    Great video! I really enjoyed the spring damping methods, since I've been using fret wraps for years now, but I didn't know how much the tremolo springs contributed to the noise. I can't remember the last time I picked up on set-up/mod tips that I actually didn't know from a video!

    Btw, velcro and cable ties are awesome not just for dealing with mechanical noise, but also as mutes for unrequired strings while recording, or as string dampeners for bass guitars. 👌

  • @digitalchris6681
    @digitalchris6681 3 года назад +6

    Hmmm. An alternative point of view:
    Clapton used a trem Strat made hard tail with wood blocks but insisted on the springs being there in order to give the guitar a 'bit of twang'.
    Flamenco guitar players have always treasured the additional twang given by the strings between nut and tuners/pegs, and ensure that when changing strings, those bits of string string can resonate undisturbed.
    In previous decades, and with some current models, both acoustic and electric steel stringed guitars used a stoptail connected to the strap pin (ie a trapeze tailpiece) in order to maximise the length of freely vibrating string between the bridge and stoptail.

    Add foam in the pickup cavity. Fill it on all sides, no empty spots to remain. Big thickness boost in tone. Cuz less feedback. The pickup cavities act like smaller F holes.

  • @shash-onemanband6140

    I have used foam behind nut when I switched to 9 - 42 for lead from 10 - 46 strings. However, the foam wears out quickly. Velcro seems to be the next choice as you demonstrated. I will do that. Thanks for a good work.

    I have a ton of experience setting up, intonating etc....guitars over the years, and oddly I never factored in the strings ringing out on the headstock as a source of noise. I suppose some would simply call it resonance, and even desirable at times, but not always. Thanks for that suggestion.

    Huge props to you for this. even though it is 3 years old. the Velcro trick has so many usages and solves so many noise issues on the guitar. also, if some people, like me, thinks that the Black velcro takes away from the look of the guitar, if you get velcro with the adhesive back, you can just put some colored tape on the front facing side of the velcro. for my guitars with gold or Chrome hardware. I just use some gold/chrome metallic tape and bam...looks more aesthetically pleasing.
