6 hole trem + tremol-no = ?

[rockskate4x]

Hello, fellas... I love my calaham 6-hole trem and I usually have it set up to float, but I find it annoying when I want to go to drop d or any open tunings. The tremol-no seems like it would be the right solution to the problem but I've only seen them with floyd type trems so far. Are they compatible with 6 hole tremolos, and if so which one should I purchase.

Hi - you find all info here:

I used a Tremol-no with a Wilky VSVG for alternative tunings a couple a years ago. Worked like a charm.

Really not.

The tremsetter returns the trem to "zero" - almost anyhow. Whereas the tremol-no lets you choose between hardtail, dive-only or full floating mode - but it will not inflict on how or where the trem stabilizes in full floating mode.

The Tremol-no is not even noticeable if the trem is set up for fully floating.
It's great for double stop bends when you have it set for Dive Only or Hardtail.  You can detune the Low-E fine tuner on a Floyd and go to Dropped-D very quickly and use the bar to dive with and then go back to fully floating once you've re-tuned the string back to E.

When I record, unless on the rare occasion that I have a rythym part that has some bar use, I almost always have it set to hard tail, and the increased resonance is easily noticeable.

Considering what some would spend on other aspects of their guitar addiction, the Tremol-no is not that expensive, and a very eloquent solution to the problem you describe.  It does work as well as advertised, and is well made.  I am going to get one next month for the guitar I am working on with a Floyd.  Good luck

I think the real problem is your bridge itself. You should send it to me and I will send you a Genuine 1957 RI Fender Musical Instruments unit that has been factory tested to perform as designed. :icon_jokercolor:
