@deathwish959 It's interesting to know the history and to know the real meaning of vibrato and tremolo from a soundwave point of view, but I guess you can't call it a mistake today since the name "tremolo" is widely accepted as being also the name of that arm or whammy bar. You will find many objects today that people refer to by names that stuck for some reason or another, frequently prodcut models or brands. To be honest, you are the first one I saw naming it vabrato instead other names.
@afsartori sorry for the typo, but they have been called vibrato's since early gibson days in the 40's and 50's. fender made a typo when they came out with the strat in the mid to late 50's and accidentally called it a tremolo. the name has just caught on over time, it's a common mistake.
@deathwish959 I don't know what you mean... Vibrato is a technique in which you oscillate the pitch of a note using your fretting hand. Tremolo (and not "tremelo") is that arm or whammy bar, that you see attached to the bridge, and this is what I meant.

@deathwish959 No problem, it is actually good to remind people of the original/real meaning of things.

@afsartori Well, not exactly attached to the bridge like on the strats, it's further behind as you see. I don't know the exact name of that piece.
