I have a Floyd Rose-guitar and I am not happy with the fact that the guitar does not stay in tune so well. I am considering installing a "tremolo stopper" which allows the tremolo bar only to be pressed down, not up. Will this improve the tuning issue?

The stability and sustain increases but also the guitar will be a bit brighter sounding but not very noticable. The trem. stop tip that I use is metal, so a small "click" sound happens when thetrem. hits back after use. I simply placed some thin but soft material to prevent that sound. |

Hello Sinclair,
I use one of these on my FR guitar. Works a treat  http://www.tremol-no.com/ Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

I've done the DIY approach. I used a block of wood that I attached to spring cavity to keep the trem block from pivoting forward. It's basically the same idea as the angled piece of metal. It worked but it's not very flexible. I've had better luck with the Tremolno that Phil mentioned. You can configure it to float, drop, or lock. And you can adjust if the need arises when you change strings.

Mine had the knocking at first but all I had to do was move the piece (I can't fully remember now and not at home) that locks it, all the way to the front (towards neck) and put it hard against the wood and then lock the thumb screw. Sorted. I did only want to lock the trem though, the knife edges were worn a little and I have an RG Prestige that is fine for any rare whammy moments
