They never thought of the potential for the Tremolno to block the A string as it was originally intended for double-blocking tremolo systems. but I can definitely see this being an annoyance.
Had one installed from Suhr on a Custom Classic I bought in 2012. It worked great and did everything it’s supposed to do. However! I finally had to remove it because when it was unlocked there was always a weird resonance/vibration present that I could hear and feel. Almost felt like there was a hollow, ghostly ring happening. It absolutely works excellently but there was an odd sonic quality and vibration that was off-putting.
I've had one on my Jackson Dinky for several years now, and started noticing when it's locked if I bend the strings I get a a click when starting and releasing the bend. I think it's coming from the hinge just before where the clamp is...
Crro que ese diseño tiene un defecto: La garra (Claw) se desplaza través de los dos tornillos cuando se realiza el movimiento hacia arriba con la palanca del trémolo. Ésto ocurre por el empuje que se ejerce en ese movimiento. Por favor, aclara esta duda.
This was advertised as "From free-floating to complete locked up tremolo on stage - on the fly". It took you 19 seconds to get a firm enough lock to call it a fixed bridge....You beat me to it. Nice gadget, but mine got play in the ( press fit ? ) hinges over the years so it didn't keep the tremolo in the blocked position anymore and that play made for a pretty loud "clonk" noise. I had to take it out 😓
Hey for changing strings is it really annoying? Or is there a kind of work around? Just got the new pinkish version of the DK24 and looking to get a tremolo blocker of some kind
3:28 any solution for that problem?Can you change strings with ball ends?Im just at the process of installing it myself on my charvel when i run into this and ended up by this video!
When you twisted the ground wire around the screw, and then screwed it in, I felt so damn retarded for not thinking to do that when I installed mine. I mean, the wire is grounded just fine on mine (friggin finally), but your way would’ve made it a whole lot easier. The wire kept slipping out from under the screw on mine, when I was trying to screw it in hahaha.
Muting spring resonance. Some people use heat shrink around the springs, or insert a small plastic fuel line to do the same thing. I've found that these methods tend to work better rather than what noiseless springs advertise. (my fav is the fuel line so far)
I saw in some forums that it would stop the FR from fluttering, or make it harder. Yet I see you performing it. Do you notice any big difference with a Tremolno? Are you happy with the change? Are there any pros and cons we should be aware?
You're right about fluttering, it still can do it but I'm not really happy the way it does, the old CLAW is way better. And you cannot ANGLE the new CLAW, because it is way thicker than the stock claw of the guitar. If you do a lot of different tunings on the strings You need this.
Why would you use it on a Fender Trem ? The tremolno has 3 Modes Locked (Fender with heavy/more Springs will do the same) Dive only (Default Fender Trem) And floating (not possible on a Fender)
@@neilbahay Why spend 60-100 bucks for that ? Like all you need to do is to tighten the screws when you tune down. You need to do it at one point anyway to get the bridge back in neutral position once you unlock the tremolno. If you tune upwards you doesn't even need it at all. You might just want to loosen the screws again so it's easier to use the whammy again

that first half was a joy to watch and really nicely goes over the install, gj brah, ty!

bro yes i was exactly looking to see this on a floating gotoh thanks

Same problem as what I had.

The clamp tremol n is ment for trens where the strins don't pass through the block eg Floyd's.
You Need to use the pin system.
Hey bro, where'd you get that black button like that you put in to the wire and screw it? Does it comes with the package? Thanks
Yes bro. It comes with the package
I have tried with a 7 string. Ibanez rg7320ex and... doesn't work. Maybe it needs something extra
How do you change strings with the clamp blocking one of the string holes? I have that exact problem.
I adjusted the clamp, and it's not blocking the hole anymore.

On the contrary, I’ve found the tremol no super convenient for string changes and maintenance in general.
3:28 any solution for that problem?Can you change strings with ball ends?Im just at the process of installing it myself on my charvel when i run into this and ended up by this video!
Yes you can. You can still adjust that clamp so that the the strings can get through those holes
Do all the newer pro mods have the same tremolo? I have the hss in primer gray,.. I'm assuming its the large clamp style.
Yup, it's the same trem.. get the large clamp style.
@@neilbahay sweet! Thanks man!
Great video but damn, I bought the small clamp for my dk24... Will that still work? I have a a floyd rose non fine tuner bridge as well.
The block I have is a tone stone 42mm l shaped...
The Charvel has a big bridge block you should get the 'Large' Clamp type... I think the small clamp type will work on your floydrose
Thank you! Another thing... Can you do whammy flutters with the Tremel no installed?
Yes! Flutter still works
@@neilbahay Wow, that's great news... some guy on some forum said you couldnt.

Next time, try to put the wire on in the direction that you are going to turn the screw.
After locking and droping the strings, can i unlock it to use the trem? Will it be the same or do i have to adjust the bridge?
No you cant unlock the trem, youll be out of tune
Great video.
What's the purpose of the yellow foam under the springs?

Why would you use it on a Fender Trem ?
The tremolno has 3 Modes
Locked (Fender with heavy/more Springs will do the same)
Dive only (Default Fender Trem)
And floating (not possible on a Fender)
It acts as a fixed bridge for me whenever I need to change tuning.

@@dasraupi2679 I bought it for only $40 😀 I don't have any issues with it.
Even the vintage Fender tremolos are commonly setup to float i.e. go in both directions so even those can leverage all modes.
the music is terrible
