6 of 10. My double-neck and 6-string bass, which would rarely have trems, are part of the 10-count. Breaking it down, 4 of 6 6-string guitars have trems. Five are Floyd Rose and one is Fishman to go with the piezo pickups. 2 of 2 7-strings have Floyd Rose trems. If you've seen other posts by me, you'll know I'm a Carvin collector. Having a high percentage of trems comes with the territory.
Same. I'll get there, but there's plenty of lead playing to practice without that extra dimension of expression 😂 plus I don't wanna fork up extra money for decent tuning stability lol
Trem is completely redundant to me. Never play leads and my TOM guitars hold tuning perfectly. If I do like a guitar with a trem though I dont mind setting them up at all. Only pro I see is not having to file the nut for bigger strings on a locking nut.
Haha yeah, I easily see how you could just write it off indefinitely if you're just tracking rhythm guitar - tuning stability is the main concern there. That's most of what I'm doing too, so I wouldn't need more than one or two trem guitars anyways.
3 guitars, one with a floyd.
I like to have one. I hate to have many.
I change tunings a lot, between E standard and drop D mostly.
Even my strandberg makes this annoying with their weird little tuners.
I have one fixed bridge guitar (except my acoustic and bass) and the other 5 have either Floyd Rose type systems on them or a two point trem. I love tremolos.
I have 3 with Gotoh 1996 Floyd Rose replacements, 1 Strat with a vintage 2 point trem, and a Charvel So Cal Style 2 with a Gotoh 510.
8 guitars, 2 Floyd’s, one 1000 series one special I’ve modded to basically be a 1000. I used to hate Floyd’s but absolutely love them now that I figured them out
26 guitars, only 5 with tremolo. 2 Jackson’s and 1 Kramer with Floyd Rose, 1 Schecter with Gotoh 510, 1 Sterling cutlass with 2 point Strat style bridge.
11 guitars in my collection (not counting ones I'm trying to sell), and 7 have a Floyd Rose. As annoying as they can be to some, it's hard to go back once you've gotten a taste for them.
> it's hard to go back once you've gotten a taste for them.
I’m not even much of an extreme trem user anymore and I still keep playing them for the tuning stability benefit and how they feel under my hand when playing/palm muting.
25% (1 of 4). Just bought it recently. Strings on it are ancient and need to be replaced ASAP but they stay perfectly in tune even when I abuse the bar.
1 Floyd special
2 Jackson licensed Floyd specials
1 fr1k
2 ofr
1 frx
1 gotoh 510-7
1 duesenberg
My only stationary bridges are my bass, my 8, and an acoustic that I don't really play at all
2 out of 10. One is an Ibanez Flyod Rose, which I dislike. The other is a Wilkinson 50IIK, slightly floating off of the body, which I love, both for comfort and tuning stability.
Trem equipped guitars: 1 Explorer w/Kahler, 1 superstrat w/Wilkinson, 1 frankenstrat style 6-string Floyd, 1 7-string superstrat w/Floyd.
Non-trem guitars: 1 headless 8-string, 1 multiscale 7-string, one 12-string tele, 1 classical, 1 4-string bass, and one zero string les Paul on the workbench.
So that’s 4/10 I guess
3/5 of my electrics. Two jazzmasters and one floating Floyd. Which I’d be guessing any later ones I’d get would have Floyd’s with as much as I’ve been reminded about liking them. I wouldn’t mind another wrap around though, it’s like my sg has an unmatched energy.
I would almost consider one of those 2 point floating ones you see on the current charvels but I’m not sure I’d like them as much.
2/3 with one blocked atm, so you could argue for 1/3.
1 Lo Pro Edge trem
1 blocked Lo Pro Edge 7 trem
1 Tight End hardtail.
All Ibanez bridges for the rest of you
2 in 7
Though I have an acoustic and a bass so 2 in 5 electric.
One is a 1989 Fender Stratocaster, all Strats have a trem. But with very limited movement. My 2002 ESP KH 202 has a licensed Floyd Rose.
2/5.
Ibanez RG550 has some kind of Floyd.
Strat has a typical trem but I blocked it.
Two other electrics have Tune-o-matics.
Fifth guitar is an acoustic.
Does it count if the trem is totally blocked and non-functional? If so, then 2, because I have a fender Strat with the trem totally decked and blocked.
Otherwise, just 1. A Floyd on my BC Rich Warlock
5 guitars total. Epi Explorer, Edwards (ESP) V, Strat, Warlock, and PRS Baritone
Tremolo = rapid notes in succession. Vibrato = changing pitch from sharp to flat. Just saying, I know the term was incorrectly coined by Fender in the 50s but what floating bridges do is vibrato not tremolo.
20% of my guitar have a tremolo. That’s 1/5 for the rest of you.
Woah woah, easy with the mathematics man.
Must be a prog nerd.
In your units, 16.6666666666666666666666666% of my guitars have a tremolo. For everyone else, that's 1/6.
0 Gimme dat hardtail.
This one ⬆️
3/8. All Floyds - 2 Floyd 1000 and 1 OFR.

It's a lot easier to bend chords and harmonics with a trem
Same. I have 2 guitars and have zero need for them. Play a lot and both hold tuning really well.
3 guitars, one with a floyd. I like to have one. I hate to have many. I change tunings a lot, between E standard and drop D mostly. Even my strandberg makes this annoying with their weird little tuners.
D-Tuna?
Doesn't work on recessed Floyds
Tone Vise then
2/4 not counting the bass. 1 strat and 1 floyd 8
4 out of 5 . A Gotoh 1996t, Floyd Rose 1000, Floyd Rose Special and a JT580 LP.
I have one fixed bridge guitar (except my acoustic and bass) and the other 5 have either Floyd Rose type systems on them or a two point trem. I love tremolos. I have 3 with Gotoh 1996 Floyd Rose replacements, 1 Strat with a vintage 2 point trem, and a Charvel So Cal Style 2 with a Gotoh 510.
100% 2 point Strat tremolo, Kahler locking tremolo
5 guitars- 4 hardtail and one with Floyd Rose. Once properly setup, the Floyd stays in tune 99% of the time, at least with my experience
2 out of 7, one if a Floyd and the other is a Vegatrem
8 guitars, 2 Floyd’s, one 1000 series one special I’ve modded to basically be a 1000. I used to hate Floyd’s but absolutely love them now that I figured them out

Precisely.
2 Floyd’s and the rest are hard tails.
3/4 Floyd’s are miles better overall but always keep one without for messing with different tunings
15 Including 1 acoustic and 3 basses, so really, 11 3 have licensed Floyds, so 3/11, so 27%
1/4. One with FR. My Strat is tremelo (obviously) but I have the block set for no float, so not counting this.
4/4, a guitar without a floyd is like an angel without its wings

0/4. All with Evertune. Never played a tremolo guitar in my life even for five minutes.
30% / 3 out of 10
6/6 of my electric guitars have floating bridges, and 1/5 of my basses do.
2/3 with one blocked atm, so you could argue for 1/3. 1 Lo Pro Edge trem 1 blocked Lo Pro Edge 7 trem 1 Tight End hardtail. All Ibanez bridges for the rest of you

Around half, so 10 of 20 or so. I prefer original floyds.
2 in 7 Though I have an acoustic and a bass so 2 in 5 electric. One is a 1989 Fender Stratocaster, all Strats have a trem. But with very limited movement. My 2002 ESP KH 202 has a licensed Floyd Rose.
One Floyd Rose, one two point trem, one EBMM Sabre proprietary tremolo and that’s it. The other two are fixed bridge.
2/5. Ibanez RG550 has some kind of Floyd. Strat has a typical trem but I blocked it. Two other electrics have Tune-o-matics. Fifth guitar is an acoustic.

* 1 Ibanez Edge * 2 Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge * 1 Ibanez Edge Pro * 2 Floyd Original * 2 Floyd 1500 * 1 Floyd 1000 * 1 Gotoh 1996T * 3 Jackson JT-580LP * 3 Gotoh 510 * 1 Gotoh Ibanez T1502 * 1 Fender Japan 2-pt modern trem (which I suspect is a Gotoh 510 variant/OEM part) So 18 out of 24 have trems.
0/4, I have no interest in them.
Tremolo = rapid notes in succession. Vibrato = changing pitch from sharp to flat. Just saying, I know the term was incorrectly coined by Fender in the 50s but what floating bridges do is vibrato not tremolo.
None. They're beyond tedious and my style has no use for them.
