ABSTRACT:
A guitar having a body, a headstock, a neck, a plurality of strings, and a tremolo device including at least two bevelled-slotted pivot points. The bevelled-slotted pivot points have a top and bottom bevel which lowers the friction of the bevelled-slotted pivot points against the v-shaped grooves of the studs. The tremolo includes spring claw fasteners that support the tremolo system and allow the tremolo height or position to be adjusted without affecting the structural integrity of the tremolo. A tremolo arm assembly is provided which allows the tremolo arm to remain in a fixed position to prevent interruption of play.
