Duff Beer Man Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Im kinda confussed about what the difference between a regular tram cav and a recessed trem cav is. Does the JEM have a recessed cav? How can i tell the difference between these? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ← This isn't meant to sound sarcastic.. i promise but the regular trem sits flat atop the guitar body and the recessed one is just that.. a hole routed out in the shape of the trem lets the trem's knife edge be lower into the body. Several advantages to recessed.. string height is not so bad, lets you remove wood so you can pull the trem back further, aesthetic look, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Beer Man Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Can you give a couple examples of recessed and non recessed cavs? Can a cav be recessed too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
