what trem should i get?

pinballwizard1234 · 12-19-2009, 10:10 PM

hey everybody. this is my first thread. i have a 2008 epiphone les paul standard that has duncan distortion pickups and kluson tuning heads. i have never owned a trem before, but i have done some research. i dont want a floyd because i dont want to route my guitar all the way through. i was considering a kahler 7200 or a stetsbar. i want a floating trem, but with minimal to no routing. what all is available? thanks

You'll still have to route with the kahler... just not all the way through. Its just a square hole, but can be tricky with the curved top of the les paul...

The Setsbar will need a roller bridge to not be a complete PITA but requires no routing.

Check out the Les Trems, not sure if they fit your requirment of being a Floating trem, but they require no routing or drilling which is a plus..

The les trems are bigsby like dude.... and yeah, go with a kahler!!!

Yeah I figured that, I'm not much of a trem person outside of Bigsby's or Les Trem's so honestly have no idea the definition of a Floating Trem. Figured I'd mention what I like since he mentioned little or no routing..
