When considering tone, realize that everything from finger style or type of pick, to pickups, to body and neck wood grain, to cable to amplifier all the way to the microphone recording the sound will impact what you hear and how you hear it.

I never heard anyone say it gave their guitar an acoustic quality.

The string spread is 2.1". This splits the difference between the two sizes and allows the BladeRunner to work fine for either.

Awesome tone. At 4:20 he says all he's not using pedals; just the guitar, the pedal and the amp. So. . . what amp is he using? That's it! I'm very convinced! I'm getting a Blade Runner Tremolo on my Strat.

@ToneKingGuitarMan - Michael is playing through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. It also has that unique snake skin covering - not sure that helps the tone :-)

You can float the BladeRunner like any trem. If you watch what Michael is doing, you'll see he is doing some pretty drastic up and down movement, as well as subtle vibrato.  You can install the BladeRunner yourself.

Where can I get one? Sam ash and Guitar Center don't carry it. and Don't care for the Babicz Big ass logo on the Bridge.

@bubkusjones I decided that i cant live without a tremolo, so ill sacrifice the facility of changing the tuning in a fixed bridge for the dives and flutters. So in my case the best way to go is getting a Ibanez with a ZR bridge. I cant afford a guitar with a original floyd and after a litttle research i found out that it's the best non-original floyd as it can flutter and has awesome tuning stability. WHat do you think?

[Traconiz]

@bubkusjones Yup thanks!

[bubkusjones]

@Traconiz That's not an issue with the type of bridge, but of how you set it up. Any vibrato can be set to float (allow raising pitch), including the 6-screw Fender style, which is how it was designed to be set up, and with that, will come the more finicky tuning methods. That's because the bridge is balanced between spring and string tension.

If you set it to lower pitch only, like how many Strat guys set them up, or how EVH sets his Floyds, it won't be an issue.

[Traconiz]

can you change the tuning like in a normal strat tremolo bridge? Or its like a floyd = if you change one string it detunes every other.

@oswa0714006 I just installed one of these in my '97 Mexican made strat. It works great. Now the only problem is my guitar's nut which keeps causing the g string to out of tune when I whammy.

What pick-ups are they?
