Wow, I never understand how people do that! I dont know if I just pick too hard or what but I break strings very often, or used to before I got graphtech saddles which are awesome by the way  :D

[The amazing Phil]

The only time I've broken strings while playing was when I was just starting and I'm pretty sure I was tuned waaay sharp. I've broken strings before I learned to take my time restringing, and I broke one stretching it which was infuriating! But I really dig in on occasion and nothing breaks, it all holds up.

Well folks, its arrived, its in, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. No complaints here.

It has to be said that I got it as a trem setter: my two favourite guitars have my least favourite bit guitar kit on them.....I got it to fix that. It does. I havent and likely wont use it to switch between fixed and floating.

However, as long as the travel of the bit thats attached to the trem is straight down the littel rod that attaches to the claw, and you have a decent stable trem, I really cant see how this thing can fail you. Its a very simple, solid bit of kit.

And they can be used to open beer bottles as well!

quite expensive for a bottle opener £45  :P

if i get my custom jem build on the go ill get one of those installed.

Seeing as this got ressurected, heres an update:

Test 1. My jackson, fully locked with a TN and set up in C# can be tuned up to E without any trouble (bar the 11-60s giving my forearms a workout  :lol: ).

Test 2. in restringing I tested the resistance to string breakage by taking off one string and leaving the rest. The remaining five didnt budge a hertz. You can break a string on this thing and not bat an eyelid.

Test 3. Same as test 2 but with only the raise-block engaged (i.e. trem can dive but not raise). Same result.

Only thing is, you better hope that doesnt happen when you have it floating.

If you're a sporadic and un-predicatable trem user, its not for you. If you know when youre going to use it and mostly dont, its A MUST.

I have a Tremol-No fitted on my 1957 Reissue MIJ Fender Strat and it's every bit as good as it claims to be, so easy to fit, takes about 10 minutes and works a treat at blocking off the trem for ultimate tuning stability.

Worth £35-40 of anyones money.
