How does a floating bridge effect string life?
Like any tremolo bridge design, the objective is to allow the musician to change the tension of the strings dynamically. Anytime a string is taken through a dramatic change in tension, it will effect lifecycle and it’s ability to retain it’s elasticity. If you are continuously reaching for the whammy bar, you are cycling through the string’s elasticity. This will eventually take a toll on the string’s ability to retain it’s original specifications.
