Does anyone know what the thing is called to immobilize your Floyd trem and where to get one?

I have a http://www.tremol-no.com/. With these you can have a full floating tremolo (raise and lower pitch), a fully locked tremelo, and a dive-only tremelo (lower pitch only). They work very well and increase sustain a lot. Downsides are that they can be tricky to install and they are pretty expensive. (There are different Tremel-No's for different guitars so make sure you get the right one)

You also have trem stops

With these you can only lower the pitch (dive-only tremelo), so you can't lock them fully. They are cheaper though...

What you can also do is stick a piece of wood in the gap between your tremolo and your guitar body but I don't have any experience with this.

I ordered my Tremel-No from Thomann, but since you live in the US, you can order them from http://www.allparts.com/. According to the website Guitar Center and Sam Ash are official dealers so they should have them to.

Don't really know where you can find trem stops...

I'd recommend the Tremel-no as well!

I have a black box installed in my tremolo system. Tremolo remains fully functioal.
