Buzzing tremolo

Post by dusura » Mon Feb 01, 2010 6:41 pm

Hi,

I'm new here so please go easy on me. :)

I bought an AVRI Olympic White Jazzmaster recently. I'm having some problem with the tremolo arm "housing" (not sure how to call it) buzzing when I play. It buzzes regardless of whether the tremolo arm is on or not. I can stop the buzz by pressing down on the housing with my fingers. Any suggestions on the best cure for this?

Cheers,
Dave

Probably a loose collet (that is the tube that you put the arm into).

Slacken the strings and put a capo on them to keep them in place. Unscrew the tremolo and tighten the collet with at wrench.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
