hey guys whats the proper way to tune a guitar with a floating tremolo (eg my strat)
im finding it to be a massive headfuck every time I want to go to drop D or down half a step etc, as I find having to repeat the tuning heaps of times before getting it right, my friend even told me your not supposed to always change tunings on guitars with a floating tremolo and that it is not good for the guitar. surely this is not true? I spent a lot of money on my SRV strat I should be able to change the tunings on it as often as I like!
after doing some basic internet research it seems it has something to do with ensuring the gap between the tremolo and bridge stays correct.....
