Tremolo is a rapid quivering change of volume. This is not to be confused with a small, rapid changes in pitch, which is known as vibrato.

Do you need a tremolo on a electirc guitar?

A tremolo is a quick repetition of a note (or 2 notes/chords in alternation). It produces a rumbling, thundering effect if used in the bass, and when used softly in the high registers, it can create an eerie atmosphere. Adjusting the volume of tremolos (suddenly loud/soft) can also emphasise and enhance its effect. Another use of a tremolo is the well-known drum roll used offen to signal or lead into an entrance. A tremolo is capable of adding to the tension of a piece, or leading the music towards the climax. As such, it is not uncommonly to find tremolos at the end of a grand piece.

How many differences are there between playing acoustic and electric guitars?

a few: most acoustic have limited cutaways- i.e. you can reach the higher frets, action can generally be higher, letting chords ring harder to play solos on no need for an amplifier they do not have tremolos (whammy bars) electro acoustics often have the problem of feedback coming from the soundhole

What is special about a steinberger guitar?

This question would be best answered by all the folks that play a Steinberger Guitars or Basses. I in fact own a HohnerSteinberger Headless Bass and must say it is the most fun to play! The headless feature allows you to litterally do sliding runs without limits and fast. It is lighter in weight. the body design is more like a small broom and comfortable. The Steinberger Bridge and tuning system is a breeze and effective and quick to tune with the fine tuner knobs at the bottom of the bridge. String changes are fast. I have worked on many steinberger equipped guitars and will say this; the Steingberger Tremolos are by far well thought out and made precisely. Depending on which Trem model, I have seen few wear out.


Can you fix a snapped tremelo on an electric guitar?

you may be able to with glue or something the results wont be great though but you wouldn't believe how cheap the stuff is to replace on ebay. I'd have fun and customize the guitar. I'd take it off if you can and replace it , a beginner tremolo system is like 6$ on ebay just make sure it looks like yours. if you do get the tremolos arm off of the guitar they are like 2$ I'm on ebay a lot :)


How do you take the whammy bar off my guitar?

I had the same problem with my new guitar, so its not one size will fit all is the easiest answer unless its the exact same brand and model. this is funny though my 7 string has a much longer whammy bar I like more, I tried to put it on my normal 6 string BC Rich Beast and it wouldn't fit! but the 6 string whammy bar did. They where both Licensed Floyd rose and everything.


How do you install Floyd rose?

well first plan it out , how is the floyd rose gonna sit on the guitar , than route the wood with the right tools , put the two screws inside the guitar assuming you've got say an epiphone les paul and place the claw ,springs and floyd rose in and adjust the tension. Kahler 2200 and a few other tremolos will fit right on top of the guitars face with little to no wood routing (cutting) and work just as great, I can't suggest Kahler Hybrids enough though once they lock you can tune to other tunings. make sure to add a locking nut on the nut as this will improve the floyd roses tuning stabillity and its cheaper to go with those Kahlers or a new/used guitar with a floyd rose in it. I bought a Jackson and a few other used guitars with floyd roses for half the price of getting a guitar modified to have a floyd rose in it. also guitars with floyd roses i find are bigger and wider than average guitars it won't sound dead on like a friends guitar with a floyd rose even if you match the woods... I'm basing this opinion on two BC Rich beasts I owned at the same time, same woods and everything just the second beast was bigger with the floyd rose.
