Hi guys. I'm thinking of putting a tremol-no on my JP. I notice the stock claw on the guitar seems to be wider than usual. Do I need to drill new holes for the tremol no?
Not normally due to the width. However, even if you did need to drill a couple small holes to reinforce the TN or to position it perfectly, no big deal, it's in an area the unobservable. The good thing about it is, they are easy to install i/o whenever the urge is there.
I have that unit in several of my guitars - works great.
It stays in tune really well indeed, but I need to play with nonstandard tunings every now and then. I block the trem on my other guitars for this purpose, but for the JP I want to let it float whenever I use standard tuning, because the trem just feels amazing.
