Combat bend detune on a Core Custom 24?

[Simon Godden]

I find that recently I am not using the trem at all on my Core Custom 24, and that I'd like to prevent bend detuning if I could. I should really have bought a hardtail guitar, and I may do so in future, but it would be a Mccarty 594 and I'm not sure about spending the £3,500 at the moment. I have a Les Paul and do frequently use that, but my PRS has hands down the best tone and playability of all my guitars.

What is the best way for me to ideally remove bend detune? Is it safe for me just to tighten the trem screws as far as I want to? Any better way short of buying a hardtail?

Add more springs.
Wood block the trem.
Hipshot Tremsetter, ESP arming adjuster, etc

Thanks - after a quick YouTube, I shall wood block it.
