Floyd Rose Trems are Awful

The only issue with the Floyd Rose is that they're not Mandatory for all guitars including acoustics which would clearly be vastly improved by them :)

Been a hard tail kind a guy forever...
But then I ended up owning an Ibanez with a Edge III..
Was almost impossible to deal with.. So I put a pair of ESP Arming Adjusters in it and its rock solid...
Cheap trem, $60 of parts, installed and setup and it has full functionality and even after driving the bar through the body, it comes back to perfect tune, every single time. It gets studio use, not live yet, not sure how long it will live with heavy use. But for what its doing, its fine.

I'm still a hard tail kind a guy... But sometimes its fun to step outside my norm...

They seem to have a hard time grasping the difference between "I can" and "I should".

Nobody should start a Dokken tribute band.

I feel like Dokken should only be mentioned in order to provide an example of exactly what one should not do. Like those scared straight programs.

That was precisely the point of my using them as an example.

Not that anyone SHOULD have a Dokken tribute, only that if one were so inclined, the list of hardware required to do so would be a short one, with "Floyd Rose equipped Super Strat holding the number one spot".

You wouldn't start a Jethro Tull tribute with a Clarinet, no matter how badly Flamencology wishes such a tribute were a reality.

Baimun has been itching to start a Sublime tribute with Banjos, but hasn't found any takers yet.

Some things just don't work no matter how badly you want them to. Sorry guys. Life let's us all down from time to time.

IDK. A JT tribute band could probably improve on the original simply by avoiding Ian Anderson.

I have given up fighting the Samsung automatic word replacement and correction bullshit. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It does what it does without any discernable pattern.

The other day, I saw a word on a LinkedIn profile that read "Practioner". I knew that couldn't be right, so I texted the profile owner and asked "Is 'Practioner' even a real word?".

As I hit the send button, I was suddenly fraught with uncertainty because this contemptible and infernal hunk of plastic and glass didn't so much as question the non-word I had just typed into it. Not a peep, no correction, no self substitution. Nothing.

This then left me no choice but to Google search "Practioner".

Guess what?

Google, in it's smug condescension had the unmitigated audacity to ask "Did you mean 'Practitioner'?"

It seems I did Google, it seems I did.

Sonofabitch.
