rjhalsey Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Well guys, I have been conducting some research on the Trem King tremolo for some time now and I think this tremolo is absolutely awesome so I became a dealer. I have them in stock. You can check them out at http://www.tremking.com/index.html and they have a VIDEO you have to see! They also have instillation instructions on the web site if you are curious. Pictures and Pricing below, PM or email me if interested. Price includes free shipping CONUS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuhlbkUkvGs Strat Trems: TK-1 The TK-1 is a drop in replacement for most vintage style tremolo units. Some routing inside the spring cavity may be needed on certain models. TK-1-CR: 111.97 TK-1-BK: 118.97 TK-1-GD: 125.97 Tele Trems: TK-2 This model is designed for guitars that have a slanted single coil pickup at the bridge that mounts to the bridge plate. The vibrato works exactly the same as the TK-1, but uses a different bridge plate. Routing of a spring cavity is necessary for installation of this unit. TK-2-CR: 125.97 TK-2-BK: 132.97 TK-2-GD: 139.97 Universal Trem: TK-3 This model is designed for other style solid-body guitars with no existing trem route. This model features a smaller footprint than traditional trems and requires LESS body routing than traditional trems. TK-3-CR: 118.97 TK-3-BK: 125.97 TK-3-GD: 132.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3'sCoffinTreeLegacy Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Wow, I live close too. I'll be catch up there soon. Quick question though. Is it possible to bottom out the strings enough so you can pop it and catch the harmonic on the way back up ala Dime?

komodo Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I wonder what the minimum body depth can be? From their routing templates, they are asking for more than 1.75". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjhalsey Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I wonder what the minimum body depth can be? From their routing templates, they are asking for more than 1.75". It would be the same for a Fender Strat trem. The specs they list in the instructions are normal trem cavity dimensions. I would not go less that 1.5" though.

cajunboy2k Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) A quick question about the Trem-King: Does it require a locking nut, or will a regular nut and locking tuners work?

borge Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 A quick question about the Trem-King: Does it require a locking nut, or will a regular nut and locking tuners work? my guess is its the same as any other trem, you dont NEED a locking nut or even locking tuners, but it sure will help.

rjhalsey Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Trem King released a new model the TH-3 to modify a guitar without a tremolo. I have the chrome version in stock and can special order black and gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudz Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 What is the sustain like on these compared to other trems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjhalsey Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 What is the sustain like on these compared to other trems? The sustain is better because the bridge is permanently attached to the body. This equates to better string vibration transfer to the body.
