Question about a Floyd equipped guitar....

When doing a bend on the 'G' string and then simultaneously plucking the open 'e,' wouldn;t the open 'e' be out of tune since bending the 'G' reduces the pitch of the other strings????

Perhaps this????

I've not tried a trem setter but have heard they are good in that respect, so long as properly set. I did consider for my Jackson, but decided against as you can no longer utilize "flutter" trem effects with one installed. You have to drill a hole in the guitar body to install the trem setter. Ibanez has a similar device that I cant remember the name of. If I think of I'll get back to. Cheers
Edit; regarding G string (or any string) bends putting all other strings slightly flat, adding spring tension can alleviate this problem somewhat. Cheers
 
I don't know I kind of like the look of that Sunburst. I'd be interested in knowing what they are going for? I like that model.

Yes. That type of problem is a classic complaint with Floyds.

Ivan mentioned extra springs for stability.

Extra springs are supposed to help with this a little, too. I cannot say from experience, though.

Thanks, V_1,

I'm really debating this...I never really liked Tremolos, but have performed some songs that needed the effect....

I am curious.

While lurking this forum, I see you have a Schecter.

The Schecter is not strictly period correct for the 1980s metal music. But, it could meet the task. Why not just use it?

Two things - the first is I have grown to dislike the feel and tone of all 25.5" scale guitars...

Secondly, the EMG's, while a good "metal" pickup, don't give me good clean and/or classic rock tones, so I am looking for something a little different I suppose....
