NGD 1964 Gretsch corvette

[Rambozo96]

Feels like a cross between a SG and a melody maker with a dash of Gretsch quirks.

Cool, congrats! Those HiLo-Trons are underrated because they are low output, but they sound great. Have fun with the new axe!

Very cool! That's one heck of a tremolo bar!

Burns. Not very popular. Some people disable them, like Malcolm Young.

I have one on the Astro Jet.
You have to be discreet with the wiggle stick. Unlike most other tremelos, if you try to dive bomb with a Burns, the internal pin will slip out of the retainer, and the strings will slam the handle down on your fingers.
Ow.

Is it dive only on those? I try to use it like I would a Bigsby and it seems to not float just only dive down in pitch

It's floating, but it's not the same. The circled cone fits in a machined cup in the post. If you drop the handle enough, the cone pops out of the cup, and the *STRING TENSION* snaps the handle down on your fingers. I misspoke. :-(

I owned a single pup version once and it was very cool and as mentioned above, the HiLotrons are great.

Congrats.
