Just to clarify: 2:09 = Guitars with a tremolo system DO come with the whammy bar detached. It often is in the gig bag and needs to be attached manually. You can also detach it whenever you want 9:34 = That is called a Floyd Rose Bridge, it's a type of floating bridge (It doesn't sit on the wood, the string tension combined with the springs on the back holds it still). Alongside the floyd rose bridge there is a locking nut to help staying in tune on huge dive bombs, you could use a wrench to unlock it and use the normal tuning pegs but since it often stays in tune well you can use the bridge for micro adjustments. Some of those bridges even have a push-pull thing on the low E for quick drop tunings

[@EliRicke-xl9mw]

I can't get the bridge back in place after restring. It floats too high. Any advice?

[@reactivelemur846]

@@EliRicke-xl9mw Tune down 2/3 steps so the strings are flappy, then screw the screws on the back, where the springs are. You should try this until you have a straight bridge on standard tuning

what i learned from this video: People who leave bad reviews usually don’t know what they’re talking about People who leave bad reviews are just unlucky and their guitar broke when being delivered

[@101Volts]

My Mom once saw a bad "review" for a Deep Fryer. The review *only* said *"hot temperatures."* I'm NOT kidding you. What did they expect a *Deep Fryer* to do, fry something under 130 degress F? Or was it actually getting *way* too hot to fry anything with? The world may never know, all because the reviewer was too lazy and shouldn't have even written it.

[@101Volts]

However, when you see 1 star reviews for the companies that sell junky bootleg T Shirts on Facebook through spam, *those* reviews are warranted: I'm saying when the shirts are bootleg merch, the lettering falls off in 1 wash, the lettering is misspelled, and the customer service is a pass the buck BS line. I'm still not sure who listens to that garbage "nobody likes it on my timeline" or "just got it for my bday

Whammy bars are usually not attached until you need to use them, as they can get bent, take up extra space, and can fuck with the tension of the strings in the back.

[@EQU143]

Regarding the last guitar: It's really common for Floyd Rose tremolo systems to be tuned at the bridge... nothing wrong there..

[@foljs5858]

Yes, it's supposed to come with the whammy bar detached. To fit it case, and to protect the bridge when transporting.

[@LifeOfBuster]

I think the Whammy bar being deattached was common for beginner kit Guitars in the 90s and early 00s. Since it allows it to be packed in the box flatter or something.

[@HandsomeDNoobie]

the whammy bar is suposted to come detached when you first get it and you dont have to have it all the way screwd in to use it

[@wyattdegroot417]

8:06 I just wanna say this, on most vintage acoustic guitars, the pick guards were actually molded on to the body.

[@HerkusLeGuitarman]

You're supposed to detach the whammy bar when putting the guitar in gigbags/cases cause the constant pressure can loosen the springs

[@haganem]

The last guitar is a Floyd Rose! In order to tune it you first need to remove the locking nuts and then tune it **close to** whatever tuning youre looking (most painful part because the strings affects each other when youre tuning, so if you try to tune your G string, your other strings will fall slightly out of tune), then reattach the locking nuts and then use the fine tuners at the bridge to make adjustments to each individual string. And since the locking nuts are back in place the strings will not affect each other anymore when adjusting the fine tuners! ^^ Although Floyd Roses are a pain in the a$$ to setup, every single one that ive played sounds beautiful!

[@OutOfControl101]

Okay so: 1) the sound quality will either be settings or cheap amp, offbranded. 2) either polish the wood, add nicer strings or just get toucher fingers. 3) the whammy bar should come deatatched so you can add whichever bar you like as tight as you want it. Also it should be high, you can put ur hand under it or rest your hand on it, it's out if the way and accessible!

I had the Walmart guitar😭. It was a little different. It was a Stratocaster not an hss, it had the same amp just no badge on the speaker, and it had all the issues stated. It also came with a really crappy uncomfortable strap that I ended up ditching. The amp kicked the bucket after a month of use so I replaced it with a boss kata mk2 100 watt. And the wire kicked the bucket the day I got the new amp😭. Overall if you’re on a tight budget you can make the guitar work but replace all the other gear. I recommend a boss katana. It doesn’t matter the model but if your budget is super tight go with the boss katana mini. The strap you can get for 20 bucks at guitar center with a nice design and good ergonomics. For the cable just get a better one at guitar center. For picks you can really cheap out with like 50 cent picks. I’m not really sure though I haven’t looked at prices. Now for what works in the guitar besides all the issues stated. The pickups are pretty good, they don’t suck and can sound great with the right amp. The guitar itself is pretty comfortable to play for long hours. And the guitar is decently easy to play( besides hammer ons). Overall it can get the job done if you replace a few things. If you have the money to get a better guitar and still get a boss katana go for it. If not save up because you don’t wanna cheap out on the amp unless it’s a super budget set up (like I’ve stated before the guitar falls into the super budget category). But you should go for a better guitar to get better results. Overall the guitar is pretty bad but can get the job done for a beginner because the intonation isn’t terrible. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have around 250 bucks to spend and you need an electric guitar. You’re welcome for this info and review, have a great day and go practice guitar!

The thing with import guitars is that they are so inconsistent, and there's possibility of you getting a bad one. That's probably the reason why some people are arguing whether "this brand is good that brand is bad." , It is important to try before you buy, or at least have a return policy.

walmart guitar: 1:09 the tremolo always comes detached The tremolo has to go high, not low, the last thing you want is a tremolo that hinders you when playing I can't give an opinion on the wood since I can't touch it. the sound of the amplifier does sound like poop On a guitar there is never a place to rest the palm, in each type of guitar it is a different way of placing the palm, I feel some are more intuitive than others or more comfortable than others Amazon guitar: 3:30 The action has to be somewhat high, it does not always have to be super straight as it can cause the frets to make fret buzz DIY guitar: 4:56 this guitar is not made to be played in my opinion, it is more than all an experience of building a guitar If you don't know how to do it, I don't recommend buying it.

[@idk9637]

you tune floyds normally at the headstock.. then you put the locking nut on.. the locking nut will knock it out of tune again so then you do the final adjustments with the fine tuners at the bridge. the strings do not go through the bridge like with typical trems. they get cut and locked inside of the bridge. so because its locked at both the bridge and the nut it should maintain the same tension/tuning no matter the crazy shit you do. over time strings stretch and fall out of tune but id imagine it was tuned before by a worker so it probably only needed the fine tuners to get back to where it was.. so you probably didnt even need the tool. then again theres no audio so maybe it was never tuned to begin with. though as an ex guitar store employee i find it hard to believe. you get bored as shit and tuning guitars is easy work.
