@destructocaster I'm glad you found something that works for you, but isn't it just as possible that you got *unlucky* with your guitar? All I'm saying is that I've seen and played many strats that stayed in tune really well without any aftermarket additions. It's very possible you just had a bad set up on yours. Just saying, don't be surprised if you see lots of vids and play lots of strats that stay in tune well. It's not as uncommon as people think.

@stoofbuis im sure that deluxe reverb over there cost 300 too... -____-

any guitar on a good amp souns good.

expensie guitar on a cheap amps sounds like shit

@rjg7000 i had a fender style tremolo on my guitar before the super-vee, i used everything on it and tuning was always a problem even after the cheap whammy bar broke and the bridge was useless. my baby stays in tune better than ever but i just think that this guy got lucky with his guitar

[rjg7000]

@destructocaster Well, I wouldn't say tuning stability is accomplished by adjusting the claw alone. And nowhere was it claimed that it was the only important factor. The entire setup of the guitar plays a role in the tuning stability. Setting your guitar up right can be the difference between your guitar always being in tune and your guitar falling out of tune just by looking at it funny.

The guy is a P*R*O*F*E*S*S*I*O*N*A*L M*U*S*I*C*I*A*N - and most likely....YOU ARE NOT. So, stop with crybaby "I call bullshit" comments, just bc you're too stupid & LAZY to fuck with your own setup and get it right doesn't mean he's wrong! WTF??!! Why the fuck is Youtube filled with smartass whiners on every fucking video post?? Im beginning to think this is a reflection of society as a whole...pathetic

[blahblahoww123]

@rjg7000 or a tusq xl! good point.

[semiLivedj]

Its like a B bender on every string.

[destructocaster]

@rjg7000 im just saying that all it was is just to adjust the claw? i never knew this was possible, i bought a $300 super-vee locking tremolo just for tuning stablility and after seeing this i question my own exsistance

[rjg7000]

@destructocaster BS on a strat staying in tune with moderate tremolo use? It's not like he's dive bombing left and right. If you set up a strat right, it can stay in tune just fine, assuming you don't go too crazy. Also, oiling the nut should be standard practice for EVERY guitar unless it has a graphite nut or the like. >.>
