Alain is a southpaw? All of your guitars look right handed.

Never use mine. Every strat I have ever owned has been converted to a hard tail.

hmmm. didnt quite catch that one. in one of his threads hi mentions to sealoblues that his monterey pop is a left handed strat. so he doesnt play it, he justs pops in a dvd of jimi hendrix sits it where he can look at it. im paraphrasing from what i remember of hand.

hey alain lefty loosy, or righty tighty?

The last time I used my Trem bar was to scoot the cat out of the case!!

Actually I use it occasionally, but only in a Shadows/Ventures kind of way.

I have a couple Floyd equipped guitars if I feel like going dive bomb heavy.

I rarely use mine, most of the time I play without the tremolo arm, and do some "bends" with my palm...but I'm impressed with Jeff Beck's use of tremolo...I will have to learn it sometimes...I'm not so used to tremolo, because for a few last years I played Les Paul, and Strat without tremolo....

I have one older Strat that sounds so good and bounces back in tune that it's hard to play too long with it. It only has 3 springs and gives you a real "Hendrix-like" whammo, when used.

I use mine mainly for vibrato. I don't use it very often, but when I'm using a guitar without one I miss it. I don't know how many times I've been playing my Tele and I reach over for the tremolo and it's not there.

I never use the tremolo, but have always owned either Strats or Strat copies.

I ran across this recently, and am planning to set up my strat to these specs. For me, Beck is it when it comes to use of traditional trem techniques.

I use it, "once in a blue moon" but I do use it and am glad it's there for when I want it.

I never use it. I have 2 Strats. I put 5 springs in one and blocked the other one.

I find it hard enough to play without the added complication.

Makes me wonder if players would use them more if tuning issues weren't a problem?

occasionally I pop my tremolo in to get out of the rut.
