Hi, newbie with a new DK2M!

[StukaJU87]

Why not buy a real Floyd or Schaller trem arm and socket to replace the original? Is the socket removable on this trem?

[Sunbane]

As far as I have heard, the old ones also had issues with the arm working itself loose. A relatively cheap fix is to replace the arm + socket with the OFR equivalents, like Scott here suggests.

I found a black schaller trem arm and socket through guitarpartsresource for about 18 US dollars. Does anyone know if this would be a direct replacement?

Hey, thanks man Where in PA are ya? I'm going up to westchestermusic this afternoon to pick up the Exp.
2007 is turning out to be an expensive year for me gearwise and we're not even through January yet!

Slick. The white is a classy finish on that guitar.

Hey man, we just had a tread on the Super III. It is the same as a SD but with the treble rolled back a bit, I like them for trem guitars. It comes standard in the PC1. If you like alot of treble then I would try a regular SD like you had in your LP or maybe a Tonezone. Nice guitar man!

I was thinking maybe a drop of crazy glue on the threads would probably do it, but there might come a time when I might need to take the arm off lol.

Over 10 years ago, someone from Carvin told me about adding a drop of crazy glue to the threads would also work, but I never did that.

Okay cool. Sounds like the pickup for bright guitars. I might have to try one out in my Kramer 1984. Thanks!

toejam - I'm a little hesitant to do that myself.

Thanks again everyone for the welcomes and congrats. Well, I just got back from westchester. I ALMOST got the RR5(ivory w/pinstripes), but ended up with the Cherry 76RI Explorer. They had the RR5 for 1,000.
Here's the deal, my wife is expecting twins over the summer(late July), so I might be able to coerce her into me getting an RR1 or an SL1 by the end of the summer. You know, kinda like compensation for the twins.
