setting up a floyd not to float!!!

[maiden666]

Actually I DO have a clue. I have had NO problems reseting the trem properly and maintain the proper tuning stability after doing this. It is basic. It isn't curing cancer....if you can't do it, then YOU are the NOOB.

To toejam, maiden666, and Bengal65: grow-up.... I was trying to offer the guy a viable alternative that WORKS. You are more then welcome to continue hiding behind your keyboards like a coward while shooting your mouth-offs in a cowardly fashion, but save your forum politics for your little tree-house club. And let me assure you, if I was standing right in front of you, you wouldn't be shooting your mouths off the way you did. Cowards. And thanks for the "welcome-to-the-forum" comments.... assholes.

my what a pleasent chap you are BIG RED KN.B i bet you arnt old enough to drink beer yet and still think your willy is used to wee over high walls.Man even my wife is laughing here in blighty:ROTF:

You can block your trem several ways (as mentioned).
Here's another way using parts you can find at Home Depot for under $1.


Assembled ...


And installed ...



There seem to be alot of egotistical know-it-alls on this forum that will argue what's "right" and what's "wrong" ... you do what's best for you.

thanks that looks good but i live in uk so would have to take a picture of this along to the diy shop

May I suggest a nut to lock the threded rod in place?May be you used a liquid thread locker is that the case?
That is a great low buck idea.... kudos.
Anyone bet Big Red is about 6 feet tall, 75 lbs and wears no shirts so all the women can see his array of jail house tattoos and count all his boney ribs.

Has anyone here used a Tremol-No?
If so can you give me your opinions please.

Why bother? That $1.00 fix is it. I bought a neck through V that had the glued wood solution. I yanked that out. This method is way better. And being anal, it should not impair the "Vibes" that is/are in the body wood.

Not all of us buy $100 guitars gramps!

You just wish you did. There about 10 jillion electric guitars here in the USA and you are not. Sad, but true. So, I can buy a 1983 Electra for $10. Take that.:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:

I have 3 of them Shobet. They work great. Kevan (inventor) is a member of the forum here. There were quite a few posts awhile back. They work great and no mods are made to your guitar. So, if you decide to take it off for some reason, the guitar will look completely stock.

They are simple to install and the instructions are very easy to follow. The only thing I have found that I don't like is that the thumb screws can be lost if you have the one locking one loose (floating trem). A little silicone seal in the threads kept mine from falling out.
