Q- What is a Tremol-No™ ?
A- The Tremol-No™ is an internationally patent-pending device that is
added to an electric guitar equipped with a tremolo/vibrato unit. It
allows guitarists to turn their tremolo unit "on" (so they
can raise or lower the pitch of the note with the tremolo unit) or "off" (where
the tremolo unit doesn't move at all; no lowering or raising of the
note pitch via the tremolo system).
Q- Will the Tremol-No™ fit on any/all guitars?
A- The Tremol-No™ will work on almost every tremolo equipped guitar
built since 1954. The rule of thumb is: If you've got 2, 3, 4 or 5 springs
in the back of your guitar, you can probably install a Tremol-No™
in it.
If you have questions about a certain trem, or something that's non-standard,
please feel free to contact us. Include front and back pictures of the
guitar and of the tremolo unit.
Q- What the heck is the "Deep-C™"?
A- The Deep-C™ is an accessory for the Tremol-No™ unit. When
locked in place, it allows full floating tremolos to function as 'dive-only'
tremolos. Just like the Tremol-No™, it installs with no modifications
to the guitar, and can be slipped on in under a minute. For example,
your fully floating trem can now be full floating, or 'dive-only',
or hardtail. Changing between the three takes mere seconds.
Q- I'm a 7-string player. Will the Tremol-No™ work on my
guitar?
A- Oh yeah.
Q- Are there different models for different tremolo systems?
A- For now, we're offering the Tremol-No™ Classic. It works on
with the largest variety of trem systems (OFR, Wilkinson™, Fender®,
etc). In the future, we plan on releasing
models specifically designed for certain tremolos.
The Tremol-No™ Classic will work on almost every
trem except:
Steinberger™, some Parker™ trems , Bigsby™, Wonderbar™,
and Kahler™ 'flat mount' units.
Q- Why do I want a Tremol-No™?
A- The Tremol-No™ was designed with the 'all-around' player in mind.
If you love your tremolo unit, but hate it when double-stops and other
pedal steel-type licks don't come out in tune because of the trem, then
the Tremol-No™ is the answer.
If you love the feel and/or tone of your favorite electric, but wish it
was a hardtail, or 'dive-only' instead, then the Tremol-No™ is the
answer.
You will not only increase sustain, but also expect an improvement in
overall tone as well.
With a Tremol-No™ installed, you can now do all your favorite alternate tunings on guitars you previously couldn't. Yes- even those with full floating trems. Add a Deep-C™ on, and you can drop tune, while still having 'dive-only' trem use.
Last, but certainly not least, is in the event of a string break if your Tremol-No™ and/or Deep-C™ are locked, you'll remain in tune.
Q- It looks complicated. Am I going to have to have a tech install
the Tremol-No™ for me?
A- I don't know your personal technical skills, but if you can change
the strings on your guitar, you can probably install a Tremol-No™
unit without any difficulty. It requires only simple tools and about
15-20 minutes.
Q- I've seen the other 'trem blocking' things out there. Do I
have to drill, route out, sand, start new screw holes, or use double-stick
tape with the Tremol-No™ unit?
A- Absolutely Not! The Tremol-No™ will install with no drilling,
no routing, no sanding, no pilot holes, nor any double-stick tape. It
is designed to be installed without any modifications to the guitar.
Put it on your rare '57, or on your new $99 super-store special. It can
be installed, and removed, non-invasively.
Q- Will the Tremol-No™ affect the 'feel' of my trem unit?
A- No. Unlike some other trem-blocking devices out there, the Tremol-No™ is
not spring-loaded so it won't change how your trem feels when you use
the bar.
Q- I like what I see and hear so far. Where can I buy a Tremol-No™
for my guitar?
A- Tremol-No™ production has begun! Units will be available very
soon from AllParts as well as other dealers and guitar part companies.
The very minute they become available for public purchase, the menu and
front page of the site will be updated with a 'where to buy' link.
Q- I want to be a Tremol-No™ endorsee. How do I become one?
(Actual emails: "I
can play way better than XXXX and YYYY. Gimme one."
"I eat guys like Paul Gilbert for breakfast, and right now I'm *very
hungry*...")
A- Click the link at the bottom of the page entitled "Employment
& Endorsements " and follow the instructions. There are
an extremely limited number of available units, so make it count folks.
Q- That's all well & good, but can the Tremol-No™ open a beer?
