Hey Doc Thanks and ur right I got a little sarcastic last post cause my first attempt was much more in depth about Some new problems I faced having never owned a tremlo setup. By the third draft I cut out most of the details which expressed my serious appreciation for all that post with help regardless of how new a person seems.

My problems revolved around having no experience with tremlo or how to properly set it up/tune . It took 4 days before I discovered the fine tunning screws on the bridge side used to tune after you the lock nut. With a little input and few weeks of use its dialed in no probs. I also noticed the action went south somehow when after a week my string height had doubled making it almost unplayable. At this point I realized that it was time for a pro set up all the while suspecting that the tremlo was to blame. This had never happened before and it was the only difference from my past guitars.

Again thanks to links provide by forums I gained a little know how and ended up applying bout 3/4 turn to the truss rod. Shazamm....like a Cadillac. In short there is a little learning curve if you have never owned a tremlo.

My real question pertained to pups and had hoped to gain a little insight thru others experience. The Quadrails originally installed sound nasty. Now even thou I'm hard rock-Metal kinda guy SRV is one of the guitar gods. I'm always practicing his songs ....or trying to and these pickups are semi efficient at one thing...distortion.... which I love but what I need is clarity/tone/distortion. I know there are many contributing factors but just exactly how do alder wings fit in??? I'm playing a Kramer Baretta-strings uknown thru a Peavey Transfex 212pro
