@WinyardProductions its ok man... but next time, read the comment carefully... and besides, i was also looking for tremsetters however none of them are available in my music stores...

and we are thankful to mr. dave borisoff for inventing this... the tremsetter may be simple but EFFECTIVE tool for electric guitars...

@WinyardProductions Moved to my reply section...

@cjetelomar2010 Actually, just making a general comment on the install procedure for others to see and not make the mistake of less springs (according to the manual) when it comes to a FloydR setup. Wasn't aimed at anyone in particular...

General comment. Sorry if it seemed otherwise, not the intention.

The manual says, "when setting up the trem try and only use two springs". For a FoydR that isn't enough you should use at least three springs. It's NOT a spring replacement but a "TREMSETTER". I think it does this very well it 'Sets the trem'. Being able to play the low E or A string and then bend groups of notes like playing a Les Paul is unique. No matter how many springs you put on a FR without a TS the E or A will detune with note bends - period!

@WinyardProductions dude, chill... calm down... im not opposing you, we're on the same page... i LIKED the tremsetter... that's why, if im going to play another vintage american standard strat, ill make sure to use the TREMSETTER wisely to play a strat much more fun and fuller tone than ever...

likei said, i agreed on that... so chill out dude...

[cjetelomar2010]

@WinyardProductions thats my point... and thats why i agree on that... seems you're angry at it... what's wrong with yah?

im stressing out that using a tremsetter can replace locking tremolo system... as for my strat, there's no need for me to use a floyd or going for 5 springs to stay in tune... the manual rightfully says: you only need 2 springs and tremsetter to set it up properly..." and it did worked and i agree with you...

are you mad? didnt you read what i agreed with your comment?

[cjetelomar2010]

@WinyardProductions i agree with you... no matter how you set up the guitar to stay in tune, 5 springs may not be enough... even using locking trem system wont be enough...

though there may be effects when playing with tremsetter, but the chords are clearer and much easier to be played... great invention

I happen to think the TREMSETTER is a great product.

...and yes, you can still dive bomb and wrench the Trem arm back as you normally would.

If you've used a Guitar Synth like a Roland with a 13 pin connector you know how a slight change in pitch can be a bad thing, the Tremsetter fixes that! I think a lot of players actually slowly go out of tune without even realizing it. The Tremsetter is a solution to many tuning issues...

Like it!

You'll notice in the youtube that after changing out the middle spring the screws are tightened in further to compensate for the sag. This is an important step, to tune the guitar after replacing the spring claws with the Hipshot single claws and check that the whammy is in the correct position - Especially on a Floyd Rose Trem.
