I think the pics where jay is holding the guitar (my build attached for reference) makes them seem extra wide, but they’re pretty normal in person. Not as small as a strandberg though.
This is more of an aesthetics issue. I am considering a sureclaw (hard limit of 3 springs, straight configuration). But if it means going purple, red, or green, from either FU tone or Floyd rose, then I would skip it. Floyd Rose has the black noiseless spring which is higher tension than...
well there are definitely WRONG answers, that is, physically impossible ones, or ones that place the claw at very extreme positions, so I'd like to avoid those.
also I should mention im limited to 3 straight springs, since this will be a sureclaw.
Does anyone know how to calculate how many springs and what tension will be needed for certain string tension? I have this chart from Floyd Rose:
my total tension is 84 lbs. I guess I would also need the length of the cavity:
also, does anyone have comparable info for the FU tone springs...
I’m mostly interested in simple pitch shifting to get from d standard down to a standard. Looks like polycapo is king right now, but the h90 has some new tech (SIFT). Any thoughts on the capabilities of each, and does the helix floor unit have the same polycapo software as helix native? I...
Do you have access to an old Jackson pickup : https://www.axebition.com/pickup/jackson-j-50bc ? I realize this is best paired with the onboard preamp in the Charvels, but I was curious if you have an opinion on a fully passive pick up that can get a similar sound.
