FDP Cookbook : Appetizers : 2 pole tremolo - string bend on neck detunes string
(submitted by Zeussa )

Ingredients

Has anyone else got into a brainspin with their 2 pole trem string detune, and wondered about these questions, or perhaps even solved the problem....?

Why do I have to dive the trem to regain pitch of that string I just bent?

Why is this allowed to happen with a relatively new a profesional product?

Where is the design flaw?

How many others have tried to search a solution without resolution?

How much is Fender going to hit me for a product that will fix their product?

I have 2 strats with 2 pole trems. They both detune I string bend on the neck, by up to 1/4 tone, all string detune to varying degrees when bent, particularly the G & B

I have tested other Fender Strats off the shelf in shops with the 2 pole trem and all I tried have the same detune problem when a string is bent on the fretboard.

So all you Fender Strat Freaks, I want to join you in a solution here. :)

Directions

Would appreciate if this could stay up on the Fender Strat FDP, for others to find and need :)
