I fixed my axe today!! All it needed was 2 screws for the spring claw. The 2 stock screws were too short after I installed the tremol-no. The spring claw that comes with it is like 4-5(or more) times thicker. So when I was adjusting my action the stock screws just pulled out of the wood when I used my Floyd to play some Pantera. But when they pulled out they pulled out some big chunks(about the size of a Zippo lighter flint) of wood with them. So I had to buy not only longer screws(1.5" longer), but thicker ones as well. This prompted me to have to drill the screw holes in the Tremol-No's spring claw out a little. No problem once I got my workbench up in my little music room. Now I notice a BIG difference in tone, and sustain without the Tremol-No locked down. I guess the bigger screws are making a "bigger" contact with the guitar or something like that. Any ways, it sounds WAY better than it ever did before. Weird.
Always scoop the mids!! If it ain't METAL...it AIN'T music.
