No more Rust 2!

I was looking at my Strat and I thought to myself. What exactly can I do to make it better that it already is. Don't get me wrong, it already is an awesome instrument. I saw rusting at the string trees and I know that Graphtech makes string tree too. I head down to TYMC and got myself a pair and changed the string tree.

I have to give thumbs up to this product. It allows me to do whammy with my strat and the string can go back to pitch without much problem. Not to mention, it looks really slick! Tone wise, well, I can't notice any much difference, even though the guitar by itself is already bright enough. Especially with the scalloped neck and brass nut.

No more Rust!

Finally done swapping out the old rusty steel saddles for the String Savers graphtech ones. They look really slick. These saddles are made with stainless steel. Including the saddle height screws. This means, no more rusting for the bridge area!

Shopping day! Snark Tuner and String Savers saddle

Ok. I have a confession to make. I am a shopaholic. Ok, not that bad of a shopaholic for stuff that I don't use but, I just enjoying shopping for Guitar related gear. I just happened to lost my tuner. Conveniently. I wrote about how good Snark Tuners are previously. Well, it isn't a lie. It is that good. The best part is after you string a note, the needle points to the tuning VERY fast and tight. Thumbs up.

The other thing I bought, was a set of String Savers saddles. If you have guess it, it is for my "Malmsteen". I like this guitar to look relic and used. However, I hate rusted parts. Why? Well, I hate the fact that the threading of the screws tends to wear out after rusting and not to mention, it leaves your hands really dirty after playing. So, I was contemplating on changing either the saddle height screws or the saddles themselves. Since a set of them retail for just below $40, I chose the latter. I wanted the full String Saver version but they only had the classic version left for my bridge's size. I got it anyway. The rust cannot stay!
