Trying out the TremKing tremolo

[damianhagger]

Sorry for the delay in my reply. I think the TremKing is a great product, however it's not a conventional tremolo. It does not depress below zero like a floyd rose, so you have to be aware of that. However it does stay in tune and is a great expressive tool. Hope that helps!

Hi, what do you think 'bout this trem ? I would buy it but I'm afraid of making a mistake in purchasing, so can you tell me what do you think about this product ?

[shockwavecrisis]

can you put a trem king in a guitar that has a floyd rose tremolo or a ibanez edge tremolo?

That is what makes trekking an awesome whammy , it is a fixed bridge , all of the tremlo action happens in the block , it's hard to explain but if you look up more demos I'm sure that one of them will explain it better :P

[wickedexp]

Does this tremolo rise up when you put new strings on it & try to tune it or does it stay in position? I have this problem when putting strings on my strat, especially if it involves different tunings & different gauges.

nice vid, i have the same guitar and also want to install a Tremking.

Could you tell me if the guitar needs a lot of routing to make this fit?

As far as i can see the cavity should be pretty much large enough escpecially for downbends.

[brandon9271]

what if you do double stops or bend with hitting open strings.. do they strings you aren't bending go flat? That has always driven me crazy on Floyd style trems

[dre0921]

can the trem king do jeff beck style warbles

[mechahead1]

is this video reversed! cause im lefty, and i was lookin 4 a tremking for my badwater sro

[SoundOfAShark]

So you can downtune to D (not drop d) from standard?

[RaveSnoreThrong]

This isn't anything like a transtrem, mainly because it doesn't transpose. I think you mean something like the R or S trem which does what yours does.

[otakumei]

hey, if you do a heavy bend does it go out of tune like they say the kahlers do?

[SoundOfAShark]

@otakumei Nope it won't.

But honestly the kahler thing has gone so far with the bending issue its just got stupid now. Just lubricate the saddles, stretch the strings, tighten everything up on the saddles and make the spring tension low, Its simple but people just make a big deal out of it.

[rhykko77]

I have heard that there is a subtle, but noticalvle resistance when you pass though the neutral positon ......Can you do subtle vibrato around a note....slighty up and slighty down.....without a clicking feeling ?

[damianhagger]

There is a definite neutral position, although there isn't really a "clicking" sound when you move into or out of it. I think it would make it hard to move seamlessly above and below it without it sounding a little awkward. Just my humble opinion! Thanks for checking it out!

[guitarvibe75]

hows the sustain?

[wooki97]

nice very nice, damian

[101Volts]

Which model is this Trem King, The TK-1 or TK-3?

[damianhagger]

Hi - it's the TK-1. It required a little additional routing to get it in there, but stays nicely in tune.

[101Volts]

Thanks, I've tried a Trem King and I thought it worked incredibly well although I haven't bought one yet. One more question, Has your Trem King ever broken any strings? I wasn't able to play the one for long.

[damianhagger]

Sorry for the delay in my reply, lol. 1 month late! No string breakage from the Trem King. I use Elixirs and they hold out pretty well.

[101Volts]

Thanks for the reply! I can understand why it took a month to reply, I suppose the one person I heard complaining about strings breaking had a faulty unit.

[mechahead1]

@damianhagger r u lefty?

[Timbonen]

sounds nice!
