Looks nice, although I think the "collet"(Brass cube) where the trem arm fits in might be too big to actually work.
I will hit the bottom of your guitars trem cavety or will result in little movement of the trem.

The brass block is 20mm high(including screws), I think it shouldn't reach the bottom.
Thank you for your comment. I will replace the screws with countersunk.

Re: Need help_DIY/Homemade jag/jm tremolo
Ok, I guess you're good then. The socket on both the AVRI and Japanese trems is about 20mm as well.
And on a side note, when you drill the holes for the strings in the string plate, best do 55mm between the two outer string holes instead of the usual 50mm. I find this has better tuning stability and less string slipping over the saddles. (unless you plan on using a tune--matic, then 50 mm will be ok)

Re: Need help_DIY/Homemade jag/jm tremolo
The distance from e to E will be 54 mm. I decided to remake the block (cut it by 4mm).
I'll try to make a self-made bridge. Fender RSD style.
Time is short, work is proceeding slowly.
Sawed some more blanks)
2 mm thick for the descendant-style tremolo, 4 mm for the bridge and bronze for the saddles.

Maybe, since Fender is holding it from us for so long, you could try recreating the Panorama vibrato if possible!

I thought about it, but I am confused by the possible friction in this tremolo.Vendetagainst wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 11:11 pmMaybe, since Fender is holding it from us for so long, you could try recreating the Panorama vibrato if possible!

Re: Need help_DIY/Homemade jag/jm tremolo
Does anyone have any information on how the rolling unit is organized in the Panorama Tremolo? Brass-brass? Or brass - Steel? Or brass - plastic-brass/steel? I have not found any reviews with disassembling, only one video (60 Cycle Hum) but the details are not clear there, although it seems that there is something else between the metal parts.
