    What about a Tremol-No? I haven't used one yet on a vintage trem, but it worked fine for me on a licensed Floyd.

      Good call, Chad. According to the FAQ, the Tremol-no will fit on a v-trem just as well as a floyd. A totally reversible mod is always the way to go in my book.

        Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.

          Actually if you tighten the 6 screws down it tilts the bridge forwards due to the slant under the front. Since those trems usually sit on top of the body, all you have to do is put 5 springs under it and tighten the claw.

            Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

              I´m a proponent of the 5 springs and tightening the claw, but for people that are still bothered by thje reverb the springs generate the trem can also be blocked from both sides and the springs simply removed. Reversability rules

                You can also jam some pickup box foam (like Duncan's, not the thin sheet that comes with EMGs) under the springs right next to the claw.

                  No, actually, you just remove all the springs, and epoxy the trem to the top of the body.
