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 fine-tuner screw delivers 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.
