$5 says you're overtightening the clamping screw on the tailpiece. This causes the faces of the tailpiece to 'flex' in the opposite direction, esp. if you're using the plastic pins on a thick trem block (like a vintage Strat).
If you want, swap out the plastic ones with the included metal pins. Do them one at a time!!! This will get rid of most of that 'flex'.

Remember: you're not holding up a building with it. It only needs to be on there tight enough to stop forward and backward movement of the trem block. Snug, then 1/4 turn. Done.

is that tremol-no a bridge stabilizer? if so, very cool.

Kevan · 01-02-2007, 06:59 PM

It's not a stabilizer, like the TremSetter.
It allows you to choose what type of bridge you want to use: Hardtail, Dive Only, or Full Floating.

Imma get one of those soon...

Looks sharp man, if I ever get another trem'd guitar I'm going to be grabbing one of these babies

Nik · 01-02-2007, 07:46 PM

You can't go wrong. I'm absolutely loving this thing

Kevan, you really need to strike some sort of deal where guitars come straight from the factory with a T-No!

Kevan · 01-02-2007, 11:06 PM

Thanks Nik! I'm glad you're having fun with it.

We're working with guitar companies on getting the T-No as standard equipment on some models. I'll post details as I get them.

Drew · 01-02-2007, 11:23 PM

Hmm. I've got the older style clamp one, and I DO have a tiny amount of "give" in the thing before it engages. I know you've been doing exchanges, Kevan, but I'm sort of tempted to just buy a new one so I can have a complete collectiopn.

Even the second gen. initial production version kicks the crap out of the original prototypes in terms of ease of setup, however - it sort of self-aligns itself into almost exactly where it needs to be to float smoothly. The original still fluttered pretty well, but the first production version is damned near perfect.

Kevan · 01-02-2007, 11:52 PM

Drew- send it to me. I'll swap out the pin for ya and make it nice and tight. Turn it around the same day (unless I'm at NAMM).
