THANK YOU!!! I have seen so many reviews of this, none demonstrating the trem. "heres a review of the GW1 with the trem, it gets out of tune so I'm not even going to demo it". Just makes no sense to me, so thank you thank you for actually demoing it because all I do is those little accenting things, rarely going more than a whole note. Side note, I think it would be great to see a video talking about set up this bridge.

check out the Overlord of music version of this trem, its basicalla a cheap Steinberger R trem knock off. This one looks slightly different, but the function, or lack thereof, is probably the same. There isnt much you can do with this price point.

Another great video! I can watch you play all day! Just want to mention our new designs are modeled the GW1 and the GW2. Not a problem old habits die hard! Thank you for a honest review and really demonstrating that tremolo perfectly. We have got many questions about it and you are exactly right. This is not a floyd rose designed bridge and it does not have 3-4 springs to bring it back into position if you really lean on it.. It has one adjustable thick high tension spring that is perfect for regular accent playing not dive bombs. If you are into that try one of our EART licensed Floyd Rose models 😉 Thanks again Chris!

@@glenclarkchidley3637 they are extremely affordable and what you get for your money is quality far above what you get from guitars more than 3 times the price.. you can buy an EART and put some awesome upgrades in and still pay less than a stock brand name guitar. Which is what I've seen many of our fans do. From Fishman, Bareknuckle, EMG, Duncan all awesome upgrades on a GW model. I liked that someone did a purple W2 with whiteout Duncan's and white knobs.. really sharp and affordable!

I bought the previous version of this guitar a little over a year ago on a whim. After a proper setup, fret level, and intonation, it's become my go to guitar. The floating trem kinda sucks, but I just leave it locked and don't have any trouble keeping it in tune. It's incredible how a $230 guitar can play just as good or better than a $1000 guitar after proper setup.

I have the W2 blue. No complaints whatsoever. The only thing I didn't like out-of-the-box was it had tens on it instead of nines which I prefer but I still haven't changed the strings yet because they seem pretty decent. This bridge keeps strings in tune better than any other tuners on any guitar have owned or played period And I now have 21 guitars. Received the blue tele model a few days ago and I'm very happy with that also.

I wonder where the trem tuning problem actually exists..do the strings lock at both ends, or just at the nut🤔
@onewiththings2 жыл бұрын
How does it compare to your Strandberg? Do you still play that? I can get warble on the tremolo with mine, and I found tuning is good with dive bombs if you remove those locks at the nut. I don't think they hold the string strong enough, but the basic holes for the string ball ends does just fine without it.
@ChrisTompkins-Music-And-Gear2 жыл бұрын
I loathe the trem on the GW1. But, my Strandberg was a hard tail. So, I could compare the GW2, to my Strandberg classic, that I had. I would 100% buy the GW2 over the Strandberg. The Strandberg I had, felt a bit cheap in build. The Eart was very solid feeling. The only thing about the Strandberg that I found better, is the endure neck. However, I do not feel like the endure neck justifies the price they ask. IMO, the Classic Strandberg, would be a good deal, if it cost $599. So, it's Eart for me. Peace!

Same saize string next 2 IT. (.011) (Makes it sound much louder bcuz Satan gives u teeny string so u cant hear it properly, taps2 quiet etc. Breathe wrong it breaks u will spend 15 -20k strings a lifetime. Satan uses massive bass increase guitar/neck tension2insane levels vs my tremelo much easier bend. Action super easy low. Satan standard tune raises my heart rate. LITERALLY i use EB tune. These factors put MUCH less strain guitar/trem/hardware. Resonates with reality. (Earth vibration 432kz.) It matters unless u read satans bllsht google. Human voice resonates with eb flat. Ask any singer. They tell u. You press MUCH LESS on fret. Your guitars a nightmare. If u play HALF A DAY u FRETS HAVE LONG VERTICAL LINES &shiny flat spots unwound stringz. I use softer string alloys. Van halen copied my guitar in only 2, 3 repects. My new Frank I changed dozens of thingz. Primarily his original FIRST Frank neck was wider thenANY neck made 2day. His radius was around 17 or 20. (Frets were very FLAT.) Made it easier play. Stainless frets last 4ever? U funny guy. So was Ed. Lol Satans boys gave Ed stainless alloy spiced on 95% brass. These factories are serpents. Literally Reptilan Angels run. U will spend 15 - 30k on stringz in 50 years. 50 years is not that long. Lol i designed floyd rose so u couldloosen reclamp stringz. Lol Floyd duznt even know that neither did Ed. Ed nowhere near on my level. Lol stringz dont oxidize or wear out whatsoever. Sound a tad dffrnt new, so what? Not better. Just dffrnt.

The demons in human bodies Yahweh calls Plasticines. We were sent 2make a dffrnce. Sadly u all chose Satans "creators" He named them that 2mock u cuz u sit at their poison feet like they gods. I have a Van Halen stainless fret stage guitar lol thfrets with huge dents& i dont even play very much 5 years. Honestly its a goose chase wallet drain frets can easily last 2lifetimes. 1 last thing. I am worlds best guitarist. I quit playing 25 years ago. Then i played only 3 years 8 hour days. We dont have that kind of time. Time is money u have 2have millions2 afford 2not work but ONLY PLAY 5 years minimum 2get good. My 5 amps &speakers BROKE IN 5 YEARS. MY Wolfgang shot 2 hell. The electronics shot. Bucketheads guitars also, his electrinics go out regularly he has been selling his guitars. I lived near Buck &Ed 35 years they wr friends both avatars Satan used 2whitewash me. Living on 3k a year my only hope is pull out selling it. Manufactures wont dare ask see prototype. They corrupt. I give blueprints free any1 every1 whoever ask... Lol not even 1person will. Well other then Edward &Floyd did. This was written ealier I am still cmpleteing thguitar thousands of guitarists &corrupt companies have already read this. I will be doing a cmplete in depth follow up in a few days. Ed had a rambo these are my marbles not your side 2him. I call it deer antler syndrome. The old matrix is over guyz. Satan is gone.

The problem with a lot of guitarist's, is their misconception of what stainless steel is. Most people think that stainless steel is a single type of metal that is universally the same, all the time. But it's not. Stainless steel contains Chromium, Nickel, Carbon, Manganese, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulfur and Nitrogen. It's an amalgam of metals. There are 4 families of stainless steel, with many different "grades" of structural properties within each family. Most people expect that stainless steel cannot corrode, or be magnetized and will last forever, etc... There are some forms of stainless that are like that, but not all. We have to keep this in mind when trying to debunk the validity of any claim from a company claiming to use stainless steel anything. I do not doubt that they are using stainless steel frets. They look and feel like stainless steel frets. Some people claim that they have experienced fret wear on them. Well, are they using stainless steel strings? Because if so, and the strings are a harder stainless than the fret, it will wear the frets! I have no idea which family or grade of stainless steel they are using. It could be a harder grade, or a softer grade... Who knows. But, I don't doubt that they are in fact stainless steel. Thanks for the excellent question!!
