I'll tell him you gave him Kudos! RE: Pressure up and down. When the TremKing is adjusted right, the pressure is really about the same up and down. Also, it is the same pressure just a little down as it is all the way down. Same for up. Feels more like a lever instead of a trem bar that increases pressure the more you pull up or push down.

OK, it stays in tune because of the "tension bar" behind the tone block. Only two springs are usually needed for the TremKing. One spring goes into the tone block. The other spring is in the middle and it attaches to the tension bar that rests behind the tone block. The tension bar butts up to a r/h and l/h arm on either side of the tone block and that serves as the zero point. The tension bar conteracts the string tension pulling on the tone block.

Well, for once it's a product I'm interested in...(don't need the Big V , or my organs enhanced* for that matter). And it's about time someone came up with a alternative trem for the telecaster. Do you have plans to publish routing diagrams on your site? I'd definitely like to know more, see more detailed photos there. (funny, the site's censor automatically converts both p-enis and v- iagra into the word 'spam' !) I can email you a routing diagram if you like. Or however you arrange something like that on this site. A .pdf file. And yes, we will eventually get that on the site as well. Simply the bridge and saddles are fixed. the tone block pivots on a bearing and a pin. The strings mount as usual thru the bottom of the tone block, but come out the back of the tone block about half way up. The strings wrap around a radiiused top edge of the tone block and up ove the Graph Tech saddle pins. Only two springs are needed usually. One spring to the tone block. the middle spring goes to the Tension Bar. This rides behind the tone block and counteracts the spring pressure. It also acts to stop any movement of the toneblock when bending strings, breaking strings drop tuning, etc.

Hi, I guess I spammed you without knowing what I was doing. The TremKing is a fixed bridge vibrato for guitars. We do make a tele version and it works great. Only a handful of players are using it on stage at the moment. George Marinelli with Bonnie Raitt and Gary Nicholson. Of course there is extensive routing for a tele. The strat version needs some routing inside the body. The TremKing is a fixed bridge, but the tone block pivots. So, there needs to be about 40-45 mm of room for it to swing back and forth. Grpah Tech is making our saddle pins. We have used their material for 2 years with no problems at all. I hope I am not spamming again... Rusty
