Hi everybody! I created this account as I'm about to finally buy the guitar I've lusted after for ten years...the Tremonti Core model
However, all the guitars I currently own have fixed bridges. I've never owned a tremolo equipped guitar but I've always wanted to. I just started doing research and I'm reading a ton of info about how double stop bends and bends played against open strings are difficult with a tremolo equipped guitar. Apparently you can put pressure on the bridge with your hand, bend (if it's a fretted note) the normally unbent string a little or even tighten springs to avoid or eliminate this issue. I've even read up on installing a Tremol-No.
I do use a lot of bending in my playing but I've noticed Tremonti does too and I don't hear any tuning issues when he does it. I'd really appreciate if anyone could chime in with their PRS tremolo experiences and if you own a Tremonti did you go fixed bridge or tremolo?
Thanks!
