For argument sake, I put floating in the title. But it is irrelevant to my question. I have , are you ready, NEVER used the tremolo, vibrato, whatever you care to call it, on my Strats. Been playing them for many, many decades. So floating is NOT in this conversation, please.
I have always decked the bridge, never used a block of wood, ala clapton, etc. So, I have a new Strat 2020 model and decided to surf youtube for opinions, etc.
Really did not get any help here.
The reason I started this quest is because if you block (piece of wood) the trem while it's floating you do not change anything as in string height and length or intonation.
Decked, for me anyway, necessitates the need for adjustments. One youtube vid I watched the guy said decking the trem does NOT change anything. I say BS. I have 30+ years with it and it most certainly does. I also feel that I get more sustain and magic with it decked. I usually use 5 springs, "the old raw vintage" Fender Strat springs because they have less tension. That's just a personal preference with magical thinking.
Anyway, was wondering, what do you guys think is a better way if you do not plan on using the tremolo ever (like me). Thanks
BTW, NO,a Hard Tail Strat is NOT A STRAT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,for me
