special design tremolo arm

[Tab]

Yes, I have tried one and I still prefer Strats with the traditional trem arm ( yes I know the shapes has changed over the years)

have you actualy tried one mate???

Your tone seems to imply that I am criticising your post, but that's not the case at all. I'm sure some people do indeed prefer this different style of arm – it's all down to personal choice. My comment was a genuine enquiry as to why that would be, since I have never experienced any problems muting with a normal arm fitted. I would neither try to dissuade or persuade anyone to try the alternative design, that's none of my business.

nah im ok mate my tone is fine i was just asking thats all
they are good tremolo arms and i understand that you prefer the standard tremolo
thats fine. its each to there own. i just like the idea that you can get even better access to mute the strings more with your palm thats all mate i
didnt meen to give the false impression i was being touchy sorry

Having been playing my Brason Strat with full Easimute system for simply ages and ages, last night (just for a change) at Hankies I played my good old MIJ 57 Re-Issue which has the "standard-as sold" trem arm.
I have to say that there was no difference in playing position, waggle-ablity or palm muting.
The Easi-mute is however a lot prettier - - if that matters.
