AP International Music Supply, manufacturer and distributor of Floyd Rose® Tremolo Systems, is proud to announce the distribution of The Tremolo Buddy, a convenient new tool for working on tremolo-equipped guitars.
The Tremolo Buddy is a lightweight, durable, and easy-to-use tool designed to simplify necessary maintenance tasks on a Floyd Rose® or other tremolo systems! This unique design offers a simple solution to tackling the “BIG FIVE” problematic maintenance areas of a tremolo-equipped guitar by helping to keep tension on the bridge:
- String changes
- Intonation adjustments
- Bridge height adjustments
- Spring claw adjustments
- Truss rod adjustments
Using two simple clamps, the Tremolo Buddy allows you to keep the strings on the instrument without having to loosen tension or place blocks under the bridge. This design also works as a stand to flip the guitar on to conveniently work on spring tension adjustments in an upright position. The tool is quickly unclamped by using easy-off triggers so you can get back to tuning or playing in a matter of mere seconds.
In addition to its intended usage for tremolo systems, technicians and musicians have found that the “third hand” is also handy for working on non-tremolo equipped instruments.
A durable glass-reinforced nylon body provides lightweight strength, while the rubber TPE foot pads protect the guitar’s body and is safe on all finishes.
Industry mainstay AP International Music Supply has over forty years of experience in manufacturing and distribution. In addition to Floyd Rose®, they currently manufacture and/or distribute Pure Tone Output Jacks, AxLabs Hardware, Ray Ross Bass Bridges, HexHider, DMI Guitar Labs, ProRockGear, and other brands that service the music industry.
