Step 3: Vintage-Tremolo assembly
To attach the vintage tremolo to the ST-style electric guitar, first place the pre-assembled
vintage
tremolo (4
) from the front into the recess provided in the body and screw all six
fastening
screws (8)
into the pre-drilled holes in the body (see illustration).
Attention:
The six bridge screws should not be screwed in completely, but should protrude a little bit to
ensure a smooth function of the tremolo! We recommend that the screw heads protrude approx. 1-2
mm.
In the next step, the
spring claw (5)
can be fixed in the tremolo compartment of the body. Turn the
body over and screw the spring claw into the tremolo compartment with the enclosed
spring claw
screws (6)
so that the five claws are visible from above. The claw screws are not screwed completely
into the body and should protrude approx. 2 cm from the holes provided so that the working point of
the tremolo can be better adjusted during later setup.
Once the claw is mounted, the bridge ground should be soldered on first before inserting the springs.
Lead the black cable, which is routed via the small hole in the tremolo compartment, to the spring
claw, if necessary remove a piece of the insulation to free approx. 5 mm of the wire tip and solder the
connecting cable to the intended contact point of the spring claw. For the later assembly of the
springs, it is helpful to lead the cable to the side of the claw (see illustration).
