Re: Tremol-No

["L.Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>]

Thanx for the tips Bill And Jeff,the nut is something i was not paying 
much atention to thinking it was mostly due to the quality of the tremolo 
system.Ive set it flat recently,they come setup with a floating one and it 
has helped, but it still goes out of tune specially the G string.The nut 
is the stock one that comes with this models, so ill change it with a 
geaphite one.
ive also swapped the stock pickup for a seymour duncan vintage 59,and 
though i like it mostly for overdrive i miss that bright and out of phase 
tone of a tele or strat when playing clean.Iv been asking around if its 
possible to get such tones changing pickup configurations on this guitars 
but ive been told by guitar techs that no matter what i do fernandes 
guitars just wont sound like that ever due to their construction 
materials.But how is it that some cheap guitars have a great tone then?!

cheers
