ive seen that in the new reissue jazzmasters/jaguars they have a such thing called "tremolo lock" is this something that stops the arm from swinging all about and keep it in a place where it can be easily reached? or is it something in all jazz/jag trems that im not aware of it being called so?

Well, that page contains instructions on how to set up the JM trem which is a little confusing, but the lock itself is pretty simple. It's really just a block that keeps the trem from going sharp...kind of like setting up a strat trem to lay flat on the body. The beauty in it is that you can put a good amount of spring tension on it so that the trem always comes back to the same spot...and all the other strings won't go sharp when you break a string. I'd use that sucker if I had a JM. Don |
