Floating trem noob checkin in. :ROTF: of the 12 guitars I've owned and sold in my 5 years of playing, only 2 had floating trems. All I know about the floating trem on my Dk2M is that its a JT-580 or something like that. How can I make it
1) smoother to operate? Are there any different/better than stock springs that I can replace the stock ones with? I played on a XPT700 (ibeenhad) over the weekend and noticed that the trem arm moved much smooter than mine. I know that the edge III is the crappiest of 'em all. but still I liked how it played.
2) If I install heavier guage strings, do I need more springs at the back? I am using 10's with standard tuning but plan to de-tune 2.5 steps lower and will go for 12's.
3) I read somewhere that the ZR trem on the Ibanez's are amazing. Zero resistance! Can I replace the JT trem on the DK2M with one? Is it worth it? Or even possible? I dont want to re-route the guitar or something.
thanks
