Yeah, tunning a Quarter step down doesn't sound like it will do much, but I think it makes a huge difference in tone and feel in my opinion. And his Bill Lawrence XL500, DR Strings, string gauge, and his Randall heads gave him a real edgy in your face tone. I think I get a fairly close Dime tone when I play through my rig when it's EQ'd right for this guitar. Another problem I have with trem's is when I play, I dig hard with the pick and I hit the bridge with my palm when I palm mute, and with a Floyd, you can tell every time I hit the bridge cause it causes the Floyd to pull back and raise the pitch. I feel like I can dig harder with a non trem bridge, and it feels more natural to me. And it's sucha pain to take care of, Re-string, Tune, etc etc. And I never use the tremelo, so I try and stay away from Trem's. Maybe when I get better technique with my picking hand, they wont bother me, but until then I stay away from them. Well that was a mouth full...
