The fuel lines on my homemade ram-jet are made of aluminum pipingShould I replace them with copper tubing or try to insulate them? BQ- Is the v-shaped flame holder the best design to use on a ram-jet, and what material can withstand the high internal tempatures?
It really depends on the type of tremolo work you wish to doIf your goal is to just do some mild tremolo activity i,edipping the pitch down a bit, adding a little bit of shimmer to some chords, than the jagmaster tremolo will work fine with a minimum of difficultiesIf you wish to do wild screaming dive bombs and extreme detune dumps Than you will need a double locking tremolo such as the Floyd Rose modelThese types of tremolo are for the guitarist who uses extreme tremolo bar techniques and effectsThey are designed to minimize the detuning problems of standard tremolos when used with this kind of extreme playingThey use a locking nut to prevent the strings from slipping across the nut and around the tunersThey also require that you cut off the ball ends and clamp the strings down in the bridge with an allan screw assembly(this is why they are known as double-locking tremolos) They do not totally prevent the strings from going out of tune, which is why there are fine tuners on the bridge to compensate for string stretchThese units do require a higher degree of maintenance and do make changing the strings a bit more of an involved processThe Jagmaster tremolo is based on the original Jaguar tremolo, which uses an ingenious pivoting bridge type design that stays in tune very well for limited tremolo anticsIt is a good introduction into the world of whammy bar fun, with a minimum of hasslesYour best bet is to go to your local music stores and try out a bunch of different guitars and see what each one plays and feels likeBe sure to ask plenty of questions about the guitars and the tremolo vsnon-tremolo debateDon't rely on other peoples opinions without investigating for yourself.
replace with copper or even better try bundy tubing AND insulate as well
If you get a lower priced guitar (Squier, Epiphone), because of the way the bridge and trem bar are designed, it will go out of tune as soon as you use itIf you want to use a trembar you need a guitar with a better bridge and usually a locking nut and good tunersFor lower priced guitars, I would stay away from a tremolo bar.
