I’ve got medium springs on mine now. It helps with the de-tuning problem all floating trems have when you bend strings. Less palming I have to do to keep things in tune.

Mine didn’t. But I didn’t play the strings that came on it for very long before changing them out. I usually play 8.5 or 9 gauge strings, so I had to re-setup the guitar. I do that with every guitar I buy no matter what the price is.

I know. But there’s tons of videos on how it sounds and plays that do more justice than I can. I didn’t change the pickups or any other electronics. I just changed a few things mechanical to increase stability in my opinion. And increase is the key word. The guitar straight out of the box is more stable than a JEM Jr. that you would pay more for.

The thing with the Gotoh trem being a smaller radius. The low E and high E action could be set to your liking, but the A, D, G, and B might feel odd since their action height doesn’t follow the same radius.

Thank you for commenting!

@@heavymetalham I understand that it might look like a huge radius mismatch but in practise the difference in string heights between the two guitars is absolutely negligible. The thing that made the greatest difference to each Jr was to slim (4mm thinner from 1st to 17th fret) and reprofile ("D" to shallow "C") the back of the neck, scallop frets 21-24 and give the whole neck an Oil/Wax finsh. They now feel better than my Japanese Jems 😇 Fretwork on both was great 'out of the box' (maybe I was lucky there...

@@ThePedroDB how much relief do you have in the neck?

@@heavymetalham 0.2mm @12th Fret. Capo on 1st fret. Pressed down @24th fret

I have made up three different sets of radials to test. I have a couple camping trips planned in late April to do my testing. Thanks for watching!
