Log in nowSchaller LockMeister® 6 left Tremolo – beyond your expectations
Since its debut in 2012, the Schaller LockMeister® became the most advanced locking tremolo: 100 % Made in Germany – designed, engineered, and manufactured. Now we present the first double-locking tremolo that allows individual adjustment to different fretboards, whether straight or compound radius!
Our famous Schaller "S", our logo on the back of the base plate, guarantees you 100% Made in Germany.
The new LockMeister system can now be adapted to different fingerboard radii. While locking nuts (R2/R3) were previously only available with 10″ and tremolos with 12″, there are now 5 different locking nut radii and 4 different tremolo radii to choose from.
(Fig. 1: Schaller GmbH)
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.
LockMeister® 6 left pitch perfect triple feature – choose between:
4 x LockMeister Tremolos with fixed bridge radii: 10″, 12″, 14″ and 16″
(Fig. 2: Schaller GmbH)
5 x LockMeister Locking Nuts: 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″ and 16″ in width L2 (41.4 mm)
(Fig. 3: Schaller GmbH)
Also new: extended fine-tuner screws for a wider tuning range!

Pitch perfect features – only available for LockMeister® 6 left
- 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

- 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.

About 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.

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.
