Schaller LockMeister®6 Tremolo – beyond your expectations   Since its debut in 2012, the Schaller LockMeister-Tremolo became the most advanced locking tremolo. Just as we developed it decades ago for the US guitar industry and have been manufacturing here ever since: 100 % genuinely Made in Germany – design, engineering and production! With the 2023 upgrade of the LockMeister 6, our research & development department has expanded the performance of the system to include 2 new Pitch Perfect Features. Whereas previously only 10″ locking nuts and 12″ tremolos were available, there are now 5 different locking nut (R2/R3) and 4 different tremolo radii to choose from. In 2025 we also extended fine tuning screw M5 x 10, to enable a wider tuning range. The first double-locking tremolo on the market, that allowed individual adjustment to different fretboards, whether straight or compound radius: improved to the next level! Convince yourself of the authenticity: The back of the base plate is engraved with our famous Schaller S-signet and guarantees you 100% Made in Germany.  (Fig. 1: Schaller GmbH, 04/2023) The flowing transition from a strongly curved fingerboard in the lower registers to a flatter radius in the higher registers can now be realized exclusively with the new LockMeister system.How do I choose the radii for locking-nut & tremolo so that they match the fretboard radius of my guitar with a LockMeister 6 Tremolo?A distinction is made between two types.So please first check the fretboard radius on your guitar as specified by the luthier in order to make a correct selection. 1.) For necks with a straight radius fretboard:These guitar necks have a single radius over the entire length of the fretboard.  >> Choose the same radius for saddle and tremolo in the shop configurator. (Common curvatures in the music industry are: 7.25" (184.1 mm), 8" (203,20 mm), 9.5" (241, 3 mm), 10" (254), 12" (304,8 mm), 14" (355,6 mm), 16" (406,4 mm) etc.)2.) For necks with a compound radius fretboard:Their fretboards gradually transition from a smaller & rounder radius on the nut side (lower frets) to a larger & flatter radius on the tremolo/bridge side (higher frets).>> Choose the smaller radius for the nut side, and the larger radius for the tremolo side in the shop configurator!(Common curvatures in the music industry are: 7.25-9.5" (184.1-241,3 mm), 8-10" (203,2-254 mm), 10-12" (254-304,8 mm), 10-14" (254-355,6 mm), 12-16" (304,8-406,4 mm) etc.)Choose between the following radius options in our configurator:4 x tremolo radii: 10″, 12″, 14″ and 16″(Fig. 2: Schaller GmbH, 04/2023) 5 x locking nut radii: 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″ and 16″ (Fig. 3: Schaller GmbH, 04/2023)Also new: extended fine tuning screwsThe extended thread length of the M5 x 10 fine tuning screw (instead of M5 x 8) with its flat threaded tip also enables a wider tuning range. (Fig. 4: Schaller GmbH, 01/2025) Pitch perfect features: exclusively since 2023 for the LockMeister® 6 New height-adjusted one-piece string saddles: no more shims needed between saddle and baseplate. Fully closed string saddles on the bottom for optimum hold and contact to the baseplate: falling out saddle cover plates are history. The extended thread length of the fine-tuner screw delivers a wider tuning range. Improved locking nut and tailpiece shapes with a greater variety of radii. For longer playing time without retuning  Technical specifications Baseplate, saddles and locking nut from hardened steelDistance height adjustment screws: 74.3 mm according to international standards (sometimes only 74mm, it is identical)Size press-in bushing: 10 mmString spacing E-e: 54 mmSlideway intonation 8.5 mmWeight: 442 g with block length 37 mmTremolo block made of Pure Sound Brass: available in three block lengths: 32, 37, and 42 mm (please select the desired length in the configurator). The block is attached with three screws spaced 17 mm apart.Weight only Tremoloblock: 32mm (101 g), 37mm (119 g), 42mm (135g)Maximum string gauge: 0.080" / 2,03 mmTremolo radii: 10", 12", 14" and 16"Tremolo block: with 3 fixing screws at a distance of 17 mm, material brass.Locking nut: in the radii 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″ and 16″ and in widths R2 (41.4 mm) and R3 (42.9 mm), CNC-milled from one-piece steel.The bottom of the saddles are marked with dots like a dice. They are mounted on the baseplate from the outside to the inside with increasing numerical values, from which the radius results. There is always no dot on the outside for the E/e string saddles. The strings A/b, for example, could have one dot and the two inner saddles D/G two dots. The extended thread length of the fine-tuner screw delivers a wider tuning range.  Scope of supply 1 x locking nut complete with 2 pairs of mounting screws 1 x string retainer with mounting screws 2.2 x 16 mm 1 x tremolo claw complete with mounting screws 4.2 x 45 mm and 3 tremolo springs 2 x mounting studs M7 x 0,5 with 2 threaded bushings diameter 10 mm 2 x allen keys (2.5/3.0 mm) 1 Tremoloblock according to selected length Together with the 5 new locking nut radii, it can now be customized on different fingerboards. Whether straight or compound radius, with a total of 14 combinations, the new LockMeister system offers a wide range of possibilities. This ensures better playability and more fun while playing the guitar.   Every single part is manufactured with the highest precision at Schaller on CNC machines, for brilliant and precise surfaces and a long service life!Please note when changing from Schaller tremolo to LockMeister 6:If you want to change from a Schaller tremolo (with zinc baseplate) to a LockMeister 6 (made of steel) on a guitar, please check in advance whether shorter M4x34 string locking screws are required for LockMeister 6. The body routing for a Schaller tremolo may be smaller than for the LockMeister 6 with 40 mm string locking screws due to the design. The routing does not have to be extended for this, we offer shorter 34 mm string clamping screws that compensate the difference.See further accessories under replacement kits for tremolos. Guitar neck profiles and playability The neck profile, your own hand, and the fretboard radius determine comfort and playability. A rounder fingerboard conforms more to the natural curvature of the fingers, which is ideal for playing in lower registers, such as chords and barré grips. A flat radius provides a more even playing surface, ideal for bending and faster vertical playing in higher registers, which is often preferred for solos.About Schaller LockMeister and Original Floyd Rose® tremolos*The Schaller LockMeister tremolo is identical to the original Floyd Rose in terms of dimensions, materials and hardening process. This is due to historical reasons, as the Floyd Rose was manufactured by Schaller in Germany from 1980 onwards.(*Floyd Rose® is a registered trademark of Floyd Rose Marketing.)(Fig 5.: 40th Anniversary of Floyd Rose & the Schaller GmbH in 2020)"Floyd Rose Marketing Proudly presents this plaque to Schaller GmbH: With gratitude & appreciation for your continued support in celebration of our 40th Anniversary. Through your continued embrace of our hardware, you have helped to continue the Floyd Rose legacy in the 21st Century. Our sincere thanks for being an excellent partner without whom this anniversary would not be possible. We look forward to many more years of success working together."It is not for nothing that the US manufacturer's products have long been intensively advertised as “Made in Germany”, with the subtle difference that they are “manufactured with the highest precision from high-quality, hardened steel and a nickel-plated brass sustain block”.The latest innovations with a greater variety of tremolo and locking nut radii as well as the extended fine tuner screws come, like so many developments, from Schaller itself: The new presentation of the three Pitch Perfect Features took place at the NAMM show in April 2023.

Schaller LockMeister 6 left-hand tremolo – beyond your expectations  As the sole manufacturer of the world‘s most renowned double locking tremolo we felt it was time to push the envelope. Proudly introducing the new Schaller LockMeister tremolo! Along with Schaller‘s famed precision the new LockMeister tremolo offers a second to none C45-steel ground plate, forged and hardened in Germany, resulting in improved sound and sustain as well as superior tremolo performance and intonation. Our famous Schaller "S", our logo on the back of the base plate, guarantees you 100% Made in Germany.New technologies enabled us to craft all components in unprecedented tolerances giving the Schaller LockMeister-Tremolo a sublime level of workmanship and longterm quality. But our attention to detail did not stop here. Performing meticulous assessments made us identify the perfect choice of pivot screws and tremolo springs. Through more rigorous testing we learned how all burnished surfaces were prone to corrosion. That‘s why all studs, inserts and screws of our new Schaller LockMeister™ Tremolo now feature black-zinc and black-chrome finishes for improved look, touch and durability. All this resulting in our world famous Schaller longevity. Tremolo mounting is done with special mounting studs and threaded metric inserts. These are provided with a fine thread. Optionally, we also offer height adjustable wood screws for direct mounting into the wooden body. In this case, the insert is not required. The dimensions of our LockMeister are exactly the same as the dimensions of the Floyd Rose tremolo. You can easily replace your Floyd Rose tremolo with our new LockMeister tremolo. This also applies to all replacement parts! You can use an EVH D-Tuna. New height-adjusted one-piece string saddles for 12" tremolo-radius: no more shims needed between saddle and baseplate. Fully closed string saddles on the bottom for optimum hold and contact to the baseplate: falling out saddle cover plates are history. The extended thread length of the M5 x 10 fine tuning screw (instead of M5 x 8) with its flat threaded tip also enables a wider tuning range.Please note when changing from Schaller tremolo to LockMeister 6:If you want to change from a Schaller tremolo with zinc baseplate (left-hand version no longer available) to a LockMeister 6 left (made of steel) on a guitar, please check in advance whether shorter M4x34 string locking screws are required for LockMeister 6. The body routing for a Schaller tremolo may be smaller than for the LockMeister 6 with 40 mm string locking screws due to the design. The routing does not have to be extended for this, we offer shorter 34 mm string clamping screws that compensate the difference. See further accessories under replacement kits for tremolos.

SureClaw – the patented tremolo spring tensioner for electric guitars! Developed for guitarists who use a spring-loaded tremolo with tremolo block on their electric guitar, such as those fitted to Fender Stratocaster*, LockMeister or Floyd Rose guitars*. The Schaller Sure Claw allows quick and easy adjustment and fixing of the correct spring tension without having to remove the cover plate. (* Fender® and Stratocaster® are registered trademarks of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. / Floyd Rose® is a registered trademark of Floyd Rose Marketing.) The most important features at a glance Simple horizontal mounting with two screws Easy to adjust thanks to worm drive Simultaneous parallel adjustment of the spring claw by means of worm drive Easy readjustment with an Allen key through the closed cover plate of the tremolo chamber.suitable  for 6-and 7-strings Tremolos Eliminates problems such as: Extra long drill holes in the guitar body Excessive force and worn screw heads of the fastening screws due to jammed screwdrivers Risk of injury and damage to the guitar Constant tedious mounting and dismounting of the spring chamber cover Technical specifications  Weight: 94 g Holds up to three tremolo springs Dimension (WxDxH): 52 x 14.4 x 42 mm Please note: The SureClaw fits perfectly with original Schaller tremolo springs that have an outer diameter of 7.8 mm. If thicker springs are used, the center spring must be replaced with a 7.8 mm spring to ensure that the lead screw for the tension runs smoothly. Scope of delivery 2 x mounting screws M3.5 x 25 mm (shorten if necessary) 1 x pin for anchoring 1 x Allen key 3 mm The difference: Schaller Sure Claw vs Vintage Tremolo Claw The Vintage Tremolo Claw Vintage tremolo claws made of bent sheet metal are usually mounted in the body wall using two long wood screws, creating a floating suspension. The spring preload can be changed via the screw-in depth. If the screws are too long, this can lead to damage to the pickup via the screw-in depth, for example. Regular readjustment increasingly damages the bolt head and widens the bolt hole. Crooked threads can lead to a gap between left and right springs with uneven loading: The Vintage Claw then no longer sits parallel and the strings go out of tune when the tremolo is operated. The Schaller Sure Claw The Sure Claw is simply mounted flush and parallel in the tremolo compartment using two fixing screws, which guarantees an absolutely firm connection to the body. Up to three tremolo springs can be attached to the claw to create the connection to the tremolo. The spring preload is adjusted via two worm threads running precisely in the Sure Claw using a 3 mm Allen key (included). An additional hole in the cover plate allows immediate adjustment without additional assembly work. The claw is made of steel, brass and zinc. Once fitted, this rock-solid connection helps to improve tuning stability and at the same time supports the sustain of the electric guitar. Tips for installing a Schaller Sure Claw Before mounting, check the wall thickness between the spring chamber (back of the body) and the top (front of the body), as this can vary depending on the manufacturer. The mounting screws point towards the guitar top. If there is no drill hole yet, drill it depending on the wood used and observe the correct depth to avoid drilling through the top or top routings. If necessary, use a shorter mounting screw such as the 25 mm supplied (or shorten it). For earthing, strip an earth cable coming from the bridge, fan out the stranded wire and position it between the base plate of the Sure Claw and the body wood.  Now screw the Sure Claw to the base of the spring chamber, tightening it will connect the earth cable. This creates a secure and permanent ground connection.To adjust the Sure Claw, please relieve the tension springs of the tremolo.  Make the adjustment by hand using an Allen key; please do not use an electric screwdriver. Only use Sure Claw with three tension springs.Where should the fine adjustment hole for the hexagon socket be drilled in the cover plate? To enable you to drill the correct hole for inserting the hexagon socket, the Claw comes with a mandrel as a marking aid. First insert the spike with the tip pointing upwards into the hexagon socket of the assembled claw. Now place the cover plate precisely on the mounting points of the tremolo chamber of the body base. As soon as you tighten the fixing screws slightly, the mandrel will center the correct position for the drill hole in the body cover. Then remove the mandrel. drill the marked hole at the cover marking to insert the 3 mm Allen key. now close the cover and your Claw is ready for use. The spring preload can now be easily adjusted from the outside through the hole with the hexagon socket, without any additional assembly work.(Schaller GmbH accepts no responsibility or liability for the correctness, accuracy and completeness of the following technical drawing/s.)

Vintage Tremolo with roller saddles The baseplate of hardened steel and the solid spring block of the Schaller Vintage Tremolo ensures an outstanding sustain. The Roller bridge saddles fix the strings in their optimum position. It is also a perfect replacement for Fender® Stratocaster®* tremolos with standard 74.3 mm (equivalent to the distance between the height adjustment screws). Tremolo mounting is done with special mounting studs and threaded metric inserts.

Schaller S-Locks Classic set Strap lock buttons without fastening screws. With Schaller Security Locks, we developed and patented a completely new product in 1981, probably the most secure connection between guitar and strap. In contrast to our regular S-Lock range, where the strap pin and fastening screw are made of steel in one piece, the S-Lock Classic is the perforated strap pin sleeve, which is fastened via a separate fastening wood screw (not included in scope of delivery). Both versions offer Schaller's proven quality for securely fastening the strap to instruments such as guitars or basses. The S-Locks LockBy pulling the ball with locking pin away from the lock, you release the safety catch of the Schaller S-Locks attached to the belt as shown in the illustration. The belt lock is released and can be pulled off the side of the button (pin) attached to the instrument.Please read the following user guide before selecting S-Locks in our shop or installing them:S-Locks user guide Concept and features S-Locks: 3 x S for Safe Silent & Schaller strap locks Concept and features In the development of the new revolutionary S-Locks we have combined 3 parts to perfection: unique hardened steel strap buttons S-Locks suitable for different belt thickness with ergonomic operation and a patented locking nut - Lock-Wheel - with triple security architecture.

Schaller Hannes 6-string bridge: for guitars with fingerboard radii from 9.5 to 20 inches! A splendid fusion of innovation and tone in top quality - straightforward and noble. by far the most comfortable bridge on the market; the perfect blend of the acoustic properties of all current bridge designs; impresses with detailed highs, fast attack and a well-defined, powerful and harmonic sound; touch-friendly material and smooth surface with no edges; wear-free by waiving of metallic coatings at the string contact points; fresh, but unobtrusive look which gives the guitar design still a more noble appearance.stainless steel screws for extra durability Special features The Schaller Hannes bridge is a flat mount bridge designed for solid body electric guitars. The top must be flat in the area of the mounting surface for the bridge; this must be taken into account for carved tops.The Hannes saddles are made of our special Schaller Sounder® compound, a material blend with Teflon, which drastically reduces string breakage. The Schaller Hannes bridge is ergonomically shaped and has no sharp edges. In addition to improved playing comfort on the heel of the hand, the Teflon-containing material also protects the strings on the contact surfaces with its excellent sliding properties. Compared to other string saddles (made of brass or steel), Schaller Sounder® compound saddles increase sustain by up to 25 %.The sound of your guitar is much more harmonic, characterized by fine trebles and fast response as well as a defined, powerful and even reproduction. The string saddles rest on the body over a large area and are separated from each other due to the design, which results in an audible and noticeable gain in dynamics compared to all other known systems.The pickups can be earthed via the string anchorplate (it holds the individual string saddles by means of intonation screws). For earthing, simply position a stripped, fanned-out stranded wire as an earth cable between the base of the bridge support and the guitar top during assembly. Please note our detailed installation user guide for Hannes bridge.

Choose surface color 2.) Accessories with 3 mm underlay without 3 mm underlay About buzzing on roller bridges: The string spacing can be adjusted very precisely by the rollers. The roller moves at a minimum distance between the roller and the roller thread in accordance with the standardized manufacturing tolerance. It is therefore recommended that once the string spacing of the roller has been successfully adjusted, it should be secured with thread locking adhesive for threaded connections (e.g. Loctite 242 or similar). Advantages of threadlocker adhesiveThe hardened adhesive between the close-fitting metal surfaces of the roller prevents unintentional displacement of the rollers andvibrations caused by the string vibrations.In addition, the adhesive can usually be removed to allow the rollers to be moved again. Always observe the adhesive manufacturer's technical data sheet!(Schaller GmbH accepts no responsibility or liability for the correctness, accuracy and completeness of the following technical drawing/s.)

Schaller Oyster D/S – balanced new sound in a modern design The Schaller Oyster has been a classic contact pickup for decades. With its compact size and low weight, it can be easily mounted on guitar tops for spontaneous gigs or permanently installed in the body of acoustic instruments.The new oyster has become a little bit slimmer and convinces thanks to the new piezo technology with an even more balanced sound. This makes it the perfect pickup system for guitars, basses, ukuleles, mandolins and other acoustic stringed instruments.The Oyster is available in different cable lengths with a 6.35 mm (1/4″) jack socket or plug, as a single or double pickup, classic nickel-plated or in pure sound brass. Unique features of the Schaller Oyster Piezo-Pickup Piezo contact pickup: A sensor pickup for retrofitting or easy installation on and in an acoustic stringed instrument.New balanced piezo sound design, with lifelike and dynamic reproduction of the instrument sound, without active circuitry or preamplifiers. The excellent sound result is achieved by a perfect interaction of membrane and piezo element. Technical specifications Oyster shell material: brassWeight: 12 grams per Oyster shellPassive circuitry: no power supply like battery neededResonance frequency: 6.0kHz ±0.5kHzMax. Resistance (Zr): 500 ΩCapacitance: 14000 pF ± 30% pFSpecial feature: also suitable for percussive playingAvailable finishes: pure brass or nickel Brass or Nickel: The Right Look for Your Oyster- Brass: Choose Pure Sound Brass for rustic charm. The untreated brass oxidizes when exposed to air, forming a distinctive, matte patina. If needed, cleaners such as vinegar or citric acid will quickly restore its shine.- Nickel: Select the nickel-plated option in the configurator if you want the surface to shine and match the rest of the instrument’s hardware. Scope of supply Oyster Model D/S: with 2 x Oyster shells as shown in the PDF8 x adhesive foils Schaller Oyster in three different versions The Schaller Oyster is available in three different versions: as single (S/S or S/P) or double (D/S), whereby the two Oyster piezos of the D/S allow a wider frequency spectrum. It can be easily mounted with the included jack sockets or plugs of 6.35 mm (1/4″) diameter.

Therefore, for proper mounting/dismounting of the Oyster shell using foil in the body, and for mounting the end jack in the frame, we always recommend consulting your local guitar builder or dealer for advice. These options are often used in practiceUnder the strings, in front of the bridge, between the 2nd and 3rd treble strings.Directly next to the bridge on the treble sideBehind the bridge, towards the end of the body in the area of the treble stringsOn the D/S model with two Oyster shells, the second likes to be placed in the bass string area. It is also suitable for other positions (I=inside, O=outside):I+I: both shells inside the bodyI+O: one inside the body, one outside on the topO+O: both outside on the top Even the smallest changes in position lead to different sound results. The Oyster shell should always be fixed in an easily accessible place with the foil already glued on.About piezo systems for stringed acoustic musical instrumentsPiezo pickups are in principle suitable for many types of musical instruments. The sound depends very much on the mounting position. Patience is required in finding the right mounting position for a piezo pickup. Each player prefers their own "sweet spot". Even the slightest change in the piezo's position on the top or in the body will produce different sound results in bass, midrange, treble and volume levels.Passive piezo transducers are not powerful signal sources due to their physical design. For this reason, piezos are often used in an active design, with an integrated preamp and equalizer, to compensate the signal loss caused by long cable runs and to shape the sound characteristics. We recommend using preamps for acoustic instruments (e.g. a floor pedal) and/or acoustic amplifiers. The Boss GE-7, for example, offers a quick solution for adjusting the frequency spectrum with its 7-band equalizer: the signal strength can also be adjusted using the additional level control.  Numerous manufacturers offer a wide range of products for amplifying acoustic instruments: ACUS, AER, Audio Sprockets, Boss, Bugera, Elite Acoustics, Fender, Fishman, Grace Design, Hughes & Kettner, Joyo, Line 6, Marshall, Mesa Boogie, NUX, Orange, Ortega, Palmer, Quilter, Radial, Riviera, Trace Acoustic, Yamaha, Zoom and others.

Schaller Vintage Tremolo equipped with block style KTS saddles (block style, PR-18)Advantages of titanium saddles Titanium - very light, durable, resistant to corrosion and chemical agents, and with a very sweet yet detailed, highly musical tone Expect longer sustain, clearer note separation, improved string-to-string definition and touch sensitivity, more stable tuning and zero corrosion. Titanium saddles provide the brightest tone, with the most response and clarity. The low internal damping factor of Titanium, in combination with string vibration, results in improved response and dynamic touch sensitivity. The synergetic effect of Titanium`s pure and natural tone provides ultra-clear note separation, and even makes chords sound more defined and full. Our Titanium saddles do not alter the tonal characteristics - instead they bring out the player`s nuances by more clearly defining and transmitting the dynamics of string vibration and wood resonation. It is also a perfect replacement for Fender® Stratocaster®* tremolos.  Tremolo mounting is done with special mounting studs and threaded metric inserts. These are provided with a fine thread. Optionally, we also offer height adjustable wood screws for direct mounting into the wooden body. In this case, the insert is not required.
