I have a few questions for those familiar with the EBMM Axis hardware.
First, are you able to pull up on the whammy and hear any upward pitch shift? With the nonfloating trem I figured pulling up would not do anything, but I do which makes me wonder if it should give a little or if it is not truely resting against the block.
Second, what is the block? Does the back of the trem actually come in contact and get stopped by the top of the guitar just under the trem?
Third, I seem to be having a hard time keeping the guitar in tune lately....perhaps because of issues related to my first two questions. Locked or un-locked nut and with no use of the bar, just normal playing with some bends on the strings it just doesn't hold tune like it should. Locked and using the bar it definitely goes out. The other Axis I had a few years ago never ever went out of tune.
Fourth and last, how the hell do you get to the nut under the trem for the whammy bar? I am happy with the bars movement and I know it is the allen wrench underneath that adjusts how loose or tight the bar is in its movement. But it seems like something else is loose....like it vibrates a bit in its seat.
I think she just needs some fine tuning and I would like to do it myself if possible.
Thanks!
