I don't even use the whammy bars on the guitars that have them. One major exception: Surf music.

I agree with "Big Bamboo". I have a bigsby on my Gretsch, and the only problem with the Bigsby is that my strings can out of tune like THAT. I really have to work to keep everything in tune. Usually if I know that I want to use it, I have a tuner hooked up to another cord nearby so I can be ready to tune when I need to.
