I cann't believe Adrian complains of bruising forearms from guitar playin. You'd think he never got butted by goat horns, foot stepped on by horses, or even a kick in the rear from his woman for not cleaning up after all the critters.

Edit: I see what happened here, Adrian COPIED Bastard and I commented based on the copied reply and not his actual one.

Works well enough that the one in my current avatar is my second one. Great for live use, as it's reliable, and set for downward pitch only. It lets me drop tune on the fly, with no re-touch needed in the other five strings...ever. The whole bridge, and stopbar, move toward, and away from the pickup on silky smooth pin bearings so no bending or pressure points to create string failure with my "energetic" style of play live. Effectively, when you push the bar down you shorten the length of all of the strings, and relieve tension without a pivot point being in the equation.
Maintenance is a breeze, with locking tuners on both guitars, just a tiny dab of lube in the nut slots when changing strings...and she's good to go till the next string change.
Return to pitch is fairly reliable too...if anything ever goes out, it's the D string, sharp by 3cents once in a great while, but it goes right back in on the next fretted note(maybe a little bend). That only has ever happened live when I've decked the bar down to the pickguard(we occasionally play Possum Kingdom by The Toadies; the solo is all whammy bar, delay, and controlled feedback). A non issue for me, compared to having the ability to alternate tune quickly on the fly. That is huge for me.
Lots of people think they're ugly though. I don't care because they work for me. They have been so trouble free for me, compared to the Kahlers, the Strat styles, and the Floyds that I used during the first 20 years of playing, that I wouldn't think twice about replacing/adding another if needed.
 
Chili you should know by now I LOVE LP's --- the heavier the better!

I need to look into the stetsbar..........that ride on springs that go through the body as well like the other systems or no?
 
very interesting.........opens up a new realm of MODDING possibilities without HACKING the poop out of a guitar......like if you wanted a seriously good trem on say a Firebird.....or a jackson........jackson.jpg

Unfortunately, the pictured guitar doesn't have a stopbar, and there is no Stetsbar model readily available for that bridge type. I guess he has tried a work around, but I'm not totally familiar with the solution or availability.
They do produce models for multiple other bridge types though.
