Regarding this, can you install a whammy bar on any guitar?
All tremolo systems have their quirks, whether you use a Bigsby, Floyd Rose, two-point synchronized, floating or what have you. But a new system says it can deliver perfect tuning and accurate pitch bends on any electric…or acoustic, for that matter.
Similarly, how do you set up a Strat tremolo to stay in tune?
Subsequently, how does a Stratocaster tremolo work?
In a nutshell, “tremolo” is a variation in volume while “vibrato” is a variation in pitch. Pressure on the tremolo arm loosens the tension on the strings and flattens the pitch, while pulling the tremolo arm away from the body does the opposite, sharpening the pitch.
