Help finding a guitar

[SixStringSuicide]

Im in a band now and we experiment with a number of different tunings, and with my dinky that i have now, its quite a pain to unlock, tune, lock up, etc etc so I may have to part with it in search of a more versatile guitar. Im looking for something that has 24 frets, tremolo, non locking nut, locking tuners. The only idea i have now is the EBMM petrucci signature and a prs ce24. Anyone have any other ideas for me? Thanks guys

a non-trem guitar really is much easier to do quick tuning changes on.. (not that that helps you much if you need a trem [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

I agree with Yabba.
In the live situation, changing tuning, if the trem is floating,it will mess the tuning.
I had hard time when I had a guitar that had bridge floating adn unable to tune in minutes.

I would recommend you to go with non trem model for lower tunibngs and keep your Dinky for certain tuning like regular or E flat or D.

What about blocking the trem so it won't raise the pitch? Set the tension to the highest tuning so when you down tune, the bridge won't drop.

Buy more guitars. One for each tuning. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

that's the best approach, if possible (or at least the most fun one [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

I'm a spokesman for the one guitar per tuning thing as well, but I am also a spokesman for the Jemsite.com method of blocking a floating trem. Quick to install, quick to uninstall. It instantly turns your guitar into a hardtail, and it tunes like one too. Highly recommended.

Sounds like you need this killer new product Tekky and I saw at NAMM called the Tremol-No...turns your Floyd equipped axe into a full floating trem, a dive only trem, or a hard tail with a simple turn of a set screw...very cool! It won't be available til the winter though. He was gonna give me a proto to try out but didn't have a spare one since he only had 100 protos made by the machine shop and 85 of them were being tested by other guitarists [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] But I tried...
