i’d have to go with fixed bridge.

I’m a strat guy, but deffinately prefer fixed bridges. I never use the trem.

Bigsby’s look GORGEOUS!!!

i love the bigsby on my gretsch, but you’re right, changing the strings is horrible.

i voted fixed even tho the one i currently use the most has a Floyd Rose. thats because the other guitars i built are ether still being built or under sum type of refinish or modding.

i usually prefer the stop bar tail piece with tunamatic style bridge, like on a LP, all my other guitars have that combo, except the bridges have been replaced with Wilkinson roller bridge, it looks mostly the same except it has roller wheels instead of notched blades for saddles.

i do a lot of setups repairs and intonations, that even a Floyd Rose setup is no prob for me, i actually enjoy it and get off on showing people how fast and simple it is (lol…showoff)

the one i currently use i get no probs from my set ups. never goes out of tune or anything.

IF I have to have trem, I’m going with floating or bigsby. I’ve got two guitars with floating trems, and they’re pretty cool. I have two guitars with two-piece tune-o-matics, which as cool too. Then I’ve got a couple simpler two piece bridge guitars, no intonation adjustment, and a tailpiece of some sort.

Floating’s nice because you have a trem if you want to use it, but you don’t have to.

The is question is flawed as a bridge and tremolo are two different things. it should be “floating trem or stop tail” as both still require bridges!

I’ll take the jazzmaster/jaguar tremolo over any other any day BTW!
