Help! MM JP15 - Tremolo bar is loose

[cailloux44]

Hi all,

I'm new in the forum as well as in the earnieball family.
Just made the acquisition of a JP15 Blueberry burst guitar which sounds and looks fantastic!
However the tremolo bar is a little too loose for me and I'd like to strengthen it a little bit.
Unfortunately I really don't knowhow to do that and whether it's even possible.
Could anyone please help me?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pierre,

Dive the tremolo and look at the rear edge of the tremolo in alignment with the bar (on the main block behind high E saddle). There is a small hex screw that can be adjusted to control the tension on the arm.

Cheers,

I always wondered too, and never actually took the time to figure this out. Lazy bum.. =D

Thanks for the thread Cailloux, and thanks to Pete for the info as well.
