Since we last spoke about tremsetters and other forms of blocking a floating bridge, I have been thinking...well it took me long enough to do this, actually it took that long for me to get up and go to the hardware store and buy some wood screws. So here you go, total cost of the project...5.99(I probably could have done it for less but I had to buy a box of 100 screws) This system works great and it only took a couple of minutes to install.

The screws I used had that built in washer for more stopping power! :D
 
Glad everything worked out well, but l'm not sure about putting screws into my beloved balls (um, Ernie balls). On my JP6, l just blocked the bridge, in the spring cavity, and works great, also did that for my original Luke.

Scott.
 
Wow Raz, that's very innovative with the screws- I hadn't considered doing it that way. Neat.

What I've done on my Floyds is to take out the trem block and put a shim between the block and cavity (facing the screws) so the trem won't pull up but will depress. I usually use bits of wood cut/sanded to size or plastic (old rulers work great) with some double-sided tape so the process is easily reversed.

I was thinking of blocking it with wood, but this way is fast and you can really fine tune the adjustment...
