hey guys i was just wondering whats the best sounding piezo bridge available for a strat? i heard good things about fishman, but its alot more than the x-bridge, but im not even sure if that fits in a MIM strat.

bump

RMC, hands down. is the Graphtech Ghost.

do you know a website that sells the rmc? these are stock on certain brian moores right?

mincer, does your wilkinson on ur brian moore stay in tune as well as a floyd? would a slip stone nut help that or would graphite work better without changing the tone vs a bone nut?

my BM has a graphite nut, and it, along with locking tuners makes tuning very stable, although I dont do 80s divebombs, I do use it for holdsworth type bends. All Brian Moores with piezos use RMCs. As far as RMC sellers...hmm, not sure- maybe it says so on the website?

hmm i think i might go with the ghost. if you compare a strat with the standard trem and nut vs one with an OFR, what are the differences in tone? im still debating whether to get the ofr or a piezo bridge for my strat. if the ofr changes the sound drastically, im not going to get it.

adding an OFR usually thins the tone pretty much, so you may have to get a higher output pickup to compensate.

Maybe I shouldn't have voted, as I've only tried one, but I thought the Ghost sounded pretty darn good.

Having said that, something happened in the installation process to change my guitar's electric tone. It could have been one of the new pots I put in, the Ghost pre-amp (which uses the electrical signal only for switching purposes), or the graphtech saddles. I haven't had a chance to systematically check the problem. I'm hoping it's a bad pot or the Graphtech amp, as I can replace or bypass those, respectively. If it's the saddles, then I'm ripping the system out and putting the steel saddles back in.
