Is there a way to center the arm insert part of the trem assembly? Mine is rubbing on the south end of the insert hole.

Is that with the vibrato under tension (i.e. with the guitar strung up to pitch)? I only see that when there's no string tension.

Looks like there are no strings installed in that picture.
So yeah, can be 'fixed' by stringing up the guitar as DrippyReverbTremolo alluded to.

If it is under tension, you need to adjust the screw until it floats. It could just be that the screw is tightened all the way, causing the trem to be all the way up against the base plate.

Re: Trem arm not centered
Ugh… my oversight. I feel like a goof. I was changing strings and not thinking this through. Thanks for pointing it out. All good.
