So nice to see someone perfectly set up a tremolo. I use the same exact technique. It is flawless. Pay attention to this people. This is how it is done!!!!!

[@NeonBlazeMusic]

Great instructional video, exactly what I was looking for.

[@chrislestermusic]

‘Less crappier”...Ha! Great job Adam. That spring remover is awesome.

[@arlos21]

Any plans to make a block for the non Charvel 510? Has Different string spacing and mounting holes... I’m using a non Charvel Gotoh 510 in my DK24, but want the FU-tone Charvel brass block with the different string spacing and mounting holes.

[@gibsonfan159]

So if you float these tremolos you have to tune it by adjusting the claw screws?

[@nexus4googleplay612]

Anyone know if this will for sure fit an Ibanez AZ (Gotoh T1502)? I bought 2 blocks from other sources that were supposed to fit, but the screw spacing was off. =(

I absolutely can't say enough about the Gotoh 510 Trem-system on my 2014 Suhr. The Tuning-stability and Return-to-Pitch is Phenomenal. I am Amazed, everytime - that I use it. I will Never be without = Ended my Search for a floating-tremolo system . . . "That Actually Works" oNe LovE from NYC

[@ehsanhaq155]

As a fan of the 510 and all things two point terms might I suggest you give the infamous Vega trem a go sometime. Blew my mind.

[@eric_in_florida]

Dave from DWOFS would not be happy to see those crooked springs. Always make them straight he says.

Look at Jeff Beck's !!! :)

ORANGE CRUSH!!

[@ynot5150]

Shiiit...I have the HH version and and can't do a simple bend on the G string without it going out of tune!! Have had it set up, replaced tuners, nut filed, nut sauced, replaced string trees, and even blocked the tremolo. Still won't stay in tune! Done wasting time and money on it!!

[@MikeSTUDIO-fg8wj]

My Mexican Charvel had the worst stock spring claw. Had to upgrade to a Schaller with noiseless springs, way better. That screwdriver is dope.

[@brianvillage5]

I don’t know, it holds the springs and doesn’t give me any trouble.

[@Acekorv]

Hans Zimmer showing us how a gotoh trem works, nice!

[@DavidRamos-fx1bd]

The upgraded version makes the guitar sound soooo much better.

[@patrickjamesworrow1130]

Thanks, love the vid, there are not many out there that show how to set up a floating trem, when your guitar body is recessed, unless you have a F/R with a locking nut. I recently bought a Charvel Pro Mod DK24. I have no problem floating the tremolo but No matter what I do. I cant get the intonation where it should be on the Top E & A. I cant pull the saddles back any further as there is no room left on the spring. I should mention, it doesn't have the best cut nut I've ever seen, but it did pass the QC in Mexico & Peach Guitars right here in the UK. I've tried the usual remedies to rectify this, but nothing is working. Please help.

[@MrCalenture]

How do you get rid of major fret buzz on the low E string? No other string is buzzing?

[@acasadorocknroll7]

Beauty Guitar Charvel... Showww

[@scottbrower9052]

This video was VERY useful. Thanks.

[@frankie_CALB]

🤔🧐🤔 my unbelieving ears can’t believe what I’m hearing… maybe I should replace the block in my Suhr JM… (Stock) Clean Bridge: 0:37 (Stock) Clean Neck: 0:53 (Upgraded) Clean Bridge: 7:55 (Upgraded) Clean Neck: 8:11

[@taylorhackney9275]

What about the 7 string version of that trem? I need one right now.

[@michaelthomas4156]

The first recording sample sounds closer to a room mic setup. Is there anything different between how the two audio samples were recorded and mixed?

[@quiksilver78]

I assume here that because of the way the bridge is constructed, this block can also be used by and for left handed 510 bridges, correct?

[@songmore]

Did you change anything in the recording of the second clips besides the block? It sounds so drastically different that I'm finding it hard to believe you didn't change the mic position or amp settings.

[@KeyboardMac]

hi, just want to ask, if its possible to replace a ZR2 trem of an ibanez S Series, with a Gotoh 510 bridge, partnered with locking tuners?

[@juankmarte4046]

Does it fit AZ premium and prestige models?

[@waynegreenhaw3344]

Just got one of these guitars .. trying to figure out how to lower bridge.. looking like I can adjust posts like a Floyd..? Not sure.. doing some digging

[@briw4647]

Hmm. Sounds good, but u really should keep the sound recording / volume the same

[@Eric-dd8bk]

How high off the body does the trem bass plate have to be? Nice to see a tech mentioning that the setup should be done in a playing position. Thank you.

[@gmichaelhall]

Upgrade sounds enormous distorted! Looking forward to doing an FU-Tone block upgrade. Not sure if I would do it for the clean sound, the chime becomes metallic to a point it overtakes the chime and snap. Perhaps that is something that can be tweaked by trying various different block weights? Please don't mistake my intention, I'm not slagging at all, more keen to understand how the different block weights impact sound. I'm listening on AKG702, which are very flat and well suited for the audio side of this excellent demo. I have 32mm FR block and I do think this particular guitar of mine is choking the sustain somewhere in chain,so I wonder if a 37mm block is the way forward or if the denser fu 32mm block is best to maintain the stock FR bridge configuration. It's also a guitar that could benefit from a more metallic edge to its chiming properties..any thoughts from anyone is kindly appreciated ✌️🎶🎶

[@claudiokiari]

Hi. Does the inner holes are angled like the Gotoh's ones? I'm referring to the edge where the string goes out the block and touch the saddle.

[@DavidRamos-fx1bd]

Do you know if a floyd rose can go in the bridge?

[@hockeyman2274]

Wow, that made a huge difference

[@obicross]

does it work with suhr's gotoh 510?

[@timothymailloux7257]

When did you add the 3rd spring in the middle and for what purpose? I didn't see you put it in until it was already there and you were taking it out?

[@FloydUpgrades]

4:50 - - just for setup then removed.

[@Densities1289]

Extremely helpful excellent tutorial thank you so much.

[@jromabellera8973]

whats the material of the original block that you are changing?

[@brianvillage5]

The original block in these guitars is steel and it’s actually a pretty nice block. The USA DK24 comes with a brass block. Considering they and the sperzel tuners are the only difference between the Mexican and USA made one for 2,600 difference in price I’ll buy the $45 block and install it myself😂

[@skyline16028]

Just bought 3 of them，and they dont fit the gotoh 510 bridge at all，I tried on three of my gitars with gotoh 510 and these block in totally different size and shape，the screw holes are in different layout，totally a waste of money

[@tsafanyoh]

Did you get them for the Gotoh510 Bridge on the Charvel Pro-Mod specifically? Or a different brand guitar?

[@skyline16028]

@@tsafanyoh its very miss leading，if it only works for charvel why branding as for gotoh 510？as all the other standard gotoh 510 can fit，then what is the point？

[@tsafanyoh]

@@skyline16028 Yeah dude, it says on the order page that it's specifically sized for the "Custom" gotoh510 made for the DK24 and won't fit other models of the 510. Have you tried getting in touch with them to see if you can exchange it?

[@skyline16028]

@@tsafanyoh yes I already get into the return process，but Im based in the UK so that takes time and money，very inconvenient，they do have these mentioned in the description but very small on the bottom. such a uncomfortable shopping experience
