Allparts BP-2005–010 Tremol-No Chrome

It keeps the guitar in tune well enough. Before, every time I tuned, say, the 1st string, the 6th string and others down the line were knocked out of tune. Maybe the only thing that works better would be a wood block glued on the back, but that's pretty permanent, and this can be locked totally, or unlocked completely, or locked one direction only so it doesn't go back (or up on the bar). Easy enough to install but it will take 30 minutes or so.The instructions are not very clear so you've got to use your own logic. Backlash and residual play in the shaft will make it unsatisfactory so be sure, after it's all in and done, to screw in the wood screws a tiny amount (like 1/16 of a turn) before twisting down the Allen set screws. This removes backlash. (Don't be stupid and set those set screws first, use your brains.) They sort of explain this but not very well. Whatever you do, in all instances of tightening down, don't over-tighten or you'll break something.

This is a great little product. I primarily got this just to convert my Floyd Rose into a regular stop tailpiece. It is a bit tricky to install, I had a tough time getting the springs back on once I installed but somehow I got it. And once I did, the thing really works good. It's like it's not even a Floyd Rose anymore. I'm able to tune to anything whenever. The strings stay in tune very well too. I can't speak for using the knob to switch from tremelo to non-tremelo because that was not my purpose for this. But It does look and feel a little flimsy for that. I'm not sure that will hold up for that long switching back and forth with that. But like I said, I can't speak on that.Anyway, this is a great product. I like it and recommend it. Not bad price either. Works great. My only downfall is the install is a little tricky without the proper tools.

It actually performs like it says on the videos. However, I could no longer put the back cover of my Charvel San Dimas. The knobs also somehow grabs on to my jeans when I play standing. This is good if you want to lock your FR trem. Kinda looks cool than the standard spring hooks. It could also function as a down only lock for the trem, but whats the point of a floyd rose if you cant make it scream? It takes the fun out of it. So I'm not sure if its good or bad. I still kept it just in case I need it...I haven't used it since I installed it.

What a great product this is! I can’t for my life use a Floyd rose type of tremolo, I don’t wail I’m guitars and have zero need for one. Unfortunately my new guitar came with a tremolo and it was impossible to keep it operational the way I wanted it without fidgeting constantly with it. The tremolNO fixed all those issues without making me furious. The bridge is now a hard tail in the least labor intensive possible manner. I love it! Thank you! It’s made my life ten times easier with this beautiful guitar

This is such a great device! These now go on ALL my tremolo based guitars.- Fixed Bridge: Tighten a couple thumb screws (can be done quickly in between songs on stage) and use as fixed bridge. This can not be underestimated, fixed bridge improves tuning stability and string bend evenly (no lag from tremolo springs). And tuning is faster, no retuning strings multiple times because your spring is stretching because you tuned the other strings. Plus you can retune to drop tunings without changing guitars. Plus it makes it much easier/faster when changing strings, especially changing one string!!!!- Tighten one screw and use as dive only tremolo; (tuning stability) and can be done in seconds in between songs on stage. Also re-tune to drop tunings without having to adjust your tremolo springs.- Use your guitar as a standard floating tremolo by loosening both thumb screws.- This is not a bad thing to me: you will need to leave you back plate off it your plan to change the settings often. if you plan to set it and forget it, you may not have to leave it on. The first version of the Tremol-no stuck out ever so slightly so my back plate wouldn't go back on, but it looks like they have fixed that in this version. Your tone is supposedly better without back plate any way.- You can install yourself. just use common sense when removing springs (read instructions). hold hand over springs to they don't go flying.TIP: you may have to tweak the angle of the arm every so slightly so it moves smoothly. Follow instructions. I had a Suhr guitar that seems to work better/stay in tune when there was a tiny angle to slide arm. A 2nd guitar & 3rd guitar where I didn't need that angle. Follow instructions, listen to hear if slide is rubbing or binding. Also, I had to adjust the tension on my springs afterwards, no big deal (the wood screws)

I'll start by saying that this product was a lifesaver. I have a huge love/hate relationship with Floyd Rose bridges, and this makes it absolutely tolerable. Most importantly, it allows me to change my tuning at a whim without having to worry about setting up the bridge again. The installation was extremely easy, just run the tremolo screws out and insert the new bar. They were even thoughtful enough to include a place to screw down the ground wire, instead of requiring the user to solder it onto the new hardware. It allows you to block off the tremolo temporarily, but it also allows you to allow movement in just one direction.I highly recommend the Tremol-No. It is easy to install, easy to operate, and saves me a huge headache. This product is worth every penny.
