Floyds on all models??

[adamcrnll]

Ebmm doesnt offer floyds on all of its different guitars? If not, is it because an artist doesnt want it offered or is it a decision of Ebmm??

 

[Philip]

to make answer short

In case of artist models: because artists didn't want floyds on their models

In case of normal models: that was the decision of EBMM crew based on the different factors I believe (like discontinued floyds on Silhouettes)

I like Floyds alot, but the MM tremolo is killer too.

MM Vintage trem is the best! Good enough for Steve Lukather to switch from floyds....

+1 I have often thought the same thing, if i recall didn't Luke say that they stay in tune better than the floyd ??

 

[adamcrnll]

but ya cant put a drop d on the mm trem can ya? If your into that kind of thing that is.

 

[dfrady]

Just tune too drop d at the mahine head on the headstock.

 

[adamcrnll]

yeah, drop d or no drop d. i believe when i get my new axis im gonna become an addict!! if these guitars play and feel as good as they look, then hell yeah im gonna need rehab!! lol

it's actually easier to change the tuning on all strings without the floyd

 

[robelinda2]

bah, drop D is easy to do manually.

 

[Spudmurphy]

You can also get a drop d replacement machine head from Stewmac.
No idea if it would fit an EB though?

 

[TonyEVH5150]

It should. THey make one model that's a Schaller replacement. The major issue with it fitting is the baseplate.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

I think for most people the EBMM trem is as good as a Floyd without all the hassles involved.

 

[Colin]

I say ban the Floyd!

 

[robelinda2]

+1 Colin. not a fan.

 

[TonyEVH5150]

Don't knock the Floyd for those of us that still like and use it.

 

[Jimmyb]

It looks like the monthly Floyd vs vintage debate has started

 

[TonyEVH5150]

No debate here. To each their own. I personally like the Floyd for the style of music I play. I'm not a fan of vintage trems, but I haven't tried the MM trem.

Different strokes for different folks.

 

[Pablo]

For my use, a vintage(-y) trem is much nicer than a Floyd... I just wish MusicMan offered the Petrucci trem on all models - it is my favourite trem by a long way (though I also like Ibanez' ZR trem and Vigier's ball bearing vintage trem).

Cheers

Yeap, Tony is right. "Different strokes for different folks."
It's hard for me to think about a guitar without a whammy bar, it's just so fun to dive-bombing!
