Can’t comment on the quality of Gotoh but I had a Spurzel lock up on me when a string broke and the pin wouldn’t release. I called the company at like 8pm and Bob Spurzel picked up, apparently he was working late in the shop, and he sent me a replacement tuner free of charge. That experience sold me on his company to the point I’ll evangelize for them any chance I get. 1 Quote

Speedo Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I bought a decent ukulele today ... my daughter has one and I figure it will be fun to learn how to play and teach her. Then I can record shitty punk songs in ukulele, like Milo. Quote

They seem like a small shop too, but yes they are awesome. Quote
Speedo Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Hey, gear guys, should the bridge on my strat be flush with the body or is it okay to leave it floating a bit? I took off the whammy and it's just a matter of tightening springs. The problem is, if I tighten them to get the bridge flush then the low e buzzes ... I do kind of like the bridge raised a bit because I can manually push on in to mess with the sound, so it's cool for the effect but I don't know if I'm damaging the guitar by leaving it like this.

The bridge is supposed to float a bit on a strat so you can use the tremolo, so it's totally fine to leave it that way if you like it. I've decked the bridges on both of my strats because I don't use trem at all and I found I'd always throw the tuning off when palm muting. 1 Quote
