Surprisingly my best tuning is with vintage 2 point trems. I never use them free floating as imo thats meant for floyds. Use 4 springs in back and make sure to wrap string at least 4 times around tuning peg. I can abuse the **** out of it and stay in tune.

It stays in tune better though than most gibson style guitars that dont even have a tremelo.

GOD BLESS LEO FENDER
