Setup
Variant 2:
You can also put the cart before the horse by taking advantage of the fact that the
stop of the
Tremolo Switch
determines the rest position of the tremolo:
First, deliberately set the tremolo's spring tension a little higher so that the
tremolo block pulls back and the base plate is thus no longer parallel to the surface
of the body. Then activate the
Tremolo Switch
. The stop screw should already
make contact with the tremolo block and push it forward a little. Now turn out
the stop screw until the tremolo block is vertical and the base plate of the tremolo
is parallel to the surface of the body again.
When this is done, secure the position of the stop screw with the lock nut on the
stop bolt. When tightening, make sure that the stop screw does not turn back in
with it. It is best to use a second open-end wrench to hold the stop screw in place.
Now tune the guitar and check the contact of the stop with the tremolo block. If
the tremolo block is still in contact, reduce the spring tension until it just lifts off
the stop. Note that the guitar will go out of tune when the spring tension is
reduced. Therefore, each time you change the spring tension, you should also
retune the strings. Retuning in turn causes the tremolo block to move. Balancing
the spring tension is therefore an iterative process, which is why it is not helpful
to screw only one side of the force equilibrium.
If the tremolo block already lifts from the stop after the first retuning, you have
to go the opposite way and increase the spring tension step by step.
For the most exact alignment of the stop, adjust the tremolo switch in playing
position as described in variant 1.
