This video refers to strat all instruments ranging from 7.5 fretboard radius up to 9,5 but even more and will also work on the 6 saddles - Hudba
Thank you now my start is rocking like never before...
Signor Frudua,
I have read and seen many dozens of Strat setup methods, but yours have been the simplest and most successful of any I have seen. Thank you SO MUCH!
--J. D. Schultz, Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA.
Congratulations, You Sir, are now know as an authority on the subject of tremolo set up. I saw one of your video's today and then I was another website and there was a link to go here. As well as that, there were comments of people from the website that also found your information to be very helpful. And me,...I'm just a guy who likes to type.
Frudua...Went to your site. Love your work and craftsmanship. Have learned "ALOT" from watching you videos. Built my first strat style guitar with many tips from you! TY.
Hi Galeazzo your videos really are helping me a lot, wow i finally use my tremolo on my fender squier
Thanks for these videos you upload.They are great help.Excellent job!!!
Glad being of help!
Incredibly informative. Thanks very much.
Awesome! Thanks for the help.
Very good Javier!
Excellent video!
this is really clear, thanks for your videos :)
@fendertender1 check your top lock if it holds the strings tight. Just pull a string behind the nut and check your tuning. You might also replace your tremolo springs with a good new set.
@lucascopin Just tighten the screws on the back of the guitar and retune. Do it till the basplate of the tremolo is how you like it.
@fendertender1 Hi you just have to have the two pivots replaced and the Floyd Edges sharpened. Simple!
Good idea!
This guy really knows his stuff. I got more from this vid than any other I've seen...
This worked perfect thank you soo much.
:D
@s4wgb It always work but youo have to perform the rest of the setup for this gauge of strings.
@FruduaTv ty!!
Talked to a luthier who knew SRV's tech. Instead of drilling the string holes (bad idea on a vintage guitar) Stevie's tech would use shrink tubing around the base of the string. It gives it something to glide on instead of binding.
grazie per tutto da Canada!
great stuff. has helped a lot of peolpe. May i ask if you have an idea on stripped thread in tremolo blocks. ? What to do /
This excellent video series has started me thinking about the setup on my Strat, which has been the same for many years. Many thanks.
Any recommendation on how many springs to use in a Strat tremolo (10-46 gauge)?
You're a genius! A true magician!
the best on the internet
love your videos. I just purchased a used Fender stratocaster 2006. I just learned the hard way to check to see that the truss rod works ! When I checked a few days after purchasing it, I noticed that the nut was stripped. I saw a tool online that is a 1/8 tapered hex that they say will allow you to adjust a stripped nut. My question is........ can we change the truss rod nut on a 2006 usa strat ? I know that fender sells the replacement truss rod nuts. Cheers !!!
thanks my friend super explanation, perfect berh
@originalMOON3R The new set of strings is pulling more than the original one. Even if they still were 009/42 they are slightly different. Nothing bad but you need to setup your instrument for this new set of strings for perfect performance.
@cobol11111 By straightening the neck a little more you are making the action feel a bit more confortable and once you get accustomed eith the sightly lower actio this will be fine. Allow one week playing. Resist. Also be sure the lower action does not affect your playing dynamic.
Hi
Good video. During the truss rod adjustment, can you give the height of the string from the fret in mm. I have a feeler guage so I would prefer to use that. Keep up.
@stratnuts hi dont know if u had any helpful replys yet but you have 2 options ether drill and retap a thread but you will need a larger diameter trem arm to fit ,, option 2 is to drill out the old threads big enough to glue in a lenth of threaded pipe with an internal diameter to match your trem arm threads .. may be less hastle to buy a second hand / used one off ebay or sutch hope this helps
@Guernseyopman The PRS Custom tremolo already has some of these mods by default. Check them in advance.
@00DirectorsCut00 The ones we use on the Exlusive guitars are the best otherwise some Sperzels.
@RLHubner. Yes check my other video
"How to keep your Strat tremolo in tune. Frudua Way "
I think this video is great ! VERY INFORMATIVE. HOW ABOUT YOU MAKING ONE ABOUT TREMOLO BLOCKS & what to do /or not to do when fitting / buying & types of ect. ect. ? THERE ARE LOTS OF US OUT HERE THAT I'M SURE WOULD BENIFIT FROM THIS.
@Kitarraman La procedura è esattamente la stessa solo la parte relativa alle sei viti va saltata e va controllato invece che piloni e lame ponte siano ancora affilati.
Hey I am learning quite a bit from you videos. Thanks. Do the same rules apply to setting up a PRS Custom 24's (1987) tremolo for the best overall performance?
@cobol11111 I I understand what you mean tha answer is no. Adjusting the truss rod involves some retouch of the tuning but not so imrotant to affect the floating of a bridge to the point to make it flush on the guitar and you no longer able to pull
@hockeyjockguitarist It works with any kind of floating tremolo go ease
@FruduaTv thanks, ill see if it helps :) thanks alot.
hi Frudua.
i have a Suhr s3 ....with buzz feiten system installed from the factory. can you give us a lesson how to do intonation my guitar for this system, using a normal strob tuner (not with peterson that uses programmed offsets). thanks
You are pretty helpful to me.
@master64k Yes you can
@JuxExpress This depends on many different factors but try at least 3.
Thanks, it's a really good video.
I'm having problems now, because I've just bought a new bridge for my strat, with tremolo, and I've also changed from 0.9 to 0.10 strings...Now the bridge is too tilted towards the neck, and I don't know what to do...
Good!
@brdevilzyan Yes please check my other videos same channel "Set up your strat for best tremolo use part 1-5"
Yes
@zifirblues Does the problem raise both if you play a fretted note or open string?
ty very much. I'll watch it.
Some suggest for machine head replacement for a MIM strat? Use the same 'fender vintage' or something better? (please make some example or link)
thanks :)
ok, i have a 50s road worn strat and it has a v shape tremolo configuration. what are the good and bad things about the v shape, im thinking of getting a 5 straight tremolo spring like eric clapton
not without drilling and wood filling. but you can put a super-vee on any 2-point or 6-point tremolo strat. does the same thing, just better.
Ciao Galeazzo, complimenti per i tuoi prodotti e le tue capacità :) Volevo chiederti, il video in questione può applicarsi anche ad un ponte strato 2008? Quello a due pivots per intenderci.. Grazie :)
@stratnuts Not sure what you mean... no threads of shich type?
ciao thnx for the video
@FruduaTv thanks, I may have had too much relief from season change, damper.. I turned truss a fraction tighter . The neck is a bit straighter now which I like. Am I sort of correcting my problem by straightening the neck a little more ??? thanks
i used a couple more springs on the back of the trem and put pencile lead in the nut so it stays in tune for me 97% of the time
does this also work on a floyd rose guitar? (i have a ltd kh-25 wich doesn't stay in tune)
@chimpautan Hi this is actually a NON-problem :) If you check the videos these old players they bend at hell and at the end of the solos almost all of them strikes the tremolo arm to go back in tune as I explain here. See Ritchie Blackmore videos for example here on the tube. BUT if you want to get rid of this you can mod your guitar as I explain the series of 5 videos you see here in the channel "setup your strat for best tremolo use".
Can you put a floyd rose on a vintage tremelo guitar?
@stratnuts Could be a good idea.
You're welcome!
hi, if you want to set intonation at 12th freet, you have to do what in this video after or before'? ty
@FruduaTv having to use ptfe. tape on trem. arm becuse there is NO THREADS left in the whole ???
i put new srings (9-42) on my new guitar and the tremolo bridge was bein pulled upward so i added a 3rd string. its a lil harder to move the tremolo will that effect anything or is that normal? im new to the tremolo im used to around (11-46) or heavier gauges
@00DirectorsCut00 intonation is always last step. See my dedicated video.
@MrEgonomist HInI am preparing a vidoe on this matter. Sorry for late reply.
@FruduaTv Mr. Frudua, what if you have a Floyd Rose and the guitar still goes out of tune? like on my ESP whenever i dive bomb goes out of tune alot. Aldo when i pull the whammy bar back it goes to a higher tuning then normal. why is that?
I have a MIM Strat.
I can use the tremolo only bending the notes down without going out of tune.
The thing is that, some days ago, I could anything to the tremolo that the guitar would not go out of tune. I really don't know what's wrong, and I'm not making much money right now. Any tips on what could do?
I already did all the things that you have shown in your vids apart from the things that take money to do.
Thanks a lot.
@FruduaTv will tightening the truss a 1/16 turn allow the tremelo to fall back a little? I have the same issue with my deluxe strat, the trem usually floats a little but is not pulling up more with tuning.... help..
are you familiar with the hagstrom full contact tremolo? if you are, do you know if this method works for it?
thank you!
I already did those steps, I think it's the nut. It is too large and deep for my strings.
Thanks for your help anyway. When I have time I will do everything you instructed to guitar, after all, I'm a bass player ;)
can you be my personal luthier?? haha.. awesome vids, awesome person!
@stratnuts What you mean exactly?
Galeazzo, hi! i am sure many people asked you this, but, i am a blues player mainly and i bend a LOT! with you rsystem, every time i bend, specially my G string, it goes badly out of tune. It goes back to tune if i press the arm but its not possible to do it all the time. What do you suggest me to do? i want a floating trem....is there another possibility to steup the trem? Thanks a lot!!!
Would these videos work on a Prs Se Custom 24?
@FruduaTv waht I need is advice on my e-mail about having NO THREADS LEFT IN MY TREMOLO BLOCK on a Vintage STRAT. Options are too many for me to know what to do for the best.I would like to here your comments on this subject as it must have happened before .
@Creed24Nickelback Certo
fender deluxe (1999) has already resolved this????
thanks
@master64k Everything shown here will make the guitar perform better. :)
Posso applicare tutto ciò che dici alla mia PRS Se Santana?
Do you know Borat? Nice! I like!
Is your "thrust rod" broken too?
What if we have a broken trost rod? :(
very nice how much?
Does this work with 12-52 strings?
@GordanTrace What?
love the vids, but the camera really shouldn't follow your hand up and down the paper - almost got sea sick. Tripod would make for better quality video. Great information however.
@stratnuts Pardon?
@SuperGuitarMark every non locking trem
I am studying about the stratosphere and ended up here.
@00DirectorsCut00 The original will be fine.
@motorhead1995able Sborat.
IMO friction is almost everywhere where the guitar is not properly setup and prepared to avoid it. :)
@Doubledare51 well expert village is a joke :D Frudua is one of the most skilled italian luthiers...
dude your accent is awesome, i love how you say tremelo
"Treymeylow"
that is so badass
@tennisnewbie121 :)
the ones with rollernuts...
"return to its perfect bitch" Lol love this video
