Schaller LockMeister Tremolo - beyond your expectations
As the sole manufacturer of the world‘s most renowned double locking tremolo we felt it was time to push the envelope.
Proudly introducing the new Schaller LockMeister™ Tremolo!
Along with Schaller‘s famed precision the new LockMeister™ Tremolo offers a second to none C45-steel ground plate, forged and hardened in Germany, resulting in improved sound and sustain as well as superior tremolo performance and intonation.
New technologies enabled us to craft all components in unprecedented tolerances giving the Schaller LockMeister™ Tremolo a sublime level of workmanship and longterm quality.
But our attention to detail did not stop here. Performing meticulous assessments made us identify the perfect choice of pivot screws and tremolo springs.
Through more rigorous testing we learned how all burnished surfaces were prone to corrosion. That‘s why all studs, inserts and screws of our new Schaller LockMeister™ Tremolo now feature black-zinc and black-chrome finishes for improved look, touch and durability.
All this resulting in our world famous Schaller longevity.
Experience the new Schaller LockMeister™.
Special studs with additional inserts are used to mount the tremolo onto the instrument. The inserts have a fine thread. We also supply studs with threads which enable the studs to be specify screwed into the wood body of the instrument directly, i.e. without inserts.
The dimensions of our Tremolo LockMeister™ are exactly the same as the dimensions of the Floyd Rose Tremolo. You can easily replace your Floyd Rose Tremolo with our new LockMeister™ Tremolo. This also applies to all replacement parts! You can use an EVH D-Tuna.
Please note, compared to the Schaller tremolo, the base plate of the LockMeister tremolo moves approx. 1-2mm further forward towards the pickups due to the design.
The back of the saddles are numbered with 0,1 and 2.
0 is for the D and G strings, 1 is for the A and B strings and the number 2 is for both E strings.
If you switch from a Schaller tremolo to the LockMeister, please check whether you need the shorter M4x34 string locking screws (see Tremolos / Replacement Kits).
