I

f you are not familiar with a tremolo 

installa on please consult a guitar tech or 
luthier for assembly.

 

The installa on 

requires knowledge and tools. 

A tremolo spring installer assure a secure 
tremolo spring exchange. An underlay 
between tremolo plate and guitar body 
holds the tremolo in a floa ng posi on with  
loaded tremolo springs (for quick string or 
spring exchange, intona on se ngs, etc.).     

The ABM 5400 is compa ble to the 

„Floyd 

Rose Original“

 rou ng template. In other 

words: If your guitar has got a „Floyd Rose 
Original“ tremolo mounted, the ABM 5400 is 
a perfect retrofit.
 
We deliver the tremolo with a 37mm high 
steel block. This standard is suitable for 
guitars with a body depth of 44,45mm with 
floa ng mount opera on and tremolo 
pocket. If your instrument shows a „Floyd 
Rose Classic“ rou ng template without a 
tremolo undercut you may need the block 
with a height of 42mm. Guitars with a 
thinner body may need a block height of 
33mm.

You can s ll order ABM 5400 with a 32 or 
42mm block. In this case please leave a 
message while the ordering process.  

All parts of the ABM 5400 tremolo are 
exchangable

,

 like the knife edge or the 

tremolo arm socket. 

Tremolo arm: The play of the arm can be 
adjusted as desired. The adjustment screw 
is located on the rear area of the tremolo 
plate next to the intona on screws. This 
lock screw adjusts the play between the 
arm and the DELRIN sleeve built into the 
tremolo block. This can also be replaced 
a er wear.

Saddle lock screws: You find them le  and 
right beneath the saddles in both 
sidewalls of the tremolo. As soon all 
saddles adjustments are made, please 

ghen both lock screws parallel to lock 

the saddles equal from both sides.
