Dylan Talks Tone Recieves Commision From Some Of These Links
I came for the shorts, stayed for the tremolo wizardry. Love the tech tips.
Very cool method. On a similar subject, I decked the trem (can only lower the pitch) on my 23 year old Squier Strat by using a hard rubber “shim” under the trem plate. I don’t understand the physics of it, but the guitar is now almost as loud unplugged as it is plugged in! In addition, the Strat tones are now super Stratty. This thing sounds great…. all by accident.
I purchased my SE Silver Sky Maple from Sweetwater. I had the guitar PLEK'D. The action is incredible: no buzz, no string choking, intonation is spot on. The fret edges are "dressed;" no sharp edges. And I don't find the neck finish to be a problem . . . ! I think you're "nit-picking!"
I learned this from Friday back in the day. Thanks for the update
I set up all my Stratocasters. I am going to try your method this weekend.
I started watching because of the information, but now I only watch for the shorts. I expect you to continue to wear them this Winter too 😃
Noted!
Thank you, I will re-watch this a time or two so I really get it. That is a beautiful color!
Thanks for your helpful instruction - it works! Happy floating!
Great tip! I am personally torn between between decking the trem and floating it. I like what you can do with a float but break a string during a gig…(without a roadie)…
EZ, get a 2nd strat and do one each way.
In addition to floating for a one fret pull at the high E and a two fret pull at the low E, I also bend the bar up so I can keep my fingers around it while I use my fingernails.
Fradua makes or used to make great looking guitars, nice to you shout him out.
Nice demo Dylan ! Guitar sounds great, I wish the neck wasn’t so thick.
Question: do you shim on this set-up? Why or why not? I set mine up floating with the post it/back out screws until post its drop out, method. Intonation and tuning are stable. However, I wonder about the Singleton noise ratio/resonance; Mainly, I think the guitar sounded better, and resonated more with the Trem decked to the body.
Does anyone else have thoughts on this? I am familiar with the fact that PRS and Mayer Designed the silver sky with the trem decked for greater acoustic resonance, but my ear is subjective, and I would be curious as to others opinions.
cool trick with the pack of post-its!
i love that color but i do wish they would have ambered that neck a little.
It would definitely look more expensive if they ambered the necks
I find having a little less tension on the low E string spring makes the bridge a little smoother.
Sounds Great!
I tried floating my Strat a couple months back after putting in a USA bridge. It does float, but you have to push/pull the trem arm VERY hard to get; almost to the point of being a hard tail floating bridge. I have a 6 screw bridge set up. Do I loosen those? Afraid of stripping those suckers out.
I’m thinking about putting a vegatrem on mine… I love the stock tremolo but I want more range
Nice video Dylan. Neat trick
2:15 Dude!!! It is always front to back, not back to front! Every single Nurse in the hospital, came up to tell me that when my daughter was born.
Very useful, thank you
how the spring plate is compensated with uneven screw? how do we know the correct amount of twist on the plate? (as of being how much tilt is needed)
When floating a Strat style bridge, I leave it parallel to, but above the body.
Hello everyone!!! A little late but I'm here.
I find there is a way way easier way to do this.
First of all, stunts like yanking that paper risks damaging the finish as the bridge whacks into the body so I definitely don't recommend that.
Anyway, my method takes a little more back and forth between adjusting tremolo springs and tuning and wiggling, but I still think it's simpler.
A strat style bent steel saddle bridge float should be slightly angled such that the back of the bridge is off the body and the pivot point is right at the body(as opposed to a more modern 2 point trem where the bridge is supposed to float parallel above the body).
Assuming you're doing the standard vintage style strat float, you want to tune it to pitch, wiggle the stick. tune it to pitch, wiggle the stick, back and forth until it stabilizes.
Second, play the open B, then slowly pull the whammy sharp until the back of the bridge touches the body. If you get an C#, one whole step up on the B string, you know your bridge is angled enough where you can get a nice flutter without the bridge smacking the body, and you can still divebomb low enough. this is the standard sweet spot, and this is what fender does.
If you bend the whammy sharp, and the bridge touches the body, and the open B is flatter than C#, it means your springs need to be looser to allow the strings to pull on the bridge more.
If when you sharpen the whammy and the bridge touches the body, and your open B is sharper than F#, your bridge is too angled off the body and the springs need to be tightened.
Go back and forth until you get the C# on the open B when the bridge touches the body.
Next, adjust your neck relief and saddle height,
then lubricate the 2 point fulcrum edge, the saddles, the nut, and the string trees.
Then to make sure it stays in tune, here's how to get equilibrium reliably.
Tune a string, wiggle the bar. Make sure it's in tune after the wiggle. Move on to the next string, repeat. Stretch the strings, then do the wiggle/tune, wiggle/tune up and down the strings. takes about 10 minutes or so. But once it's done, your strat style tremolo will be really stable.
My luthier taught me this method and it works a treat! To anyone reading, try it out and lmk if it gets you a good result.
Again, a strat style bridge should not be parallel to the body. The back of the bridge should be sticking up a bit. That's why the bent steel saddles are angled! you'll notice when the bridge plate is sticking up creating a triangle with the body, the stamped saddles are facing straight! it was all part of the design!
I'm confused. If you sharpen a B note by one whole step isn't that a C# and not an F#? Am I missing something?
@@airheads24 yes sorry. that was a brain fart. B up to C#.
You find it. :D And you can do it even more .... ;-)
can you do another video for the core Silver Sky?
It’s basically the same. I don’t have one at the moment
@@DylanTalksTone what happened to that beautiful midnight rose one you had and were raving about???
@@jackbandel I sold it a while ago. I am about to order another one. I miss that guitar
Frudua
too fiddly..... far easier methods to do this
was like watching a train wreck happening 😆
