Les Trem II
Parts included:
1 Duesenberg Les Trem II incl. spring
1 tremolo arm
2 Mounting bolts, M8 threads
2 Mounting bolts, US threads
4 Washers
2 Allen keys (2.5 und 4 mm)
The four washers are supposed to increase the distance bet-
ween the tremolo and the guitar‘s surface to avoid damages.
The enclosed mounting bolts fit either M8 or US threads as
used on most American guitars.
Mounting instructions:
1.
Take off the strings and the stop tailpiece. Remove the
original bolts.
2.
Screw the tremolo bolts (M8- or US-threads) into the
screw collars to test if they fit. Then remove them.
Installed in minutes
- no drilling or routing necessary!
The
Duesenberg Les Trem II
is a small (but great) tremolo
system for guitars with tunamatic bridge and stop tailpiece.
Installation doesn‘t take more than a few minutes. And it
can easily be uninstalled, because no additional holes are
needed.
The tremolo is mounted in place of the stop tailpiece. Ins-
tallation is child‘s play. Inaccurate positioning is absolutely
impossible!
Important:
The distance between the bolts is exactly 81.5
mm (center to center). This is a standard. The Les Trem II
only fits guitars that have this measurement.
Be sure to check this before installation!
3.
Now place the
Les Trem II
onto the screw collars and
check the gap under the tremolo. The tremolo should not
touch the guitar surface. If so (i.e. because the screw collars
are not high enough, or because the top is extremely cur-
ved), simply put one or both of the washers between the
tremolo and the screw collar.
4.
After that, mount the tremolo using the fitting screws.
5.
Tighten the bolts sufficiently!
We strongly recommend
using the correct screw-driver. Otherwise you might
damage the screws‘ slots.
6
. Push the tremolo arm through the arm holder so it‘s back
end projects about 5-10 mm. Tighten the Allen screws
softly with the 2.5 mm key.
7.
String up the guitar
and tune!
It‘s important to tune the
strings now, because the strings‘ tension pulls the
tremolo towards the neck which changes the angle of the
tremolo arm.
8.
Finally loosen the previously tightened Allen screws and
adjust the height of the tremolo arm to your requirements.
Now tighten the Allen screws firmly!
Done - have fun with your Les Trem II!
