'm gonna immediately block the thing. I used to have an RG2228A that had a non floating locking """trem""" system, I'm surprised that never caught on.
