The Tremol-no does this without having to put holes in your guitar.

[@gerdhery]

It's just little holes 😅

[@greendayray]

@@gerdhery Some people might not want to permanently modify their guitar. Just saying

[@gerdhery]

@@greendayray ok that's fine 👌🏻

[@DreidMusicalX]

Careful on some guitars that if you predrill that you don't go through into your pickups. I installed something like this that returns the bridge back to dead 0. Its about the same size and nearly went right into a Duncan. Best to remove the pickup just in case if you think it might hit one.

[@gerdhery]

Good point 👍🏻

[@allboutthemojo]

​@gerdhery so is the purpose only for easy string changes and downtuning? I'm not following how or if it could let you go from ( dive only ) to ( free floating ) on any tuning because the bridge level would change on downtuning while free floating

[@gerdhery]

@@allboutthemojo with "any tuning" I meant if you block the Tremolo you could tune your guitar to any tuning

[@MR-iz1te]

Thats a really practical little helper. Maybe I‘ll get one too 👍🏻👍🏻

[@gerdhery]

Thanks, yeah check it out.

[@crock2434]

Finally something worth watching. Thanks bro.

[@gerdhery]

Thx for your comment ✌🏻

[@danthegreaser71]

I really like that Jackson! Sweet guitar man

[@gerdhery]

Thanks, it was my Main Guitar from 2016-2018 and I used it in a ton of shows and rehearsals. It was about €700,- at Thomann. Now it's my "Test-Guitar" for downtuned stuff and it worked pretty well with the Hardtailer too.

[@danthegreaser71]

@@gerdhery it’s nice Brother!

[@lemac3200]

But, it's not a Hardtailer, it's a Diveonlier🤔

[@gerdhery]

I didn't made the name 😅 But if it's in neutral position it has no influence on the dives on both directions.

[@lemac3200]

@gerdhery I sure know you didn't name it. It's a marketing fail😄 But thanks for trying it out and providing a video

[@teriakamoto]

So you can do pull up bomb pinch harmonics ? I think that made sense ……..

[@gerdhery]

@@teriakamoto yes in the neutral position the Hardtailer has no influence on the Tremolo

[@nocheckmarkgames]

so what's the difference between this one and like a $15 one from Amazon? It has the letters E-N-G-L on it?

[@gerdhery]

I do not know the Amazon-stuff or others. This is very good German Quality. It's up to you which one you like the most ✌🏻

[@krokmiten]

It's pretty cool. I suspect they could improve the design by putting a felt pad or rubber tip at the end of the metal stopper, to prevent that knocking sound it makes when you release it a little too abruptly, seems like it could be heard in a recording.

[@gerdhery]

I think that's actually a good idea 😉

[@krokmiten]

@@gerdhery I can only imagine the racket that thing would do when you flutter the trem. lol

[@6oundStudio]

beaver technology is cool as well

[@gerdhery]

Never tried that. Do they make similar products?

[@6oundStudio]

@@gerdhery i meant your previous hardtailer tgat you had on your guitar

[@gerdhery]

Ah now I got it 😅

[@Horizon-1-3-5]

Its a fancy door bolt with a funky name lol

[@gerdhery]

Lol

[@benburnett8109]

This looks like you are making a mountain out of a molehill. It takes me about 15 minutes to change strings on a fully floating floyd rose and about 7 minutes to change strings on a "blocked' floyd rose. IT's really not as hard as you want it to be.

[@gerdhery]

You're hired as my guitar tech 😉

[@the_grube5782]

ESP makes them too, they're super cheap on Japanese websites, like $10

[@gerdhery]

If you the Japanese stuff more than German Quality then go and get one of these 😉

[@the_grube5782]

@@gerdhery haha, I have a Toyota and a BMW guess which one is in need of constant repair ;)

[@typedeaf]

[@davidbrockett8938]

What if you want all the springs on the tremolo?

[@gerdhery]

Good question. I think it will work even with all the springs, but you will have less surface to grab the knob. For me the solution I made was ok.

[@matthewearl9824]

The floyd should be flush with the body. If it is raised, the bridge will be too high and your action will get screwed.

[@gerdhery]

Yeah, I know that. I'm going to fix this. Thanks Buddy

[@gitarman666]

We need something that can lock the trem in place for stuff like double stop country style bends Without affecting the tuning and then unlocked to regain full use of the Floyd or whatever manufacturer you have Maybe some kind of locked by default system that becomes free once you start to depress the bar Then maybe a manual re-locking feature Don’t know

[@gerdhery]

Sounds interesting 🙂

[@nicholasbstone]

It's called the Hipshot Tremsetter. You're welcome.

[@gerdhery]

@@nicholasbstone thanks ✌🏻

[@JoePesos]

I have used the tremol-no on some of my Ibanez with floating bridges, it works great you can set it to fix the bridge or also configure to allow dive only. It locks/unlocks with a turn off a knob.

[@gerdhery]

@@JoePesos if it works for it's great 👍🏻

[@zagarothdb8777]

How does it compare to the tremol-no?

[@gerdhery]

Sorry I haven't tested that, so I can't say anything about it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MarshallGTV]

The tremel no is great, because of no drilling, but it has o rings that degrade over time. I have one, it sometimes doesn’t tighten back..

[@anahowana]

It's so small ! That's what she said lol...until she took it in there then she longer spoke lol

[@gerdhery]

Seems that you have experience with that? 😜

[@Ottophil]

I stopped buying guitars with trems 20 guitars ago

[@gerdhery]

I'm so used to Trems, but I really want to try out an Evertune-equiped Guitar. Did you ever tried that?

[@joshmore7175]

So this is a tremelno but worse?

[@gerdhery]

Never tried the Tremelono, so I can't compare them

[@Cpmnk]

Way overpriced

[@gerdhery]

German Quality isn't cheap 😉

[@mikerauter1859]

Ridiculous. The tremelno has done this for years. These posers are pretending it's some revolutionary concept.

[@gerdhery]

I think that it's actually good for the market that several companys do similar products, like with everything.

[@Ottophil]

You’re the only one claiming that

[@gerdhery]

Nah I don't think so 😉 But it's ok to have different opinions

[@fieryinsane]

This is the equivalent of taking a Lamborghini hard top and making it a convertible. No thanks!

[@jameslanclos568]

2:15 - If "that's what she said"....I definitely wouldn't repeat it.....especially on Utube !!! 🌭 You're choice of tools like the knife and the power drill has me cringing! All jokes aside, thanks for the video and the tips.

[@gerdhery]

Thanks, maybe I should consider doing Comedy 😜
