        Yes, there were quite a few threads on these. I have 4 or 5. I can't remember. Very nice units and they work quite well. They also have a forum at the Tremolo-no website.

          Does the tremol-no help with string bends and keeping the other strings from going out of tune when bending?

            I installed one on a Tom Anderson. It works great with a D-tuna and stays in tune quite will with the tuning change. Am going to put some on my guitars as well.

              The tremol-no will only do that when you set it to completely lock the trem. Otherwise, when it's in either full-float or dive-only mode, it has no extra stabilizing effect to keep the other strings in tune when bending. Something like a Hipshot Tremsetter would be better for that, but then there's the tradeoff of it affecting how the trem feels & works.

                I got a guitar for chrissy that has a tremsetter on it. With the old strings it was working well but I haven't bothered setting it up now its restrung and its a pain in my balls, is it the same as these things?

                  No, the Tremolo-no is completely different. It provides free float or you can lock it down with the thumb screw to make it a hardtail. It also makes re-stringing a breeze on a Floyd. You can also get backplates with a cutout for access to the thumb screw, if you use a backplate. Budman, www.fretsonthenet.com has these or you can modify your own. The templates are on their website.

                    Which model of the Tremol-No would fit on a Charvel Model 3?

                      Either the pin type or the new clamp type will work, but the pin type is recommended. Here's their compatibiltity chart:

                        Way to go DG, I couldn't find that chart. I must still be asleep.

                          I have one- Works exactly as advertised. I did a write up from a total rookie's installation perspective on the kramer forum- never posted it here, but here's a link.

                          I'd do it again, and may eventually put one on all my recessed floyd guitars. Very easy to use and has the added benefit of floating the trem in tune simple.

                            I've had one of these sitting in my parts bin for about a year and 1/2 now.
                            Been meaning to put it on an SL1 but keep putting it off.
