Allparts Tremol-No Small Clamp

I have installed two of these on my floating bridge guitars, and they do make it much easier to manage a floyd style bridge. First of all you can use it for the advertised main purpose, to allow for altered tunings without having to rebalance the whole instrument. Also perfect to safeguard against broken strings. Changing strings can be accomplished far more quickly too, as it holds the system in the right position to start playing straight away once you're in tune.

Build quality is impressively solid, the claw is an improvement over any standard trem claw. Initial set up is a bit time consuming as the alignment must be perfect to avoid friction, but the device is pretty much invisible once this is accomplished. I have found that changing string brands can mean you have to re-set the tremol-no because the tension may differ even with the same gauge. Not a massive dealbreaker since setting up the tremol-no is quicker once you've done it once before. Overall this is a very useful device that adds functionality without taking anything away from the simplicity of a regular floating bridge.

The Tremol-No is used for the Floyd Rose of my Suhr Rasmus.

There are plenty of youtube videos that you should familiarise yourself with before installation, as it helps with this kind of thing to really have a good grasp of what you're trying to achieve. Not only this, but Tremol-no themselves have taken care to describe best practice in the installation.

It may be necessary, depending on your guitar, to have longer clamp screws than what is already installed. This is not particularly mentioned anywhere, but my experience was that I'd have preferred to have a slightly longer screw for more security on the clamp.

In short, though, the Tremol-no is well designed, easy to operate, and pretty easy to install. Do also take care to investigate which clamp is required for you - there are a number of different models, and depending on your tremolo block you want to choose one that is compatible and that is going to be a good fit.

One last tip, don't forget (like I did) to keep your old spring clamp handy, in case you want to return the guitar back to factory condition!

No idea why companies don't offer it in their high end models, as it is a tool that compliments the floating bridge system perfectly and without retooling, makes living with a trem easier.

Decided to finally get one instead of just blocking the bridge with a piece of wood or similar. But it does so much more than that. Personally the things I like, and use, the most about it are:
Restringing and tuning. This may seem trivial, but the ability to block the trem fully in place, put new strings, tune them, and then unlock it, results in no need to use restringing and tuning tricks as is common with trems. Since restringing and tuning being so annoying with a trem is usually the downside, this solves it.
Block it anytime anywhere. Before I had to have a piece of wood or something to block it, and carry it. Sure, it's never a huge piece but this is integrated into the guitar and is a painless, safe, simple mechanism.

The only issue I've had is the fact that if your springs need a bracket to be held to the block, the clamp may be in the way. This is easily solved by getting longer screws for the bracket, or simply not using the bracket if your springs don't come off.

Anyway, a great addition. Now it'll be a must have in any guitar with a trem for me.

As with all Allparts products, quality is not an issue, the system is solid and built well.
This is my second one, as I already have one on my Ibanez RG570 1992 model. I got this one for my RG7620 1999 model, both have the lowpro edge bridge that works best with the small clamp.
It's easy to adjust it for dives only, or for completely locking the tremolo
Just make sure you pick the one that fits your guitar, they have a chart on the website to help you with that. It works just as advertised, and it's easy to install and easy to use.
Although I did have one small hiccup with it when I was changing strings for the first time after installing it on my RG570 the negative pressure from the springs that built up when I took off all the strings made it collapse on itself because nothing was actually blocking the springs and made for a bit of a hassle to reinstall with no strings in the bridge.To avoid making the same mistake, just make sure you use a wooden block or a stack of coins or just anything solid that fits the cavity when changing strings, or just use the tremolo bar to apply pressure to the tremolo like you were changing strings on a regular tremolo guitar, otherwise it works great.

This ingenious piece of hardware allows you to control your floating bridge in 3 possible settings: completely blocked, one-way only (pulling the arm, like a vintage tremolo: i.e. Strat) and two-ways as a normal floating bridge.
It's really effective: if the bridge is blocked it holds tuning as a hardtail would.
The installation is super easy, the control cavity can be closed normally and the passage between the 3 settings is very quick, projected to be changed between songs without any hassle: you just have to turn 1 or 2 of the little knobs.
This particular model fits most Floyd Rose's bridges (licensed ones too).

I bought two of these. And if it were possible to review each one, the other would have receive a perfect rating. This review is for the one that is missing a part.

I received both Tremol-no and the packaging didn't seem to have been opened or have any signs that anything fell out. Unfortunately for one of the Tremol-no, it was missing the lower clamp part therefore rendering it unusable. I had to return that one.

For the other Tremol-no, perfect score. Apart from the one I returned, this would be my second Tremol-no, and both function as intended - very well actually...
