Tremolo arm and Mono Case

[GuitarHuetta]

It’s been said that you can leave the tremolo arm on the guitar while storing it in the Mono Case. I however experience that the arm is touched and lowers the string tension just before it closes. I’m talking about a Silhouette Special. So I will take the tremolo off before put it in the case.

Any thoughts or experiences?

I have always removed the trem arm no matter what type of case, but my understanding is even if the trem arm is touched no big deal

Thanks, good to know.

I almost never remove the trem arm. Even in my Mono Sleeve gig bag, which is already a tight fit. Just shove that guitar in there. It'll be absolutely fine!

I never remove the trem arm on my guitars and I never had a problem with that !

Interesting nobody removes it!

I ask because I heard some day it’s better to keep the neck on tension (so with strings on tune)

Otoh it’s just a bit loosing the tension, so I leave it on also from now on.
Thanks!

Silo is great, just not enough time with it yet

Great to hear! Here the same. Today was my first day to connect it to my gear since I got it. Will post some soundsamples later!

I am the one person here (so far) who does.

I have always removed the vibrato arm for storage. Old habits, and all.
