How to loosen bridge on a Luke & use vibrato?

[robzenbie]

The bridge on my Luke is "screwed" down, and i would like to know how loosen it up and use the whamy bar. Will the guitar come out of tune if i do this? I'm just learning to play and want to know what my guitar can do. Thanks- EMPYREAN

You need to loosen the screws on the claw located in the back.

Follow these instructions to get it back to float.
How do I set up my '99 Luke with the floating tremolo?

With your guitar tuned, loosen the two big screws in the trem cavity in the back of the guitar so the back of the bridge lifts a little. The strings will have de-tuned a little, so re-tune the guitar. Now measure the gap between the back of the bridge and the top of the guitar. Adjust, re-tune, and measure as needed to get approximately 3 mm (1/8") gap.

Do you have a piezo on your Luke?

I swear to Petrucci that I read this "How to loosen bridge on a Luke & use vibrator."

It is far, far too early.
