  • Can someone tell me why...

    The Trem arm on my Schaller Floyd in my Jackson is all wobbly Like it doesn't feel solid I think there might be something wrong like I can move it where it doesn't move the bridge at all, so can someone tell me a way to fix this?

    Holy run ons Batman! I do believe Schallers are adjustable. Perhaps you can turn the nut where the bar goes in so it gets tight in the area you want it (boy that is a loaded line ). Otherwise yes, the arm on my Schaller is on the looser side of things as well, but I've never had major issues with it wobbling everywhere like my JT580's bar could do at times.

      You just need a 3 mm allen wrench, then open the trem cavity and tighten the screw under the trem bar collar that should do

        I think what you are saying is that the sleeve that goes through the base (where the trem arm screws into) might be loose, not the arm itself right?

        If that's the case, you'll have to take the bridge off the guitar and tighten the nut for the sleeve under the trem itself. It's probably loose and that's why when you push down on the trem arm it doesn't move the bridge right away. That sleeve has to be tight against the trem base for it to work correctly.

        Hope this helps.

          I was typing my answer (long winded as it is) when you pretty much summed it up in a lot less words! Sorry for the double answer!

                Haha I doubt I'll be getting any pictures of myself shredding anytime soon and I use the bar mostly for just light vibrato so it wobbling everywhere kinda ruined that.
