Blocking vibrato on Stratocaster
Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2010 9:05 am
I tune my Strat to Eb for some tunes and E for others. It's a drag when re-tuning because I have to fine a few times before the springs settle down. I think when I have the back of the bridge flush with the top the springs wont be impacted when tuning up (form Eb to E). I think the problem will be getting it so when I tune down to Eb the springs are out of the equation. Basically I want my strat to me a hardtail. Any ideas how to make this happen? Do I need to block off the inertia block from both sides? THanks in advance.
