So I’d been thinking about replacing the trem on my Ibanez SA. I’d always found there was too much play in the arm and it tended to fall out during gigs. Not good when you’re actually getting paid.
I was going to get a swanky non locking Schaller, which has a locking collar on the arm it’s self; just what I was after really.
So before I finally hit the go button on the order I thought I’d just check dimensions of the hole cut out etc. So it’s then that I spot, after two and a half years of owning this guitar, that there is a tiny grub screw on the trem block so you can tighten up the trem arm. Thirty seconds later the problem’s solved.
You know I’m an engineer and yet it’s taken me over two years to spot the simple solution to a mechanical problem.
:nervous:
