Best Options For Trem Stops?

Question

Posted

Thinking of putting a trem stop on my Les Paul Axcess and hoping some on here might have some insights and suggestions.

Already aware of the commonly seen varieties- Tremol-No and Floyd Rose' Tremolo Stop Lock. Just never used one. :P

I use the SuperVee version in a few Strats and it works great.

I use both the tremol-no and stop lock.  I set my trems up to be dive only.   I prefer the tremol-no, no need to screw anything to the body, but it’s a longer process to install it.  I like to keep the trem cavity cover on, so I make sure that there is enough clearance with the tremol-no installed.  I use the stop lock when clearance is an issue.  I don’t use the thumb screws on the tremol-no, just the set screw on what they call the Deep C to set it up for dive only.  I install EVH D-Tuna’s on my floyd trems, so both get the job done to allow that to work properly.

I dislike the stop lock.  It's simple enough to put in, but the set screw clanks against the block if you have a goodly amount of gain.  I've seen Adam Riever's video where he puts 2 squares of gaffer's tape to quell the noise, but to me that just seems like it's not fully thought out.  

I've also tried the black box because it has a small rubber piece on the end.  You can still pull up, but you feel some resistance and you can have a D-Tuna.  It's more of a pain to get in though.  https://www.fu-tone.com/product/tremolo-black-box/
