Help! Luke official tremolo setup

[ksandvik]

Quick question, it is common for the Luke's tremolo springs to settle in so you need to use them for a while? Or, when you push the tremolo you get a snapping sound and the G-string snaps out of tuning and then with a quick push on the tremolo it snaps back to tune, is that normal for new guitars?

I would rather suspect that is a nut slot issue, try to lubricate it

 

[ksandvik]

Hmm, thanks I do lubricate the nut slots but I could add a little bit more in for the G string of course.

Urgent! Help me please

My Luke is set up to his spec. I can do chin ups on the trem arm and it won't go out of tune. I love it.

Hey everybody, my Luke Bfr is wrongfully setuped by the former owner. Please send a pic how and how many springs it’s supposed to be to get the bridge floating. He had 010. I just bought 009-42 EB strings and will change. Thanks in advance. Tompa

Hi,
it should work fine for 009-42 EB strings by using 3 springs (which I set parallel).

for trem adjustment.

Hi!I have my Luke II set to raise 1 step and a half on the G string. No problem at all. 2 springs with 9-42 strings. You could also put 3 springs but it would make the whammy bar a bit les soft to use.
I still haven't decided whether I should go with 10s or 9s but in case I should put 10s once again I would surely put 3 springs back once again.
The real issue with the Luke is the frets size from my point of view. You hate them or love them..
