I’m considering a second guitar and thinking of going for a hardtail. I have a squire with a tremolo currently, but never use it because it goes out of tune, and honestly in a few years of playing haven’t come across anything I’ve tried to play that requires it. I haven’t seen one used in a single tutorial video.
If you aren’t playing Van Halen, do they ever really get much use?
I would buy a decent Floyd Rose, but don’t know if the tuning would be a hassle. Or if I went hardtail would I regret it later?
Other than some rock, where are these really used?
I also own a guitar with a tremolo, similar to yours. However, I don’t use it much as it often goes out of tune. Many online suggestions propose using a digital pedal for the effect you want. I agree with this - it saves you from the hassle of constant retuning. So, my advice is to get a pedal for the effect, and then pick a guitar that you really like. I hope this is helpful!
