Supervee

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and getting one of these (http://www.super-vee.com/) systems. I've got a bit of Blackmore fetish but can't stand the trem going out of tune so most of the time mine is set flat to the body with 5 springs.

I've tried guitars with Floyd Roses but I just can't get on with them so I'm thinking of getting the Supervee and maybe teaming it up with a tremelo-no.

Has anybody installed one of these??

I read their site and I have a lot of trouble believing that "friction-free" line. Maybe it comes with a time warp, too.

ive wanted one but never got the money to buy one but in there gallery i like the squire jagmaster with one on it i was thinkin bout makin an upright bass after a buy a good amp but i think im going to make a jagmaster

The other thought I've had when looking at it is how do you adjust your truss rod if that locking nut is blocking the adjustment hole?

the locking nut just pops in and out doesnt it?

1 - I've seen some threads about these so I know some guys have installed them. Personally I never had a problem with a stock Fender trem going out of tune. I too can't get along with an FR. I like them to stay in tune when i bend a string too.

2 - why is your truss rod adjustment at the wrong end of the neck?

mine's at the headstock, too

Ditto.

I've had my Strat (with vintage style trem) since 1984 and I've never had a problem with tuning... You just need to set it up properly...

Ok, guys. I guess new rule for me. I need to put one of these :mrgreen: in every post.

We installed one in my sons partscaster....It works really , really well , and I wouldnt even consider a Floyd after trying this one instead....The locking nut ( looks kind of goofy , but Ive gotten used to it) , have a hole for the smaller size wrench , I belive its the size of the US Fenders.You can either buy the adapter from them , or remove the nut when its time to adjust the rod.
Really not more difficult than removing the neck on a heel adjust neck...
He really use the trem hard , and have broken a few bars.The trem stays in tune , no matter how hard he uses it. Very easy to install , and well made...
