I think your trem jig is really great. The only thing I think might improve it is that you could put a small 1/8 hole through the center of the removable studs. This would give you a more precise centered pilot hole to drill your stud holes. Just a thought. Great idea. I hope you make a million 😊

I was thinking the same. It’s not hard to add such a hole, but it is a separate step, and would be a bit fiddly keeping a round, plastic thing stable and intact. I can think of ways, but I’m getting annoyed imagining the tedium…

Great piece of kit!! It's very likely someone has already suggested this but here it goes: How about the Tremalone is one single piece (3D printed studs and base) and the holes on top of the studs go all the way, this way, instead of removing the 3D printed studs and drill with a big ass drill bit, you drill with a very small drill bit and the tremalone works as a guide to make sure your holes are perfectly square to the guitar body. Cheers!!!

I commend you on a really cool invention for locating the new Tremolo studs but I'm surprised you didn't think to create a router template to perfectly rout the tremolo cavity using a proper router and router bit. It would be easy to print one of those out specially if you figured out how to create and print your first tool. Hope you don't think I'm insulting you, not at all just throwing an idea out in case you didn't already think about it. Routing with a proper template and router will produce a much cleaner cavity and preserve the paint if taped off properly. Love the upgraded Kramer, those guitars kick ass and I really like the tool you created I build guitars and would love to buy one of those! Keep up the great work man!

Honestly, a great idea. The only thing I can think of that might make it even better is including a 12mm disk with a hole in it large enough for a center punch or a small drill bit, so those who aren't using 12mm bushings have a really easy way to mark the center for their drill bit.

I used this on my blue Kramer Baretta. I drilled out the bushings carefully. I used a drill press, I'd recommend anyone doing this use a drill press. I also reluctantly routed my body using a compact router. The shims work well, they should be pre-drilled to make it easier. But I'm happy with the install. A machinist can make you hard metal bushings for perfect drilling.

Nice idea. A few suggestions would be to elongate the mounting holes so you have the option to dial in the scale length. You could also press in some 3mm drill bushings in the pull-out studs so you can start a 3mm pilot hole and know you are drilling dead center.
@davespin9034
@davespin9034 Жыл бұрын
Agreed. Could have some bushings machined easily to spec as mentioned ensuring perfect alignment. If you want double use your 3D printed studs, add a hole in yours. But for multiple use for a guitar tech I'd use a metallic material.

I will be buying the 3D printed shims, much easier than shaving the head removing the hump and custom cutting a piece of maple shim. Something everyone should do before installing a floyd style top mounting nut is see how far off center the truss rod access is. My Gotoh nut caused the screw to blow out the wood wall of the truss rod groove. I had to make and glue in a custom bridging piece of wood with an arch to clear the Allen wrench access to the truss rod. This could happen even with this excellent 3D printed shim. As the saying goes, measure twice cut once.
