    Decking the trem

    I keep mine *almost* decked, you can dive (with some effort) and get just the tiniest degree of upward bend. I only use it to add some occasional "motion" to chords. It's subtle but I like the effect.

    Decking the trem

    I was thinking that, too. Maybe he meant to say British Pounds? :-)

    Granted, this is a Strat, but it's an interesting approach to meddling with the tremolo springs...

    P22 Trem: Purchase imminent. Any thoughts?

    If murdering frets was a crime, I'd be in prison for life. We've all had days where the music flows with ease from our fingertips; and we've all had those "other" days where your fingers go staggering across the fretboard like a quartet of drunken sailors looking for the last open bar in town...

    P22 Trem: Purchase imminent. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for the comments, everyone: >Egads: I keep hearing that running the piezo through an acoustic amp or PA is the optimum way to go. Hopefully it does a decent job through a guitar amp because there are several occasions where that's the only option for me. >LSchefman: Yeah, I've noticed...

    P22 Trem: Purchase imminent. Any thoughts?

    So I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on buying a P22 Trem; just a few more pennies in the jar and I'll have enough cash. My main purpose for posting this thread is to hear any words of wisdom from P22 Trem owners (current and former) to help decide if this really is the right guitar for me...
