Yes, our Schaller tremolo can also be ordered as left-handed versions. However, the "original Floyd Rose tremolo" we produce must be ordered directly from Floyd Rose (www.floydrose.com).

Our high-end Schaller LockMeister® tremolo, with its steel base plate and screws finished in black zinc, is not yet available in a left-handed version.

Yes, we also produce the original Floyd Rose tremolo for 7-string guitars; however, these have to be ordered directly from Floyd Rose (www.floydrose.com).

No, we do produce the tremolo for Floyd Rose, but you will have to order the original via www.floydrose.com. Of course, our recommendation is to buy the Schaller tremolos, which are identical except for the base plate.

Our high-end Schaller LockMeister® tremolo, with its steel base plate and screws finished in black zinc, is available through our distribution channels.

Yes, of course. Our tremolo is identical to the original concerning the measurements. You may also use our Schaller spare parts for the Floyd Rose tremolo produced by us.

The tremolo radius measures 12 inches and the nut measures 10 inches with the standard R2 and R3 nuts (see technical drawings in the product catalog under "Nuts"). You can find a list of all nuts and dimensions under "Guidelines".

Some nuts have the same width dimensions but different designations. The different designations are useful because, although the width dimensions are the same, the pitch is different (see Technical Drawings in the product catalog under Nuts). Please see for further information under "guidelines".

We supply the appropriate Allen key, which can be used to easily adjust the back parts on the nut.

This is very simple: screw the Schaller Sure Claw into the guitar body in place of the spring claw, then re-attach the springs. You can then adjust the spring tension as you want it through a small hole in the cover plate (please drill this yourself) without having to take the cover off every time. Also refer to the illustration on page 25 of the catalog under "Service/Catalog".

Further images can be found in the product catalog "Sure Claw" under "Pictures"

The height of the Schaller Tremstop can be adjusted; it is possible to - maybe not noticeable at first sight - turn the center piece with the three rings to the right or to the left for height adjustment.

Along with the tremolos and nuts, we supply wood screws and steel screws / Allen screws, so you can choose how to attach the nuts yourself i.e. either from the top or from underneath. The nuts are also specially designed so that you can use wood or steel screws without carrying out any modifications whatsoever.

Essentially, special studs are used to attach the tremolo, together with their own inserts. These have a fine thread. For special applications, we also supply studs with threads which can be screwed directly into the wooden body (i.e. without inserts).

No. The spring sizes on our tremolo systems are optimized and, in general, fit precisely. Please vary the number of springs used in order to obtain the required spring tension.

Yes. The only difference is between left and right knife edges.

Our Schaller spring tensioner (Sure Claw) is made mostly out of zinc, the worm gears are made of brass, and the claw of steel (see NEWS for more).

This is related to the taper of the fingerboard and has, in all previous experience, resulted in optimal playing properties. 12" and 10" measurements are the most frequently used sizes in the guitar industry.

Yes, that is exactly right, the radii are the same. These measurements are the ones most frequently used in the guitar industry, and are proven to be effective.

Yes, these can be ordered via our standard distribution channels. A detailed list of all locking nuts can be found under "Guidelines".

Please request a new adhesive pad from us. This is a special type of adhesive tape, which holds extremely well to the guitar body without damaging the surface.

This tremolo is a little more difficult to use due to its missing tremolo block and the fact that the springs can not be adjusted. Therefore please use the tremolo slowly only. To change the pitch please turn down the height adjustment screws as far as possible. If the string tension is not sufficient to balance the tremolo, you might try to remove or replace the middle tension spring. Everything depends on the string thickness, as well (ask guitar maker).

A detailed installation drawing can be found under "Guidelines".

The drive-in sleeves for our Schaller LP Tremolo have a diameter of 10mm. Unfortunately, we cannot provide an appropriate sleeve for every imaginable size, and have thus decided to use only one size, i.e. the size that is used most frequently in the guitar industry. In these special cases, you should therefore contact a guitar maker who can work either with changes to the guitar body or with spacer sleeves.

A detailed installation drawing can be found under "Guidelines".

Yes, it does. Our Schaller Assembly Tremolo LP was specially developed for simple replacement of the original bridge on Les Paul guitars. Please use this tremolo in accorance with the design i.e. carefully. Incidentally, all Schaller tremolos travel in both directions.

The base plate is used to earth the tremolo, i.e. to avoid disturbing interference. If you are making the change from a combination such as our Schaller stop-tailpiece and a GTM bridge to the LP tremolo, please proceeed as follows: Place the LP tremolo in place of GTM bridge and connect it together with the base plate to the stop-tailpiece.

We also supply 2 blind screws together with the Schaller LP Tremolo, so you can cover the resulting holes should you wish to remove the stop-tailpiece completely. In this case, use the LP tremolo together with the blind screws. In our product catalog, you can find an additional image of our LP tremolo which shows you how it is attached.

A detailed installation drawing can be found under "Guidelines".

There is just one spring size. We established this after an extensive testing phase. With this spring size, the LP tremolo remains in position, stable and level, when the tremolo is used normally.

No, the dimensions and the material are identical.

Schaller's "Original", "Floyd Rose" and "Low Profile" tremolo blocks are made of brass, and the "Vintage" and "2000" blocks are made of zinc.

When fitting the "Schaller Tremolo" or the "Schaller Low Profile" to your guitar, you can simply pull out the knife edges with a pliers and push the new ones into the insertion slot.
