Tremolo Arm

Per Edward’s specification, the tremo- lo system is adjusted to rest on the body surface for maximum sustain and tonality. This will only allow the strings to be dropped below pitch.

This also ensures tuning stability when using the D-Tuner or when a string breaks. The instrument is equipped with two springs, which allow proper tension for the string gauge supplied with the guitar. The extra spring is

enclosed should you prefer to use a heavier string gauge.

Proper tremolo tension is achieved when the bottom of the tremolo bridge plate rests on the top surface of the guitar body without requiring excessive force to depress the tremolo arm.

The tremolo can be adjusted to operate as a floating style tremolo by loosening the spring tension. Turn the spring tension screws clockwise to increase the spring tension, and counterclockwise to decrease the spring tension.

This instrument should be tuned to proper pitch (A-440) before and after making adjustments.

Note	If the floating tremolo style is desired, it is
	recommended that you remove the D-Tuner,
	as its operation causes a change in string ten-

sion that will affect the tuning of the other strings. An extra string lock bolt is enclosed in the case, should the D-Tuner be removed.

CAUTION: Loosen all string tension before installing or removing tension springs. Tremolo springs are designed for high tension. Extreme care should be taken when installing and removing these springs.

The tremolo arm is inserted and screwed into the tremolo arm socket on the bridge plate. This assembly can be adjusted to control the amount of torque required to rotate the tremolo arm. Some players prefer the tremolo arm to stay in place when used. This can be accomplished by using the supplied 12mm wrench to hold the top of the tremolo arm socket while screwing the tremolo arm firmly into place.
