Schaller LockMeister Tremolo - beyond your expectations - Proudly introducing the new Schaller LockMeister™ Tremolo - Made in Germany!

A word from Schaller:

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.

New technologies enabled us to craft all components in unprecedented tolerances giving the Schaller LockMeister™ Tremolo a sublime level of workmanship and long term 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.

Experience the new Schaller LockMeister™. 

Special studs with additional inserts are used to mount the tremolo onto the instrument. The inserts have a fine thread. We also supply studs with threads which enable the studs to be specify screwed into the wood body of the instrument directly, i.e. without inserts.

The back of the saddles are numbered with 0, 1 and 2.

0 is for the D and G strings, 1 is for the A and B strings and the number 2 is for both E strings.
