SC-2 DFV

Post by helmet4000 »

Hi there,

I ordered a G&L SC-2 (Himalayan Blue) with dual fulcrum vibrato from Guitar Center. It is expected to ship by 1/29. I want to add a some small step vibrato (like Hank Marvin).

I have not played one but returns are hassle-free if I don't like it. One concern is how well it stays in tune with vibrato use (not EVH dive-bombing small up/down accents).

Can anyone share their experiences?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom, I have an old SC-2 that has DFV and it holds a tune beautifully, once you stretch out the new strings of course. Same with my comanche, a 2013. I don't dive bomb either, but I have put both through the motions to test them out and no problems. Good luck with the SC-2 and please post some pics!
