Of that thing that replaces the trem claw in your guitar so you only have to turn a single screw to move both the left and right side of the claw?

No it's not a tremsetter. All it does is adjust the claw. It has no effect on your playing, it just makes it easier to adjust the bridge.

If anyone has one they aren't using, I'd be happy to buy it off them. The price is a bit steep new.

Never heard of it, but it sounds handy. Good luck on your search.

Re: What's the name...
You know, I heard your description and was about to ask “what’s the point?”
I looked at it... is it so you can more precisely set the string tension for a floating tremolo? More specifically a lightly sprung Floyd? (My floating Strat with 10-52 and 5 springs needs pretty coarse adjustment with a screwdriver, I’m not used to a 9-42 set with 2/3 springs...)

Re: What's the name...
Well, I'm mainly getting it because I've gone and stripped one of the screw holes on my main Strats. I've figured since I'm near always experimenting with different strings and brands on that guitar, I might as well get one instead of simply fixing the hole.

It requires not a screw driver, but the same 3mm hex key you have for your Floyd, it adjusts smoother, it's always parallel to the block, and it doesn't involve using a metal/wood connection as the adjustment. It's not a massive change, but if I'm going for perfection with this guitar, why not?
Yeah, that's the one.

You could have an access hole cut in the back plate cover with this, couldn’t you?

Yeah, so you wouldn't even have to take the cover off

Re: What's the name...
I like to fiddle around with string guages. I mean after all, if there are 50 different types of strings on the wall at GC, what are the odds that the one I have is the right one?
