There are so few people that use this aspect of the guitar that is pleasing to my ears. I would not want to jeopardize the action or tuning at the risk of adding something like this to an already fine piece of craftsmanship.



NO TREMOLO!

You can kind of fake the effect too with clever bends and slides. It's not a perfect imitation and I haven't found a way to make chords work super well yet but it gets pretty close. And as Boaz pointed out, there's always FX pedals!

Sorry, I have to be that guy: the correct term is “vibrato.” Leo Fender eventually learned the correct term, hence his “Dual Fulcrum Vibrato” bridge (a stylized version of the bridge he created before the Ball family starved him, and George Fullerton, out of Music Man Guitars) in his G&L Guitars era.

It's done so tastefully though! It's a great rendition and the organ type sound in the latter verse is so much fun to listen to - good job Boaz!
