In this video we'll discuss the difference between three popular tremolo's and my opinions on the different features of each bridge.
I'm using a Jackson Dinky DK3 equipped with a traditional Floyd Rose, a Strandberg Boden OS Original with a proprietary Strandberg bridge and an Ibanez J Custom RG7CST equipped with Ibanez's Lo Pro Edge tremolo. Also included are samples of my own playing demonstrating each one of these bridges.
The Jackson and Ibanez are both double locking systems and will be slightly more stable than the Strandberg system with only locks at the top and has a zero fret and traditional nut. If you really abuse the Strandberg it will go slightly out of tune.
The feel of the three systems is very different as well, the Jackson's Floyd being the least accurate for dipping down or pulling up to a specific note, the Ibanez somewhere in the middle and the Strandberg probably being the best. The Strandberg system also feels very different from the other units, being bouncier and lighter feeling.
All three units are fully floating so if you break a string your guitar will be horribly out of tune and you'll have to stop, change the string and fully retune.
