Hi!

I need some help how to remove the JP's tremolo arm. I searched the forums and found some instructions, but still didn't get it. Can you please post some pictures of the tremolo cavity with the screws that hold the arm?

Note: I am aware that the case is designed to hold the guitar with the arm on, I just have no use for the tremolo at all and rather get the arm out.

Thanks in advance!

Just pull it out, make sure you are not putting any weight on the trem or pulling it in any direction as this will make it harder to pull out and it can potentially damage it.
So just pull it out vertically.
Its a pop in trem, not a screw in like a strat.

Spud , thank you so much for the video clip

I have my JP6 since August 2009, and never removed the tremolo arm, cause I thought that you have to remove the back plate and there to find the screw that holds it.

on MM site FAQ I could not find any information on this.

PS: yesterday, after watching your clip I did that 10-11 times - hahah ...to be sure I will not forget how to do it - hahahaha

Just done another video clip - here it is showing "That Guy" removing and inserting trem arms on Als and a Pet-I don't see what the problem is?
