Question About Floating Trem Options

[derper]

I blocked off the trem completely on my Parker Nitefly, but have recently been wondering if I should un-block. My biggest concern is, changing pitch inadvertantly with palm mutes, etc. Is that something you have to get used to/adapt your style for? If so, I may wait until I have more than 1 guitar for gigs.


Thanks!

Setting up the tremolo is the hardest part, you need patiences and just minor adjustments. Took me about 2 hours for my first floating floyd rose restring, lol! Tune from the outside into the middle, then fine adjust. The slightly change during the setup ends up being a huge one, if not careful. Then getting it to float flat, flush to the body, arrrrrrr!

However, I haven't had any problems with it since, the palm muting does need a little readjusting but it's pretty solid and unless you have a really heavy hand, it will stay fine. Didn't take that long to learn and actually helped keep a lighter, fast picking hand (relaxed without teasing). My axe has never detuned itself in an entire month with the new strings! Unless you thrash the whammy like crazy, then some minor tuning required.
