Build a guitar - Step 2
THE TREMOLO BRIDGE
1. Unpack the Tremolo, check all the parts, and set them aside. We'll start with the spring claw.
2. Lay the body/neck assembly face down, on an unobstructed surface to prevent damage to the finish, and position the tremolo spring claw as shown.
3. Making sure the spring claw is centrally located in the cavity mark the screw hole positions in preparation for drilling.
4. Pre-drill the spring claw screw holes to a depth of 3/4" using a 1/16" drill.
5. Install the spring claw using the two screws provided. Do not screw them all the way in. Leave the screw heads about 1/2" out.
