Jag/Jazzmaster Tremolo Setup

Post by chutneyfarmer »

Heya,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good guides on how to set up a Jaguar/Jazzmaster tremolo system? Picked up a MIJ Jag today and the tremolo system needs a tweak. Also, if anyone knows a good source for CIJ and MIJ tremolo arms please let me know!

Thanks

I bought the trem arm and collet that staytrem makes, it is a very nice upgrade. what do you not like about your vibrato setup now?

The lock button is pretty loose. Slides across a lot more easily than on my CIJ JM. I adjusted the screw so that he late remains even when you lock and unlock it. What I really wanna fix is the plate at the back that the strings pass through. It seems really low compared to my JM.
