Tremolo bar problem solved.

[Rialas]

A tip for my fellow MusicMen
I've googled this and nothing has come up.
I've been using my AL HH lately as I just connect to the instrument.

Whenever I've picked up my AL SSS, I've had to endure play between the tremolo bar and bridge. I actually thought there was a fault somewhere but haven't been able to trace it for months.

I removed the back plate and to my pleasant surprise, found a tiny Allen key screw which takes up slack between the arm and bridge.

Now the bar stays where I place it, and no more horrible play, even though very slight, was very off putting. I've also adjusted my axis.
Very happy. These bridges are fantastic.

If you look up the guitar from the bottom while pressing down on the whammy bar you will see a small hole. You can use an allen wrench to tighten the pressure against the whammy bar. This is what will keep the bar in place and make it not hang loosely. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the hole at the bottom of the bridge block in your picture is used to adjust the height of the whammy bar.

Ok, thanks. I'll check that out. At the moment this seems to have done the trick.

Ok, I think understand the bridge a bit better now.
The Allen key you mentioned does tighten it.
The one I tightened also helps, as I like to push the bar as far as it goes so it clicks in place, and then the bottom Allen key gives it contrary support, which is why it worked for me.
Anyhow, all good now.
