Xykhron is a jewel in the rough
You can block your tremolo by yourself:

With the trem perfectly horizontal, look into the trem cavity and take the measure of the space among the trem block and the guitar body (there are two space: one "pointing" to neck and one "pointing" to bridge...I'm telling about the one to neck).

Then, get a piece of solid wood, (more solid = better transmission of vibrations through it). Now you must cut this piece of wood to fit that space in trem cavity.

Now, put the wood into that space. It must fit it perfectly, so the trem must be perfectly horizontal. Then, put the 5 springs on the trem cavity that hold the trem.

You have it ready to play. The tension of the strings is compensated by the 5 springs, wich is far greater than the strings can produce. And the tension of the springs is stopped by the piece of wood (important: solid!...it suffers a great tension).

And if you want to have again the tremolo, you must only put off the piece of wood and put the strings as originally were.

i use 9-voly batteries and tape in mine. It adds weight to the guitar as well, lol.

Looking for an Ibanez RG970XL
