headless Phil Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hello all does anyone know of any trem systems which can be locked / unlocked via the trem arm, other than the steinberger transtrem system? I do not need transposing facility but really want to be able to go from locked to unlocked trem on the fly. Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFC Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I think there is a wilkinson trem that can be locked with the arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 do you mean to make the bridge floating then fixed?? the tremol-no may soon be on the market to do just the thing to any existing trem.. if you mean just the arm, some of the wilkinson models have this feature.

Scott Rosenberger Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 You can't get the Wilkinson that locks anymore unless you can find one overseas. There was a patent lawsuit a few years ago and they had to stop selling them in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headless Phil Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Does anyone know the model of the wilkinson which can be locked via the trem arm? This is what I am after - the ability to lock / unlock by moving the arm. Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
