QUOTE (BiGBeN @ Jan 9 2007, 02:46 AM)  double locking trem how would i find out the year of my guitar. One lock is at the nut and one is the bridge, double locks. I've also heard ppl say it's because it moves two ways, i.e can both be pushed and pulled, but I think the naming is because of the two locks. If you're new to floating tremolos make sure it's aligned to the body of the guitar. If it's angled down or up it wont stay in tune, I got my Ibanez from the store all set up wrong but I had experience from my old Charvel so I knew it was crappy setup. So don't blindly trust the store or previous owner have it set up right. About the year, for Ibanez Im quite sure of that the first two digits in the serial number = year. If you have a letter first that's = month (A=jan, B=feb etc.) -------------------- My bands homepage

Yes. You would have to "block" the tremolo though and have to do something like this This post has been edited by VIRUS: Jan 10 2007, 08:36 AM |
