I have the bridge flush with the body and use five springs and crank down the srping tension screws a bit. I like htis better then the block because if you really want to use the trem for some reason you still can. Of course it will be stiff but it is stilll useable. I ahve no issues with staying in tune. 94 SRV strat set up with 11's and"aggresive" action tuned standard.


I tune to D standard and Drop C as most modern Rock does I have my bridge rest on the body but only need 3 springs.
I use locking tuners and set the tension so I can still use the bar but it returns flat.
Rock for the most part hasnt been tuning to E standard since the 70s so 3 springs work great.


I thought I was missing something here. I went to look at these rock 'tunings' and they are nothing but variations of dropped 'D' and standard tuning lowered between 1/2 and 2 steps. I don't consider lowering all the strings the same degree a 'tuning'. The intervals between the strings are the same.
