Trem problem

[tanpsi]

Sorry I moved this here from other forum

I am interested in getting a DXMG and a DK2, I think they are great.

However I noticed when the trem is on there is a slight delay when you move the bar to when the bridge moves. this is obviously caused by a slight gap in the collar (cap nut) that the bar goes through. The guy at the store said that's just the way they are but I was wondering if any one here knew of a fix that I could do or have done?

Thanks

Re: Trem problem

I threw a OFR bar on my DK2 and the gap went away.Now it feels very solid.

Re: Trem problem

This is one of my biggest pet peeve with the trems on the newer Jackson imports......actually, most licensed FR's. You can buy a seperate higher quality arm such as an OFR arm. They usually come with the arm that has the threaded collar and the post that it screws into. They cost about $20 and arent hard to change.

Buy an original Floyd arm + collar for 15 bucks, problem solved [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Trem problem

Get some pipefitter's tape (teflon tape) and wrap the threads of the screw-on post for a slightly tighter fit, or wrap the bar itself below the collar in electrical tape so it's a tighter fit in the insert.

Or do like the others said and order an OFR bar and insert package.
