JM Blacktop tremolo arm

Post by nico2mars » Sun Jan 14, 2018 12:24 am

Hi everyone,
is it normal that on my JMBT the tremolo arm is not "locked" at all and can fall down if the guitar is bended to much ?.... any hack or solution to fix it ?
Thanks

Good news!

It's worked well for me on AVRI and Squier trems.
