A Scientific Wild Guess led me to order "Epiphone and other imports" parts, and they fit. My local tech guy did a little filing on the saddles to get them to sit right in the "wannabe Tune-O-Matic" bridge, so they match the arch of the guitar top.
Cooool. 8)
GuitarElectronics has the best prices I've seen on G-T parts, and a lot of other stuff, too.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Doug_C https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-159143 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-159119 Mon, 13 Feb 2006 18:54:54 +0000 http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/product/GTS8001 Then you can Whammy all you want without tuning every time.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance art&lutherie https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-159119 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158979 Mon, 13 Feb 2006 05:18:09 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance U2Bono269 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158979 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158971 Mon, 13 Feb 2006 04:55:49 +0000

When I got them I realized that the Am. Std. trees aren't actually rollers, just round pins, but there's much less surface for the string to move over so there's less friction. Tuning on my E and B strings seems to be slightly easier and quicker.

After giving it a lot of thought I decided to add the second tree, and I think this will turn out to be a good decision. I immediately noticed that the buzz on my G string was gone and it seems like that string now has a little better tone and presence.

There it is....]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance quarterfront https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158647 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158378 Fri, 10 Feb 2006 22:07:51 +0000 http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/category/4partshardware.6bridgesstoptails.4bridgesaddles/

I bought new nuts, saddles, and trees for my Johnson JS-050-¾ Strat copy and my Squier Bullet Special, and put a new nut and saddles on my Memphis LP copy. I think the G-T parts really do improve the sustain. 8)]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Doug_C https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158378 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158377 Fri, 10 Feb 2006 22:05:47 +0000 Mark]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance mark-taylor https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158377 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158176 Fri, 10 Feb 2006 10:22:19 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Metaellihead https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/strat-string-trees/#post-158176
