I have occasionally ordered Hosco stuff through Allparts (in the UK...) Many of their better looking tuners etc are not available from the Allparts site, but perhaps if you were to ask nicely..?

These are a great product...the only slight issue is that the two locking screw rattle a bit. Also, I found that the return to pitch (in floating mode) was improved with a bit of lubricant on the "piston".

I always use superglue to glue nuts on...only use a little though!

I don't think any other trem system will stay in tune like a (genuine) Floyd. Having said that, the combination you have in mind will be amongst the best of the rest.

I am quite a fan of Callaham bridges, and also Graphtech saddles. I think the combination of the Callaham plate and Graphtech saddles may work for you.

Hiscox http://www.hiscoxcases.com/standardguitar_hiscox.htm I've used these for years - they are (IMO) better made and much stronger than most others. Also quite reasonably priced (here in the UK at least)

That's just so ugly! Also, all of the "new" sounds have been used before...

On the first video (at about 1.30) he is just playing various natural harmonics...?

IMO the Celestion Blue has the tone...just wish they didn't charge so much for them

The best are the height adjustable ones. You may still need one string tree for the E and B. Try to make sure that it is only pressing down on the strings a bit...I use a small spring as a height adjustable spacer for the tree.

Buy (any brand) soap - it gets you clean.

My approach is to calculate the correct uncompensated nut to 1st fret distance for the guitar. Stew Mac have a calculator on their site... This prevents problems with the original nut position (amazingly common, especially on non-Fender style nuts e.g Gibson, most acoustice, etc) Go for a...

That's pretty much what I would have expected...most strings are over compensated. Notice that the over compensation results in the lower fret being flat, and the upper frets sharp. With my Funky Nut, I was going for as close to no flat or sharp notes...i.e. as close to the tuning of an...

Perhaps you would find this a help...http://www.guitarsetup.co.uk/nuts-about-intonation.php (I am NOT trying to sell anything by the way...I just think that the information in this (quite long....sorry) page would be of some use to those new to the concept of intonation.)
