Just lock, rip off the strings, clean the fingerboard and put new ones on? @Andrew: According to several reviews, the increased sustain in locked mode is quite noticable.

On my Ibanez, the backplate has access holes in it, so that you don't have to remove it when adjusting spring tension. If you absolutely insist on having the backplate in place, make an access hole!

Jul 15 2008, 09:23 PM	GMC:er Posts: 158 Joined: 20-March 08 From: Earth	I've had a tremol-no in my BC Rich virgin plat pro for a couple years now. They are a pain to install, especially if you have a guitar with a cheapish trem cavity. The screws that held the stock spring clamp thing were too close together for the holes on the tremol-no so my screw skinda bow in and its a bit crooked all around now. Another problem was that those little plastic pegs at the end of the arm on the tremol-no bump into the lower wall of the cavity if i dive too far. but it does the job of keeping it locked down, and and that's all that mattered to me at the time. I"m sure with a better-quality trem setup and a more professional installation it would be much better... oh well. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I"m sure with a better-quality trem setup and a more professional installation it would be much better... oh well. I also did it as a firsttimer, so my advice is firstly, look at the instruction they have on youtube, and secondly, LISTEN to it. If you know something's bogus, localize your error, don't go with it. I was close to giving up because I could get my floater horizontal, nor the string balance from high to low, NOR getting the tremol no paralell with my spring. Took quite some hours Edit: and about that diving, you should raise the whole trem. I had the same problem. Pain about the screwholes though man, you should fill em and drill new ones. Get a guitarshop to do it though, they have to pay for it then Reedit: I misread that. What do you mean by the pegs going into the bottom of cavity? mine only expands, and nothing else. Maybe we have different versions? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
